Hello,
the code generated by jextract should be re-arranged so it only requires to use --enable-native-access when the user uses a function that can violate the integrity.
Currently, if a .h only contains a simple struct, like
struct point {
int x;
int y;
};
jextract generates two java classes, point and point_h, point describe the structures and point_h the library,
but because point has a runtime dependency on point_h, a code like
import point;
import point_h;
try(var arena = Arena.ofConfined()) {
var p = point.allocate(arena);
point.x(p, 42);
System.out.println(point.x(p));
}
requires to use --enable-native-access even if using a layout does not violate the integrity of the application/platform.
regards,
Rémi
