I am trying to pass an array of ints from C# to C++/CLI. Here's my code:
// SafeArrayTesting_PlusPlus.cpp
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <comdef.h>
using namespace System;
namespace SafeArrayTesting_PlusPlus
{
public ref class MyCppClass
{
public:
MyCppClass();
~MyCppClass();
void SetMyInts(array<int>^ myInts);
};
MyCppClass::MyCppClass(){}
MyCppClass::~MyCppClass(){}
void MyCppClass::SetMyInts(array<int>^ myInts)
{
// Create safearray
SAFEARRAY *safeArrayPointer;
SAFEARRAYBOUND arrayDim[1]; // one dimensional array
arrayDim[0].lLbound= 0;
arrayDim[0].cElements= myInts->Length;
safeArrayPointer = SafeArrayCreate(VT_UNKNOWN,1,arrayDim);
// copy ints to safearray
for (long lo= 0; lo < myInts->Length; lo++)
{
cli::pin_ptr<int> pinnedIntPointer = &(myInts[lo]);
SafeArrayPutElement(
safeArrayPointer,
&lo,
static_cast<void*> (pinnedIntPointer)); // line XX
}
// do something with the safearray here
}
}
// SafeArrayTesting_Main.cs
using SafeArrayTesting_PlusPlus;
namespace SafeArrayTesting_Main
{
class SafeArrayTesting_Main
{
static void Main()
{
var myCppClass = new MyCppClass();
myCppClass.SetMyInts(new[]{42});
}
}
}
When I run this, line XX throws the following exception:
System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
I have a feeling that I'm doing something basically wrong with the SafeArrayPutElement
method. Can you spot the error?
(By the way, I have asked a more complex variation of this question at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3464901/ . I think the difference is big enough to warrant two separate questions.)
