Dynamic type

[Ilir-Liburn]

Hello,

I tried using Dynamic type via haxe-c-bridge and it works! The most interesting part is happening due to memory alignment ( see printDynamicType function ).

Now I wonder if there is a better way to get ValueType ( outside of the Haxe code or by reducing the Haxe code ).

Edit:

I tested this using Win32 because I don't have 64 bit version of cl, can't compile 64bit version even gcc 64 bit version is used ( see https://github.com/haxiomic/haxe-c-bridge/issues/38 )

        var val:Int = -1; 
        var dyn:Any = val;
        return dyn;

    static public function getDynamicFloat() {
        var val:Float = 99234234.99234234; 
        var dyn:Any = val;
        return dyn;
    }

    static public function getDynamicType(dyn:Any) {
        var idx = Type.typeof(dyn).getIndex();
        var arr = Type.getEnumConstructs(Type.ValueType);
        trace("HaxeEnumType = " + arr[idx]);
        return idx; 
    }
