[swift-users] Still having trouble with C interop (passing buffers)

[Rick Mann via swift-users]

I'm trying to pass a Data of allocated size to a C function for it to fill in:


lib_example_call(_ params: UnsafePointer<lib_call_params_t>!, _ data: 
UnsafeMutableRawPointer!)

...
{
    self.dataBuffer = Data(capacity: BufferSizeConstant)

    var params = lib_call_params_t();
    params.data_capacity = BufferSizeConstant;

    self.dataBuffer?.withUnsafeMutableBytes
    { (inBuffer) -> Void in
        lib_example_call(&params, inBuffer)
    }
}

I later get called back by the library with a size value of the actual data it 
got. self.dataBuffer is a var. I set self.dataBuffer?.count = result size, 
which is a reasonable value.

Unfortunately, the resulting buffer is all zeros. The data generated by the 
call is definitely not all zero, and a C example program using the same library 
works correctly.

So, I think there's something wrong in the way I'm making the call.

Can anyone please enlighten me? Thanks!
