I will have to look into that. My function I want to wrap has the
following signature
unsigned char *MagickGetImageProfile(MagickWand *wand,const char
*name,
size_t *length)
Well, the first argument and the second are straight forward, and work
as expected. The last argument also works and it should take up the
length of the string (unsigned char *). If I now do
dll.MagickGetImageProfile.restype = c_char_p
result = dll.MagickGetImageProfile(wand, "8bim", byref(length))
result is either an empty string or a 3 bytes long string, while
length containes the correct length of 1086 bytes for example. I also
tried
dll.MagickGetImageProfile.restype = POINTER(c_ubyte)
with the same result. But maybe I should do some further debugging....
Best regards,
Oliver
