Sorry, forgot to pass the pointer. Also here it says the layer count is zero

ccall((:GDALDatasetGetLayerCount, libgdal), Cint, (Ptr{Cvoid},), ds.ptr)
0

Right. But I do that I get another error that I’m not sure how to interpret. It 
comes from some Julia internal

ccall((:GDALGetRasterCount, libgdal), Cint, (Ptr{Cvoid},), ds)
Internal Error: MethodError: no method matching 
unsafe_convert(::Type{Ptr{Nothing}}, ::GMT.Gdal.IDataset)

Hi,

I’m afraid this one is not going to be easy, and I don’t know how much help I 
can provide to find the issue. The think is that 
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/12124 (which is a very big PR) broke my 
Julia wrapper.

For example, this used to write a png image but now it errors with

julia> gdalwrite("lixo.png", mat2img(UInt8.([1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9])))
ERROR 1: Cannot guess driver for lixo.png

But maybe more concrete is this failure where it tries to extract info from a 
gdal dataset (a pointer )


Gdal.GDALGetRasterYSize(dataset.ptr)
49
Gdal.GDALGetRasterCount(dataset.ptr)
1
Gdal.GDALDatasetGetLayerCount(dataset.ptr)
0

Here, first two are correct be the third is now wrong.

Why is GDALDatasetGetLayerCount() == 0 wrong on a raster dataset ? It looks 
like the expected result

If I'm looking at the correct source code 
https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/GMT.jl/blob/94649db2b48d3223c8b8628b6fac4d3df60b8938/src/gdal_utils.jl#L859
 , then this line is fragile. Rather than testing if OGRGetDriverByName() 
returns a non null pointer to guess if that dataset is raster or vector, you 
could indeed test GDALGetRasterCount() != 0 to infer this is a raster dataset.
