CGPathApply

Jon_Hull · 2016-05-13T04:04:28.000Z

I am having the darnedest time trying to figure out how to use CGPathApply with a swift function in Swift 2.2+. I tried it before in Swift 1.2 and it wasn’t possible without bridging to ObjC, but I am fairly sure that changed with Swift 2. Every search I do just comes up with people saying it isn’t possible in Swift 1.

Does anyone know how to pull this off? (I am trying to read in a CGPath and create my own enum-based path struct for easy editing)

Thanks,
Jon

This seems to do it:

https://gist.github.com/zwaldowski/7e6eacc9dea0682690a820afa62e54ff

CGPathApply-2_2.swift

import QuartzCore

private final class PathContext {

    let body: CGPath.Element -> Void
    init(_ body: CGPath.Element -> Void) {
        self.body = body
    }

}

Problems are just like any context-based C API, you need to squeeze all
the important stuff into a word-size thing.

… and the best way to do that is to use a closure.

typealias CGPathApplierBlock = @convention(block) (CGPathElement) -> Void

func CGPathApplyBlock(path: CGPath, @noescape block: CGPathApplierBlock) {
   CGPathApply(path, unsafeBitCast(block, UnsafeMutablePointer<Void>.self), { info, element in
       let block2 = unsafeBitCast(info, CGPathApplierBlock.self)
       block2(element.memory)
   })
}

Share and Enjoy

100% right. That solution is by far better if you wanted to work with
the CGPathElement, since that's block-representable. My solution was
assuming (perhaps wrongly) to want to represent it as a Swift type.
You're the best, as always! :)

Cheers!
