|
|
|
* The argument to a bool cast must be integral type (boolean or integer); when used as a return |
|
|
|
type the viper function will return True or False objects. |
|
|
|
* If the argument is a Python object and the cast is ``ptr``, ``ptr``, ``ptr16`` or ``ptr32``, |
|
|
|
then the Python object must either have the buffer protocol with read-write capabilities |
|
|
|
(in which case a pointer to the start of the buffer is returned) or it must be of integral |
|
|
|
type (in which case the value of that integral object is returned). |

Writing to a pointer which points to a read-only object will lead to undefined behaviour. |

The following example illustrates the use of a ``ptr16`` cast to toggle pin X1 ``n`` times: |
