Convert JNI types to Native types

Question

While there is documentation regarding turning a jstring to a native string (string nativeString = env->GetStringUTFChars(jStringVariable, NULL);

Answer 1

To cast a jboolean (which may only contain the values JNI_FALSE or JNI_TRUE) to a native bool I would use something like this :

(bool)(jboolean == JNI_TRUE)

If perhaps the jboolean isn't coming from the JVM, then testing for jboolean != JNI_FALSE might be considered safer.
