Hi @mashingan, @Stefan_Salewski
I find it impossible to allocate memory for array, as when I try to do
something like:
var p_arr = alloc(size_of(array[int, 3]))
I get a 'type expected' error.
Besides, if array is created on the stack then passing a pointer to it is
meaningless anyway. So I have tried with a sequence instead,
proc test_arr(): ptr seq[int] {.cdecl, exportc} =
var list = newSeq[int](3)
list[0] = 4
list[1] = 5
list[2] = 6
GC_ref(list) # mark it as referenced
return addr list
In theory, this should work: the sequence goes on the heap, I'm preventing it
from being swept by the GC and I'm returning a pointer to the client. But it
doesn't, I'm still getting rubbish numbers on the client side I have tried a
number of variations on this theme but no luck
Any suggestions / ideas will be very welcome
