may be a little early to stash away that x64 vm..
I ran into a problem with
( ['out'], POINTER(POINTER(c_ubyte)), 'bytes' ),
methods the other day when implementing an event handler. It very much
seems like the pointer is not returned correctly.
The return value is set with
ubyte_arg = (c_ubyte * length)()
ubyte_p = cast(ubyte_arg, POINTER(c_ubyte))
for high-level i just return the ubyte_p, for low level i set
ppbArg[0] = ubyte_p
The process crashes on what seems to be a memory read error on Vista
x64. -And of course it works flawlessly on 32 bit XP.
Anyway.. To give some good proof of bug I tried to implement
http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/comtypes/server.html
as a 64 bit server. The only change I did was
HRESULT MyMethod([in] INT a, [out] BYTE ** bytes, [out,
retval] INT *presult);
(ie. have a parameter that resembles my previous troubles).
compiled the idl with "midl /env amd64 /amd64 /x64" (and other
variants). It works perfectly, BUT produces a 32 bit com server!
when testing with cscript and this js code
"testobj = new ActiveXObject("TTTestTypeLib.MyObject")"
if fails with
c:\windows\system32\cscript (64bit)
but works with
c:\Windows\SysWOW64\cscript (32bit)
What did I miss?
