Hi There

I'm trying to pass arrays from angelscript to C - and having a few problems

The problems being it doesn't work at all - doesn't fill the vec array - and probably will eventually crash - I can't really tell what is going - because the C code is compiled at run time and my shabby system has no really debugging at the moment.

here's my C code:

typedef struct
{
int maxElements;
int numElements;
unsigned char  data[1];
}  SArrayBuffer;


typedef struct
{
int       refCount;
_Bool      gcFlag;
void*     objType;
SArrayBuffer*     buffer;
int       elementSize;
int       subTypeId;
} ASarray;

void Init(void)
{
Debug("TCC init called");
//asRegisterGlobalFunction("float TestFunk(float)",TestFunk);
//asRegisterGlobalFunction("vec3 vectest(vec3)",vectest);
//asRegisterGlobalFunction("vec3 vecpointer(const vec3 &in)",vecpointer);
asRegisterGlobalFunction("void vecfill(vec3[]@,int)",vecfill);
}

void vecfill(ASarray *a,int l)
{
vec3* v=(vec3*)a->buffer->data;


for (int a=0;a<l;a++)
{
v[a].x=counter++;
v[a].y=counter++;
v[a].z=counter++;
}
}

here's my angelscript code

array<vec3> TestArray(50);


vecfill(TestArray,2);

I am doing it this way because 1) I want to be able to pass arrays anonymously without having to define a specific class or struct

2) I'm using TCC so the C code is compile at runtime - it's actually called from angelscript:

ExecuteTCC("./NewDir2/Test.c","Init");

I realise this is probably as dodgy as hell - but it's not a commercial thing, pure R&D - so I just hope it is possible.

thanks!

What exactly are the problems you're having here?

Thanks Andreas - I thought it might be something like the vptr - but assumed the lack any inheritance would nuke it :) I will try it later on today - I really hope it works - because

having that anonymity saves me a fair bit of typing and fits with my reckless R&D code style :)
