sergeev:

Well, did you get

No, it's not going to work.

To get what I want, I need to know the full structure of the array and have a pointer to the beginning of the structure.

You can try it, of course... But that's a hack). Although in general... Yes, I'll have to try it )

[---]

what is "full structure"?

its size? or the type of data?

sergeev:

what is "full structure"?

In short, it won't work.

[---]

where is the problem?

[TheXpert]

sergeev:
Could you elaborate on where the problem is?

Well for example -- when you pass an array of strings to the dll, you don't pass a pointer to a null-string, but a structure with a pointer.

So for arrays, I don't see a way to get to the structure itself. There is only a pointer to the array data itself.

Ok, one more idea came up though )

Wrap the array with a structure, then you can get to it. The additional memory consumption == 0.

And how do you get a pointer to a structure? I was about to do almost the same thing, but with one extra plus.

memcpy():)

MetaDriver:
memcpy() :)

OK, I'll have to try it tonight.

Because the links don't work, the files don't work ( . I've got to get something at least.

Structures with dynamic arrays cannot be passed in this way.
