java intbyreference_我应该如何通过Java中的值传递和返回unsigned int到jna中的C / C ++(How should I pass and return unsig...

My C++ function

extern "C" {

DECLSPEC unsigned int STDCALL doNumberThing(unsigned int some_number);

}

My Java Interface

package com.myplace.nativeapi;

import com.sun.jna.Library;

import com.sun.jna.Memory;

import com.sun.jna.Pointer;

interface NativeAPI extends Library {

int doNumberThing(int some_number);

}

Obviously this has a problem when dealing with values that are only valid for one or the other of the mismatched types (int vs unsigned int); what is the recommended way to get around this? One answer elsewhere recommends "IntByReference", but unless I've misunderstood, they're talking about the long*, not the actual unsigned int being passed by value.

(This is trimmed down example code, if there's a syntax error, let me know in the comments and I'll update the question)
