/**
 * Indicates that a {@link jnr.ffi.Struct}} parameter should be
 * backed by a persistent native memory block.
 * 
 * 

Without the {@code @Direct} annotation, the native code will allocate a * temporary native memory block for the parameter, and free it immediately after * the call. * *

By using {@code @Direct}, the native memory block is permanently associated * with the {@link jnr.ffi.Struct} instance, and will remain allocated * for as long as the {@code Struct} instance remains strongly referenced by java code. * */ @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) @Target(ElementType.PARAMETER) public @interface Direct { }
