<p>This example demonstrates how to use complex types:

<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
#include &lt;ffi.h&gt;
#include &lt;complex.h&gt;

void complex_fn(_Complex float cf,

                   &amp;ffi_type_void, args) == FFI_OK)

<p>This is an example for defining a custom complex type descriptor
for compilers that support them:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">/*
 * This macro can be used to define new complex type descriptors
 * in a platform independent way.
 *
 * name: Name of the new descriptor is ffi_type_complex_&lt;name&gt;.
 * type: The C base type of the complex type.
 */
#define FFI_COMPLEX_TYPEDEF(name, type, ffitype)             \
  static ffi_type *ffi_elements_complex_##name [2] = {      \
    (ffi_type *)(&amp;ffitype), NULL                             \
  };                                                        \
  struct struct_align_complex_##name {                      \
    char c;                                                  \
    _Complex type x;                                         \
  };                                                        \
  ffi_type ffi_type_complex_##name = {                      \
    sizeof(_Complex type),                                   \
    offsetof(struct struct_align_complex_##name, x),         \
    FFI_TYPE_COMPLEX,                                        \
    (ffi_type **)ffi_elements_complex_##name                 \
  }

/* Define new complex type descriptors using the macro: */
/* ffi_type_complex_sint */
FFI_COMPLEX_TYPEDEF(sint, int, ffi_type_sint);
/* ffi_type_complex_uchar */
FFI_COMPLEX_TYPEDEF(uchar, unsigned char, ffi_type_uint8);
</pre></div>

<p>The new type descriptors can then be used like one of the built-in
type descriptors in the previous example.
