ammer

Definition

An ammer library is a set of library definitions and library datatype definitions. Since Haxe organises code into modules and classes, both libraries and library datatypes are defined using Haxe classes. This section provides a guide-level explanation of the various parts of a library definition, with examples. Further detail can be found in later sections.

Libraries

The APIs of native libraries consist of a set of exported functions. An ammer library definition should list these functions and adapt their signatures to Haxe types. Library definitions can also expose constants.

Datatypes

In addition to functions, libraries often define their own datatypes which group together data in a meaningful way. In C, these correspond to pointers to struct types, opaque pointers, enum types, or union types.
