如何在python中通过C函数操作C类型指针返回?

这是“Testlib.c”中的C代码。我只是从C函数返回一个指向结构的指针。并且所有C代码都将编译为lib,以便由python调用。

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
typedef struct{
    int num;
    char c;
}aStruct;
aStruct* newStructPointer()
{
    aStruct* s = (aStruct*)malloc(sizeof(aStruct)) ;
    s->num = 3;
    s->c = 'f';
    return s;
}
int getNumField(aStruct* a)
{
    return a->num;
}
char getCharField(aStruct* a)
{
    return a->c;
}

这是Python代码。这很简单,调用newStructPointer来获取一个新结构,然后在其字段中获取数字值。

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- 
from ctypes import *
class testlib(object):
    def __init__(self):
        lib=cdll.LoadLibrary("libtestdylib.dylib")
        s=lib.newStructPointer()
        num=lib.getNumField(cast(s, c_void_p))

t=testlib()

然后,它崩溃,因为指针已经无效,这是崩溃报告:

我已经阅读了https://docs.python.org/2/library/ctypes.html中的python文档,但我发现没有任何帮助。我该如何解决?

您必须正确定义函数原型才能安全地调用函数:

# define your structure
class aStruct(ctypes.Structure):
    _fields_ = [('num', ctypes.c_int),
                ('c', ctypes.c_char]

# this defines aStructPtr to be a pointer
# to an aStruct
aStructPtr = ctypes.POINTER(aStruct)

# next, define the interface to your functions:
lib.newStructPointer.restype = aStructPtr
lib.newStructPointer.argtypes = [] # void, no arguments

# your getter functions both take the structure pointer as inputs
# and return an integer or char
lib.getNumField.restype = ctypes.c_int
lib.getNumField.argtypes = [aStructPtr]

lib.getCharField.restype = ctypes.c_char
lib.getCharField.argtypes = [aStructPtr]

请注意,通过在ctypes中正确声明结构,您不需要c getter函数。以下内容也应该有效:

s = lib.newStructPointer()
num_value = s.contents.num
char_value = s.contents.c
