I have a C++ struct that looks like this:
struct unmanagedstruct
{
int flags;
union
{
int offset[6];
struct
{
float pos[3];
float q[4];
} posedesc;
} u;
};
And I'm trying to Marshal it like so in C#:
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit)]
public class managedstruct {
[FieldOffset(0)]
public int flags;
[FieldOffset(4), MarshalAsAttribute(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst = 6)]
public int[] offset;
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit)]
public struct posedesc {
[FieldOffset(0), MarshalAsAttribute(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst = 3)]
public float[] pos;
[FieldOffset(12), MarshalAsAttribute(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst = 4)]
public float[] q;
}
[FieldOffset(4)]
public posedesc pose;
}
However, when I try loading data into my struct only the first 3 elements of the offset array are there (the array's length is 3). I can confirm that their values are correct - but I still need the other 3 elements. Am I doing something obviously wrong?
I'm using these functions to load the struct:
private static IntPtr addOffset(IntPtr baseAddress, int byteOffset) {
switch (IntPtr.Size) {
case 4:
return new IntPtr(baseAddress.ToInt32() + byteOffset);
case 8:
return new IntPtr(baseAddress.ToInt64() + byteOffset);
default:
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}
public static T loadStructData<T>(byte[] data, int byteOffset) {
GCHandle pinnedData = GCHandle.Alloc(data, GCHandleType.Pinned);
T output = (T)Marshal.PtrToStructure(addOffset(pinnedData.AddrOfPinnedObject(), byteOffset), typeof(T));
pinnedData.Free();
return output;
}
Loading example:
managedstruct mystruct = loadStructData<managedstruct>(buffer, 9000);
Let me know if you need more information.
