Re: [Mono-dev] GC precision

Thank you Miguel for the answer,

So does MONO_GC_PARAMS=stack-mark=precise give me TOTALLY precise
scanning?
The reasons i insist questioning are that the Release notes page of v_2.10
[1] says that it gives me only mostly precise fashion [though obviously
its effect could have changed since 2.10]; and in older documentation the
words precise and mostly precise seems to be used interchangeably.

Mono 2.10 is more than 3 years old.

Precise stack marking only became available a year after that.

[Mono-dev] mono_fntptr_to_delegate

2014-08-08 Thread Bruno Lauze
Hi, 

 

I am sure someone can help me out. At one point this code did work. I
changed something and/or I just reinstalled latest trunk and it broke.

I am trying to pass C delegate to C#. Everything is working C# is calling
back the method but the parameters seems to be invalid pointers.

The C delegate was returning the delegate object, and the parameters.

 

I did put mono_ftnptr_to_delegate to external removing MONO_INTERNAL and
placing it under MONO_API.

One could use Marshal.GetDelegateFromPointer with mono_runtime_invoke
(Adding that way too at the bottom.)

 

 

Consider the following code:

 

 

DelegateHelper.dll: MyClass.cs:

 

using System;

 

namespace DelegateHelper

{

public delegate bool TestDelegate(string arg1);

 

public class MyClass

{

public static bool Test(TestDelegate predicate)

{

return predicate(TEST);

}

}

}

 

 

main.c:

 

 

#include stdio.h

#include glib.h

#include mono/jit/jit.h

#include mono/metadata/object.h

#include mono/metadata/reflection.h

#include mono/metadata/assembly.h

#include mono/metadata/threads.h

#include mono/metadata/mono-config.h

 

MONO_API MonoDelegate*

mono_ftnptr_to_delegate (MonoClass *klass, gpointer ftn);

 

MonoBoolean testMethod(MonoObject *arg1, MonoObject *arg2)

{

printf(Calling delegate!);

MonoString *str = mono_object_to_string(arg2, NULL); //crash

return TRUE;

}

 

int main (int argc, char *argv[])

{

printf (Delegate Test!\n);

 

MonoDomain *domain = mono_jit_init_version(DelegateTest,
v4.0.30319);

mono_config_parse(NULL);

void *__parameters__[1];

MonoAssembly *ass = mono_assembly_open(DelegateHelper.dll, NULL);

MonoImage *image = mono_assembly_get_image(ass);

MonoClass *delegateClass = mono_class_from_name(image,
DelegateHelper, TestDelegate);

mono_class_init(delegateClass);

MonoClass *testClass = mono_class_from_name(image, DelegateHelper,
MyClass);

mono_class_init(testClass);

gpointer ptr = (gpointer)testMethod;

MonoDelegate *delegateObj = mono_ftnptr_to_delegate(delegateClass,
ptr); //Short way to call Marshal.GetDelegateFromFunctionPointer()

MonoMethod *testMethod = mono_class_get_method_from_name(testClass,
Test, 1);

__parameters__[0] = delegateObj;

MonoObject *result = mono_runtime_invoke(testMethod, NULL,
__parameters__, NULL);

return 0;

}

 

 

Result:

 

Delegate Test!

Calling delegate!

Re: [Mono-dev] mono_fntptr_to_delegate

2014-08-08 Thread Robert Jordan

Bruno,

Marshal.GetDelegateFromFunctionPointer() and mono_ftnptr_to_delegate
only work on functions with p/invoke-compatible signatures.

This means that you can't pass MonoObjects* to these functions.
You can only declare and pass p/invoke-compatible arguments.
There is also no *this* pointer available.

If you want a signature like this

MonoBoolean testMethod(MonoString *arg2)

then you must declare a C# helper for it:

namespace EmbeddingHelpers
{
class DelegateHelper
{
public static Funcstring, bool CreateDelegate()
{
return TestMethod;
}

[MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.InternalCall)]
static bool extern TestMethod(string arg);
}
}

C++:

MonoBoolean TestMethodInternal(MonoString* arg)
{
return TRUE;
}

mono_add_internal_call(EmbeddingHelpers.DelegateHelper::TestMethod);



The delegate can be finally obtained from the static method
EmbeddingHelpers.DelegateHelper.CreateDelegate();

There might be better/elegant ways to do this, but they all
need an InternalCall declaration. There is no other way to tell
mono to wrap a native function to support native (embedded mono)
calls.
