My first question here. Please give me a hint if I do something wrong.
My question: I have to call a c++ function through a Delphi wrapper (VCL). The delphi wrapper looks like:
function TFoxBurnerSDK.ReadFileContents(FilePath: string; Offset: int64; var Buffer; Length: integer; var ActualLength: integer): boolean;
begin
CheckActive;
if FSessionHandle=nil then begin
FLastError:=BS_SDK_ERROR_BAD_REQUEST;
Result:=false;
Exit;
end;
Result:=DLLResult(FoxBurnerSDKCore.ReadFileContents(FSessionHandle,
PFoxSDKChar(FoxSDKString(FilePath)), Offset, @buffer, Length, @ActualLength));
end
How to call this function from Delphi code. Mean what var/parameter I will need to send to the function? It seems that buffer and ActualLength are pointers in C++
int32 BS_CALL ReadFileContents( HSESSION hSession, const TCHAR* lpszFilePath, int64 nOffset, void* pBuffer, int32 nBufferSize, int32* pRead );
And that is the problem for me, how to handle the pointers in Delphi. I thought that this is the right call in Delphi:
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var Bytes: TBytes;
iRead : integer;
begin
SetLength(Bytes, 2352*27);
iRead:=0;
Burner.ReadFileContents('\autorun.inf', 0, Bytes, 2352*27, iRead);
end;
But this will cause a memory expection. If I call the function from a C++ sample it works well. Just here in Delphi an expection happen. So I think I made something wrong.
I hope I gave all needed information to get an answer. If not please let me know what I miss. Thank you.
Added information: Definition:
ReadFileContents : function (Session: HSESSION; FilePath: PFoxSDKChar; Offset: int64; Buffer: pointer; BufferSize: integer; Read: pinteger): integer; stdcall;
function ReadFileContents(FilePath: string; Offset: int64; var Buffer; Length: integer; var ActualLength: integer): boolean;
It should be defined this way:
ReadFileContents: function
( Session: HSESSION // HSESSION
; FilePath: PChar // TCHAR*
; Offset: Int64 // int64
; Buffer: Pointer // void*
; BufferSize: Integer // int32
; Read: PInteger // int32*
): Integer; // int32
cdecl; // C++, don't know why you use stdcall
And the call should be
var
iResult, iLength, iRead: Integer;
sFilePath: String;
iOffset: Int64;
aBuf: Array of Byte;
begin
iLength:= 5;
SetLength( aBuf, iLength );
iResult:= ReadFileContents( FSessionHandle, PChar(sFilePath), iOffset, @aBuf[0], iLength, @iRead );
