CFNumberCreate(_:_:_:)

Creates a CFNumber object using a specified value.

Declaration

func CFNumberCreate(_ allocator: CFAllocator!, _ theType: CFNumberType, _ valuePtr: UnsafeRawPointer!) -> CFNumber!

Parameters

  • allocator:

    The allocator to use to allocate memory for the new object. Pass NULL or kCFAllocatorDefault to use the default allocator.

  • theType:

    A constant that specifies the data type of the value to convert. See Cfnumbertype for a list of possible values.

  • valuePtr:

    A pointer to the value for the returned number object.

Return Value

A new number with the value specified by valuePtr. Ownership follows the The Create Rule.

Discussion

The theType parameter is not necessarily preserved when creating a new CFNumber object. The CFNumber object will be created using whatever internal storage type the creation function deems appropriate. Use the function CFNumberGetType(_:) to find out what type the CFNumber object used to store your value.
