如何通过Python和ctype

我必须将python与外部库集成。不幸的是,C代码使用全局变量SimpleTest_Y(结构),我需要访问它才能修改值。

这里有C代码

SimpleTest.c文件

#include "SimpleTest.h"

/* External inputs (root inport signals with auto storage) */
ExtU_SimpleTest_T SimpleTest_U;

/* External outputs (root outports fed by signals with auto storage) */
ExtY_SimpleTest_T SimpleTest_Y;


/* Model initialize function */
void SimpleTest_initialize(void)
{
  /* external outputs */
  SimpleTest_Y.Out1 = 3.0;
}

SimpleTest.h文件

#ifndef SimpleTest_COMMON_INCLUDES_
# define SimpleTest_COMMON_INCLUDES_
#include <stddef.h>
#include <string.h>
#endif                                 

/* External inputs (root inport signals with auto storage) */
typedef struct {
  double In1;                          /* '<Root>/In1' */
  double In2;                          /* '<Root>/In2' */
} ExtU_SimpleTest_T;

/* External outputs (root outports fed by signals with auto storage) */
typedef struct {
  double Out1;                         /* '<Root>/Out1' */
} ExtY_SimpleTest_T;


/* External inputs (root inport signals with auto storage) */
extern ExtU_SimpleTest_T SimpleTest_U;

/* External outputs (root outports fed by signals with auto storage) */
extern ExtY_SimpleTest_T SimpleTest_Y;

/* Model entry point functions */
extern void SimpleTest_initialize(void);

python wrapper

import ctypes

class Inp(ctypes.Structure):
   _fields_ = [('In1', ctypes.c_float),
               ('In2', ctypes.c_float)]

class Out(ctypes.Structure):
   _fields_ = [('Out1', ctypes.c_float)]               


myLib = ctypes.CDLL('./SimpleTest.so')

#Initialize
SimpleTest_initialize = myLib.SimpleTest_initialize
SimpleTest_initialize()



#Output
SimpleTest_Y = myLib.SimpleTest_Y
SimpleTest_Y.restype = ctypes.POINTER(Out)

#print type(SimpleTest_Y)
print SimpleTest_Y.Out1

初始化方法的python调用有效,但是当我尝试访问SimpleTest_Y.Out1时,我收到以下错误:

print SimpleTest_Y.Out1
  

AttributeError:'_ FilePtr'对象没有属性'Out1'

我想我无法访问外部C库中定义的全局变量...

注意:这是一个不正常的结构

您需要使用in_dll方法来访问全局变量。

这有效:

import ctypes

class Inp(ctypes.Structure):
   _fields_ = [('In1', ctypes.c_float),
               ('In2', ctypes.c_float)]

class Out(ctypes.Structure):
   _fields_ = [('Out1', ctypes.c_float)]

myLib = ctypes.CDLL('./SimpleTest.so')

SimpleTest_initialize = myLib.SimpleTest_initialize
SimpleTest_initialize()

SimpleTest_Y = Out.in_dll(myLib, 'SimpleTest_Y')

print SimpleTest_Y.Out1
