Interfacing jBASE with go (golang)

Hi Lamont,

I've not used "go" but perhaps this example will get you going

cat main2.c
/*
* Example of a C program calling INTO jBASE
*/
#include <jsystem.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
/*
* Define some prototypes.
* In jBASE 6.1 these are included in jsystem.h
*/
#if !defined(JBASE_SESSION_OBJECT)
void * JBASEVARFactory(void * passed_dp);
int JBASEVARDestroy(void * passed_dp, void * passed_var);
int JBASERunSubroutine(void * passed_dp, char *subroutineName,
unsigned int argCount, void ** VarArray);
void * JBASESessionObjectFactory();
int JBASESessionObjectDestroy(void * passed_dp);
#endif


int main(int argc , char * argv[])
{
struct jBASEDataAreas * dp ;
VAR Var1 , Var2 , Var3 ;
VAR WorkVar1 , WorkVar2 ;
/*
* Create a control structure that we usually by convention
* call 'dp' and allocate a port number.
*/
if ((dp = JBASESessionObjectFactory()) == NULL) {
printf("Ooops, jBASE won't give me a port\\n");
exit(1);
}
printf("Allocated port number correctly\\n");
/*
* We will call a SUBROUTINE passing 3 parameters.
* First, initialise 3 jBASE VAR objects.
*/
VAR_INITIALISE_VB(&Var1);
VAR_INITIALISE_VB(&Var2);
VAR_INITIALISE_VB(&Var3);
/*
* Initialise the variables with some data.
*/
STORE_VBS(&Var1 , (STRING*)"This is a return value");
STORE_VBS(&Var2 , (STRING*)"The answer to life, the universe, everything is ");
STORE_VBI(&Var3 , 42) ;
/*
* Call the subroutine named 'MAINSUB1' with 3 parameters.
*/
{static JBASESUB subdef = {"MAINSUB1"}; (*(CALL_DIR(dp, &subdef)))(dp, (JCONST char *)"VVV", &Var1, &Var2, &Var3);}
/*
* The subroutine will concatentate Var2 and Var3, and put the result in Var1.
* Display the contents of Var1. We will perform the equivalent of
* PRINT "Var1 = ":Var1
* This means having a temporary variable to do the concatenation in (WorkVar1)
* and a temporary variable to contain "Var1 = "
*/
VAR_INITIALISE_VB(&WorkVar1);
VAR_INITIALISE_VB(&WorkVar2);
STORE_VBS(&WorkVar2 , (STRING*)"Var1 = ");
PRINTN_VIB(0,CAT_BBBB(&WorkVar1, &WorkVar2, &Var1));
VAR_RELEASE_VB(&WorkVar1);
VAR_RELEASE_VB(&WorkVar2);


/*
* All finished.
* We release all the resources used by 'Var1', 'Var2' and 'Var3'.
* We then release the jBASE object, which must be the last thing to do.
*/
VAR_RELEASE_VB(&Var1);
VAR_RELEASE_VB(&Var2);
VAR_RELEASE_VB(&Var3);
JBASESessionObjectDestroy(dp);
exit(0);
