Properly use Objective C++

Question

I\'m coding an app for iOS and I recently #included a C++ header file in an Objective C implementation (.m) file. I changed the extension from .m to .mm and expected everything

Answer 1

following the code at Rob Napier's blog I did it for CAAudioUnitOutputCapturer. Thought I would share it to save other folks time.

RNWrap.h

//
//  RNWrap.h
//
//  ObjC wrapper for Wrap.cpp
//

#import 
#import 
#import 
#import 
#import 
#import 

struct RNWrapOpaque;

@interface RNWrap : NSObject {
struct RNWrapOpaque *_cpp;
}

- (id) initWithAudioUnit:(AudioUnit) au andURL:(CFURLRef) outputFileURL andAudioFileTypeID:(AudioFileTypeID) fileType andAudioStreamBasicDescription: (const AudioStreamBasicDescription) asbd;
- (void) Start;
- (void) Close;
- (void) Stop;

@end

RNWrap.mm

//  Objective C++ Wrapper Class for CAAudioUnitOutputCapturer.h

#import "RNWrap.h"

@interface RNWrap ()
@property (nonatomic, readwrite, assign) RNWrapOpaque *cpp;
@end

@implementation RNWrap
@synthesize cpp = _cpp;

struct RNWrapOpaque
{
public:
    RNWrapOpaque(AudioUnit au, CFURLRef outputFileURL, AudioFileTypeID fileType, const AudioStreamBasicDescription format) : outputCapturer(au, outputFileURL, fileType,  format, 0) {}; // note added bus number = 0 at the end
CAAudioUnitOutputCapturer outputCapturer;
};

- (id)initWithAudioUnit:(AudioUnit) au andURL:(CFURLRef) outputFileURL andAudioFileTypeID:(AudioFileTypeID) fileType andAudioStreamBasicDescription: (const AudioStreamBasicDescription) format
{
self = [super init];
if (self != nil)
{
    self.cpp = new RNWrapOpaque(au, outputFileURL, fileType, format);
}
return self;
}

- (void)dealloc
{
delete _cpp;
_cpp = NULL;

//[super dealloc];
}

- (void) Start
{
self.cpp->outputCapturer.Start();
}

- (void) Stop
{
self.cpp->outputCapturer.Stop();
}

- (void) Close
{
self.cpp->outputCapturer.Close();
}

@end

You use it like this in your class.

- (void) captureInAppAudio:(AudioUnit) auToCapture
{
AudioStreamBasicDescription destFormat; 
memset( &destFormat, 0, sizeof(AudioStreamBasicDescription) );
destFormat.mSampleRate = 44100;
destFormat.mFormatID = kAudioFormatLinearPCM;
destFormat.mFormatFlags = ( kAudioFormatFlagIsSignedInteger | kAudioFormatFlagIsPacked | kAudioFormatFlagIsBigEndian );
destFormat.mBytesPerPacket = 2;
destFormat.mFramesPerPacket = 1;
destFormat.mBytesPerFrame = 2;
destFormat.mChannelsPerFrame = 1;
destFormat.mBitsPerChannel = 16;

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

soundPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingString:@"/recording.caf"] ;
CFURLRef fileurl = CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath(NULL, (CFStringRef)soundPath, kCFURLPOSIXPathStyle, false);
captor = [[RNWrap alloc] initWithAudioUnit:auToCapture andURL:fileurl andAudioFileTypeID:'caff' andAudioStreamBasicDescription:destFormat];

[captor Start];
}

Hope this helps someone else out there!
