c语言数组类型void,将arrary数据设置为使用C语言的Avro数组类型

我的Avro的模式是这样的：

{

"name": "School",

"type":"record",

"fields":[

{

"name":"Employees",

"type":["null", {"type": "array",

"items":{

"name":"Teacher",

"type":"record",

"fields":[

{"name":"name", "type":"string"}

{"name":"age", "type":"int"}

]

}

}

],

"default":null

}

]

}

在我的Objective-C代码，我有Teacher对象的数组，每个老师对象包含name & age值。

我想用上面显示的模式使用Avro将教师数组数据写入文件。我主要关心如何将数据写入上述模式中定义的Employees数组。

这里是我的代码(我用C代码风格做到这一点，我按照Avro C documentation)：

// I don't show this function, it constructs the a `avro_value_t` based on the schema. No problem here.

avro_value_t school = [self constructSchoolValueForSchema];

// get "Employees" field

avro_value_t employees;

avro_value_get_by_name(school, "employees", &employees, 0);

int idx = 0;

for (Teacher *teacher in teacherArray) {

// get name and age

NSString *name = teacher.name;

int age = teacher.age;

// set value to avro data type.

// here 'unionField' is the field of 'Employees', it is a Avro union type which is either null or an array as defined in schema above

avro_value_t field, unionField;

avro_value_set_branch(&employees, 1, &unionField);

// based on documentation, I should use 'avro_value_append'

avro_value_append(&employees, name, idx);

// I get confused here!!!!

// in above line of code, I append 'name' to 'employees',

//which looks not correct,

// because the 'Employees' array is an array of 'Teacher', not arrary of 'name'

// What is the correct way to add teacher to 'employees' ?

idx ++;

}

我想问的问题，实际上是在上面的代码注释。

我遵循Avro C文档，但我迷路了我怎么能把每个teacher加到employees？在我上面的代码中，我只将每个老师的name添加到employees数组中。
