使用ctypes将数组从Python传递到C ++,无法完全处理数组

我已经按照下面在tutorial中找到的方法,使用Point库编写了以下代码来修改我的自定义python类ctypeswrap_function只是易于使用的小帮手,因为这是来自较大项目的MWE。

在python端:

import ctypes
import numpy as np 
libc = ctypes.WinDLL(r'C:\Path\lib.dll')

def wrap_function(lib, funcname, restype, argtypes): 
    func = lib.__getattr__(funcname) 
    func.restype = restype 
    func.argtypes = argtypes 
    return func 

class Point(ctypes.Structure): 
    _fields_ = [('x', ctypes.c_int), ('xdata', ctypes.c_void_p)]

list_of_points = []                                #unused for now 
xdata = np.zeros((40000,), dtype=np.double)
a = Point(1,xdata.ctypes.data) 
b = Point(3,xdata.ctypes.data) 

change_data_for_point = wrap_function(libc,'change_data_for_point', None, [ctypes.POINTER(Point)])
change_data_for_point(a)

在C端:

---header: 

const int N = 40000;
typedef struct {
    double x; 
    double xdata[N];
} Point;

extern "C" LIB_API void change_data_for_point(Point* p);


---source:

void change_data_for_point(Point* p) {
    p->x++; 
    for (int i = 0; i < 40000; i++) {
        p->xdata[i] = 2.0*i;
        if (i % 1000 == 0) printf("xdata at index %d is %f\n", i, p->xdata[i]);
    }
}

在Windows 7 cmd中执行python文件时,它将输出以下输出:

xdata at index 0 is 0.000000
xdata at index 1000 is 2000.000000
 // ... some more ... 
xdata at index 17000 is 34000.000000
xdata at index 18000 is 36000.000000
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "test.py", line 40, in <module>

为什么它停在18.000?我尝试了几次,有时循环达到19或20k,但从来没有超过这个值。它与C端的数组初始化有关吗?我是否弄乱了在python端传递的参数?


奖金问题:如何使用ctypes将这些点的列表传递给C端?

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:1)

尽管 NumPy 增加了一个额外的复杂性级别,但是每条信息都可以在[Python 3]: ctypes - A foreign function library for Python上找到。

(主要)问题是 Point 结构在 C Python 中定义不同。
此外,该函数需要一个Point*,因此必须使用 byref (如果没有它,它也可以工作,我不知道这是否是 Undefined Behavior < / em>的情况很高兴,或者 ctypes 默默地做到了-由于 argtypes )。

我已对您的代码进行了修改以使其正常工作。

dll.c

#include <stdio.h>

#if defined(_WIN32)
#  define DLL_EXPORT __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#  define DLL_EXPORT
#endif


const int N = 40000;

typedef struct {
    double x;
    double xdata[N];
} Point;


#if defined(__cplusplus)
extern "C" {
#endif

    DLL_EXPORT void change_data_for_point(Point *p);

#if defined(__cplusplus)
}
#endif


void change_data_for_point(Point *p) {
    p->x++; 
    for (int i = 0; i < 40000; i++) {
        p->xdata[i] = 2.0 * i;
        if (i % 10000 == 9999)
            printf("xdata at index %d is %f\n", i, p->xdata[i]);
    }
}

code.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import sys
import ctypes
import numpy as np


DLL_NAME = "./dll.dll"

xdata_dim = 40000  # !!! Must match N (from C) !!!
DoubleArr = ctypes.c_double * xdata_dim

class Point(ctypes.Structure): 
    _fields_ = [
        ("x", ctypes.c_int),
        ("xdata", DoubleArr),
    ]


def wrap_function(lib, funcname, restype, argtypes):
    func = lib.__getattr__(funcname)
    func.restype = restype
    func.argtypes = argtypes
    return func


def main():
    dll = ctypes.CDLL(DLL_NAME)
    #xdata_dim = ctypes.c_int.in_dll(dll, "N")

    xdata = np.zeros((xdata_dim,), dtype=np.double)
    a = Point(1, DoubleArr.from_address(xdata.ctypes.data))
    b = Point(3, DoubleArr.from_address(xdata.ctypes.data))
    change_data_for_point = wrap_function(dll,"change_data_for_point", None, [ctypes.POINTER(Point)])
    change_data_for_point(ctypes.byref(a))
    print(a.xdata[30000])


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

输出

如果要处理 Point 的列表,则可以使用数组。像这样:

PointArr = Point * len(list_of_points)
point_arr = PointArr(*list_od_points)
