I am trying to load a Fortran dll dynamically and pass a string back from fortran to C#. Everything looks fine when inside the fortran code, but when returning to C# the value of the string is lost. Instead the initial value, set in C#, is back. I have tried to use the 'ref' keyword to get the string to be passed by reference, but then I get error like below. What am I doing wrong?
The runtime has encountered a fatal error. The address of the error was at 0x709ce248, on thread 0x2ac4. The error code is 0xc0000005. This error may be a bug in the CLR or in the unsafe or non-verifiable portions of user code. Common sources of this bug include user marshaling errors for COM-interop or PInvoke, which may corrupt the stack.
Fortran code:
module FortLibInterface
implicit none
integer, parameter :: STR_LENGTH = 256
contains
subroutine GetString(Str)
!DIR$ ATTRIBUTES DLLEXPORT::GetString
!DIR$ ATTRIBUTES ALIAS: 'GetString' :: GetString
!DIR$ ATTRIBUTES REFERENCE:: Str
character(len=STR_LENGTH), intent(inout) :: Str
Str = 'bcdef...'
end subroutine
end module
C# code:
using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace FortranCSTest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string dllPath = "C:\\Temp\\FortLib.dll";
FortLibTest lib = new FortLibTest(dllPath);
lib.MakeTestCall();
}
}
public class FortLibTest
{
public const int STR_LENGTH = 256;
public const string FortranFuncName = "GetString";
private string pathToDll = null;
[DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
private static extern IntPtr LoadLibrary(String DllName);
[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
private static extern IntPtr GetProcAddress(IntPtr hModule, string procedureName);
[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
private static extern bool FreeLibrary(IntPtr hModule);
public FortLibTest(string FullPathToDll)
{
pathToDll = FullPathToDll;
}
[UnmanagedFunctionPointer(CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
private delegate void TypeGetStrInfo(char[] str);
void GetStrInfo(char[] str)
{
IntPtr pDll = LoadLibrary(pathToDll);
if (pDll != IntPtr.Zero)
{
IntPtr pFunc = GetProcAddress(pDll, FortranFuncName);
if (pFunc != IntPtr.Zero)
{
TypeGetStrInfo func = (TypeGetStrInfo)Marshal.GetDelegateForFunctionPointer(pFunc, typeof(TypeGetStrInfo));
func(str);
}
else
{
//Something
}
FreeLibrary(pDll);
}
else
{
//Something
}
}
public void MakeTestCall()
{
char[] str = new char[STR_LENGTH];
str[0] = 'a';
GetStrInfo(str);
}
}
}
For future reference. I added [In, Out] and everything works.
[DllImport(_dllName, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
public static extern void GetString([In, Out] char[] str);
