I have the the following type defined:
type Point
x::Cdouble
y::Cdouble
end
Calling sizeof returns 16 as expected. But when I have for example:
a = [Point(0.0, 0.0),Point(0.2,0.3),Point(1.1, 1.3)]
sizeof returns *24*. But I expected it to return 3 * 16 = *48*. (It looks
like in the array are stored pointers to Point objects not the objects)
My problem is that I need to convert Vector{Point} to Vector{Cdouble}. So i
tried:
tmp1 = pointer(a)
tmp2 = convert(Ptr{Cdouble}, tmp1)
points = pointer_to_array(tmp2, length(a) * 2, true)
But the output is not what I want it to be. It is an array of some random
values. Is there a way to make this work? All i need is basically to
convert Vector{Point} to Vector{Cdouble} without the need of creating a new
array.
