在Python中传递指向DLL函数的指针

我正在一个项目中,我必须使用python为开发板构建GUI,这也是我的新手。给我的DLL具有与开发板通信所需的功能。 我有LabVIEW等效函数原型,如下所示:

int32_t WriteFPGARegsC(int16_t *USBdev, int32_t *DUTSelect, int32_t *Array_RegsIn, int32_t *Array_RegsOut, int32_t *Array_RegEnable);

对于Visual Basic,相同的原型也看起来像这样:

Public Declare Function WriteFPGARegsC Lib "USB_IO_for_VB6.dll" (ByRef USBdev As Short, ByVal DUTSelect As Integer, ByRef Array_RegsIn As Integer, ByRef Array_RegsOut As Integer, ByRef Array_RegEnable As Integer) As Integer

由于很多问题,我试图使用python而不是LabVIEW访问此函数。

要传递给函数的最后三个参数必须是255个元素的数组的地址。

我不知道如何在python函数中传递指针!

我编写了以下短代码以在python中访问此功能:

USBdev = [0]
DUTSelect = [0]
RegsIn = [0] * 255
RegsOut = [0] * 255
RegEnable = [0] * 255

from ctypes import*

mydll = cdll.LoadLibrary("USB_IO_for_VB6.dll")
retmydll = mydll.WriteFPGARegsC(USBdev, DUTSelect, RegsIn, RegsOut, RegEnable)

执行此代码后,我收到以下错误消息:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\Kushal\ATLASS\Source_code\Atlass.py", line 12, in <module>
    retmydll = mydll.WriteFPGARegsC(id(USBdev), id(DUTSelect), id(RegsIn),    id(RegsOut), id(RegEnable))
ValueError: Procedure called with not enough arguments (20 bytes missing) or wrong calling convention

任何帮助将不胜感激!! 非常感谢!

正如[Python]: ctypes - A foreign function library for Python所述,有几件事要做,其中最重要的是为函数对象设置argtypesrestypeSO充满了类似的问题(我回答了其中的几个问题)。

无论如何,我准备了一个虚拟示例(不要介意错误倾向),这只是为了说明这种机制。

code.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <inttypes.h>

#define DIM 10  // Must be the SAME (well, or lower) than the constant defined in the Python code


__declspec(dllexport) int32_t __stdcall WriteFPGARegsC(int16_t *USBdev, int32_t *DUTSelect, int32_t *Array_RegsIn, int32_t *Array_RegsOut, int32_t *Array_RegEnable) {
    int32_t ret = 99;
    printf("From C:\n\t*USBdev: %d\n\t*DUTSelect: %d\n\tArray_RegsIn[0]: %d\n\tArray_RegsOut[0]: %d\n\tArray_RegEnable[0]: %d\n\n\tReturning: %d\n",
    *USBdev, *DUTSelect, Array_RegsIn[0], Array_RegsOut[0], Array_RegEnable[0], ret);
    for (int i = 0; i < DIM; i++) {
        Array_RegsOut[i] *= *DUTSelect;
    }
    return ret;
}

code.py

import sys
import ctypes


DIM = 10  # Should be 255, but for demo purposes keep it smaller
uint_arr = ctypes.c_uint * DIM
ushort_arr = ctypes.c_ushort * DIM
uint_p = ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_uint)
ushort_p = ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_ushort)


def main():
    dll = ctypes.WinDLL("USB_IO_for_VB6.dll")
    func = dll.WriteFPGARegsC
    func.argtypes = [ushort_p, uint_p, uint_p, uint_p, uint_p]
    func.restype = ctypes.c_uint

    usb_dev = ctypes.c_ushort(25)
    dut_select = ctypes.c_uint(2)
    regs_in = uint_arr(*range(20, 20 + DIM))
    regs_out = uint_arr(*range(30, 30 + DIM))
    reg_enable = uint_arr(*range(40, 40 + DIM))

    nth = 5
    print("Output register array: {:s}".format(" ".join(["{:d}".format(item) for item in regs_out])))
    print("\tIts {:d}th element: {:d}\n".format(nth, regs_out[nth]))

    ret = func(ctypes.byref(usb_dev), ctypes.byref(dut_select), regs_in, regs_out, reg_enable)
    print("\nFunction returned: {:d}".format(ret))
    print("Output register array: {:s}".format(" ".join(["{:d}".format(item) for item in regs_out])))
    print("\tIts {:d}th element: {:d}\n".format(nth, regs_out[nth]))


if __name__ == "__main__":
    print("Python {:s} on {:s}\n".format(sys.version, sys.platform))
    main()

    • 为清楚起见,可以将 ctypes 数组作为其他任何 Python 序列访问
