Passing pointer parameters to a C++ function call from a pythin script

BB
I am calling my C++ function (in a DLL) from a python script as
follows:
_dllcall('add', 'll','l',(var1, var2))

This works fine if the 2 parameters accepted by the function are
normal "long" type.

If the function expects a pointer type parameter then the same way of
passing the parameter doesn't work. For example if the C++ function
expects a "long *" and I am calling it as:
_dllcall('multi ply','l','l',(v ar1))

then in this case it fails.

Can anybody point out what could be the culprit :-)

What I understood from some python documention that I saw was that
python internally treats all parameters as passed by reference.

I have an object that's passed in to a function as a parameter i.e public boolean getProjectTitle(ProjectHeader_DTO obj) {...} If I then call a method on this object inside the function i.e obj.setTitle("test") then using obj.getTitle() from outside the function it displays the property set correctly! But doing something like this inside the function doesn't - ProjectHeader_DTO x = new ProjectHeader_DTO();

Does the following program exhibit undefined behavior? Specifically, does passing a struct by value cause undefined behavior if that struct has as a member a pointer that has been passed to free()? #include <stdlib.h> struct stype { int *foo; };

Hi, I have an unmanaged application that converts a function pointer to a delegate and then pass this as a parameter(delegate) to a managed function which then invokes it. Currently Im able to jump to this unmanaged function, but the values of the parameters inside this function Im seeing are not correct(they have some garbage values). //unmanaged class (C++ application)

Hi, In order to use an external api call that requires a function pointer I am currently creating static wrappers to call my objects functions. I want to re-jig this so I only need 1 static wrapper function. I would prefer to be able to pass the member function as a void* to the static wrapper but I suspect this may not even be possible. Another solution would be option 2 below but I can't figure out the syntax to call obj->*pFn(). ...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
