I'm wrapping a C function exists in a shared library. Its prototype
looks like as follows
int getFileNames(int aSize, char **names);
The documentation says that the asSize is the number of entries to be
returned and
names is output array of character pointers of at least aSize
elements. So, I defined
a function prototype in python, follow ctypes tutorial, and try to run
it. The following
code section shows what I did.
_getNames = TheLib.getNames
_getNames.restype = c_int
_getNames.argtypes = [
c_int,
POINTER(c_char_p)
]
def getNames():
aSize = 1024
names = (c_char_p * arraySize)()
rc = _getNames(aSize, names)
After that, I make a call to getNames() in my python program and,
unfortunately, either TypeError
or Segmentation fault. Sigh...
I wonder that whether the _getNames prototype definition in my code
section is correct??
If it isn't, I guess so, how do I do a right one?
Another, whether the usage in getNames() is correct??
Appreciate for any reply or recommendation.
