I'm trying a simple code to test if I know to return a pointer from a C DLL to be used in other functions of the DLL as a parameter. But something doesn't run
C DLL code
#include <stdint.h>
#if defined(WIN32) || defined(_WIN32)
#define EXPORT __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define EXPORT
#endif
EXPORT int* init() {
int *p = (int *)calloc(sizeof(int));
p[0]=33;
return p;
}
EXPORT int get(int* base) {
return *base;
}
Code of my node application
var ffi = require('ffi');
var ref = require('ref')
var intPtr = ref.refType('int');
var libm = ffi.Library('./miffi', {
'init': [ intPtr, [ ] ],
'get': [ 'int', [ intPtr ] ],
});
var idx = libm.init()
console.log("I get id" )
console.log(libm.get(idx))
But doesn't show the first "console.log", although it doen't show any error. If I remove the line "p[0]=33;" I can see the first "console.log" although get doesn't run.
Thanks a lot
I solved it. I just forgot to add
#include <stdlib.h>
I didn't see the warning about it.
