Re: [Swig-user] pointer to pointer problem

Murthy,

Try returning the pointer in return variable.  That's what worked for
me.

Subject: [Swig-user] pointer to pointer problem

 

Hi all,
   I have to generate perl interface for a C function that takes a
reference pointer (pointer to pointer) to a structure as an argument and
returns the malloced structure into this argument back. I have trouble
to generate perl interface using swig. Please tell me how to do this. I
give the C code below.

int init_struct (struct mystruct **st){
    struct mystruct ms = malloc(sizeof(struct mystruct));
    ms->number = 1;
    ms->name = "murthy";
    *st = ms;
    return 1;
}

thanks
murthy
