Andrew:
I don't understand why you're claiming pointer corruption ? I don't think so.
I'm not "trying different APIs". I actually need the next SmbiosRecord->Length
bytescopied into foo. Can you elaborate ? Is it because I'm using UINT8 instead
of EFI_SMBIOS_TYPE in GENERAL_INFORMATION ? Why does that make a differencewhen
in fact EFI_SMBIOS_TYPE is a UINT8 ? Or that I'm using UINT16 instead of
EFI_SMBIOS_HANDLE ? I could make those changes in my GENERAL_INFORMATIONstruct
but I don't see them making a difference. That said, I think I should use the
EFI typedefs in GENERAL_INFORMATION structinstead of UINT8/UINT16 in case the
underlying types might change in the future.

how that would makea difference but I'll try it.
Looks like pointer corruption to me. You really should assume your code is
broken 1st, and not start trying random other APIs. You may get lucky and leave
a time bomb for the developer that ends up having to maintain the code in the
future.
The code should be either:SmbiosRecord, SmbiosRecord->Length&SmbiosRecord,
SmbiosRecord.Lenght
or
Just use:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/IndustryStandard/SmBios.h
as it defined SMBIOS_STRUCTURE_POINTER.
All the spec based data structures already have types, that have been tested.
Thanks,

Thank You ! You are right. My pointer was incorrect and your correction fixed
it Aaron. Next question. I'm trying to use CopyMem.Can I do something like this
? It's not working right. Type, Length and Handle in my custom struct are
exactly the same types as in (from Smbios.h)
You are probably corrupting the stack with a buffer overflow on foo.
CopyMem ((VOID *)&foo, (VOID *)&SmbiosRecord, MIN (SmbiosRecord->Length, sizeof
(GENERAL_INFORMATION));
EFI_SMBIOS_TABLE_HEADER.Length is the length of the entire SMBIOS structure,
not the header. If you just want the header it would we be sizeof
(EFI_SMBIOS_TABLE_HEADER).
Sp just standard C bugs.
Thanks,

typedef struct { EFI_SMBIOS_TYPE Type; UINT8 Length;

Print(L"Sizeof SmbiosRecord :%d\n", sizeof(SmbiosRecord));

return EFI_SUCCESS;
Please see my code below.
If you’ll notice, I’m passing
In EFI_SMBIOS_HANDLEInSmbiosHandle = 0xFFFE; EFI_SMBIOS_TYPE Type=160;
Which is as the header file “Smbios.h”and the protocol implementation
“SmbiosDxe.c”
Instruct. According to my understanding,GetNext should return the address of the
First table whose Type=160. I used SmbiosView.efiand saw that indeed such a
table
with Type=160 is present. I tried other validTypes too, though and the result
is the same.
What I expect to be returned is the EFI_STATUSof “Success” and the correct
Address for the SmbiosRecord with type=160.I’m getting neither. I’m getting an
EFI_STATUS
Code of 0xB58FBD02. At the very least, Iwould expect EFI_NOT_FOUND. According
To the protocol, this weird 0xB58FBD02 shouldnot be returned for EFI_STATUS.
I did search archives however, and it seemsthat others have had problems with
Smbios GetNext,
With no resolution that I saw.
The following two paths are the Smbios Protocolimplementation in the latest
EDK2 repo:
C:\edk2\MyWorkspace\MdeModulePkg\Universal\SmbiosDxe\SmbiosDxe.c
C:\edk2\MyWorkspace\MdeModulePkg\Universal\SmbiosDxe\Smbios.h
There is also a shell tool
C:\edk2\MyWorkspace\ShellPkg\Library\UefiShellDebug1CommandsLib\Sm
biosView which does not use the Smbios protocolat all. It seems to use a
backdoor approach of
internal data structures. I wonder why ?Is this because the Smbios protocol
doesn’t work ?
We would like to use the Smbios Protocolbecause it’s simple and provides what
we need.
We would like to avoid the backdoor approachembraced by Smbiosview if possible.
Can someone comment on my issue ? Am I usingGetNext incorrectly ?
