麻烦在jruby中使用java类

Question

I'm trying to use Java Opencl from within jruby, but am encountering a problem which I can't solve, even with much google searching.

require 'java'
require 'JOCL-0.1.7.jar'

platforms = org.jocl.cl_platform_id.new
puts platforms.class
org.jocl.CL.clGetPlatformIDs(1, platforms, nil)

when I run this code using: jruby test.rb I get the following error, when the last line is uncommented:

#<Class:0x10191777e>
TypeError: cannot convert instance of class org.jruby.java.proxies.ConcreteJavaP
roxy to class [Lorg.jocl.cl_platform_id;
  LukeTest at test.rb:29
    (root) at test.rb:4

Just wondering whether anyone has an idea on how to solve this problem?

EDIT: ok so I think I've solved the first part of this problem by making platforms an array:

platforms = org.jocl.cl_platform_id[1].new

but that led to this error when adding the next couple of lines:

context_properties = org.jocl.cl_context_properties.new()
context_properties.addProperty(org.jocl.CL::CL_CONTEXT_PLATFORM, platforms[0])

    from Main.java:164:in `run'

for some reason when I print the class of platforms[0] it's listed as NilClass!?

You are overlooking a very simple mistake. You write

platforms = org.jocl.cl_platform_id.new

but that line creates a single instance of the class org.jocl.cl_platform_id . You then pass that as the second parameter to org.jocl.CL.clGetPlatformIDs in

org.jocl.CL.clGetPlatformIDs(1, platforms, nil)

and that doesn't work, because the second argument of the method requires an (empty) array of org.jocl.cl_platform_id objects.

What the error says is: "I have something that is a proxy for a Java object and I can't turn it into an an array of org.jocl.cl_platform_id objects, as you are asking me to do.

If you just say

platforms = []

and pass that in, it might just work :).
