I use JNA to call ac function from java. The function writes a list of strings to user provided memory and its signature reads:
void c_getStrings(char *buf, size_t bufSize, char *strings[], size_t *stringsCount)
with the Java version:
public interface TestCaseDLL extends Library
{
int c_getStrings(byte[] buf, int bufSize, Memory strings, IntByReference stringCount);
}
public class TestCase
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
byte[] buf = new byte[100];
Memory strings = new Memory(Memory.SIZE * 10);
IntByReference stringCount = new IntByReference(10);
// c_getStrings() will write the strings continuously to 'buf' and
// additionally return a list of starting addresses through the
// 'strings' parameter (that is 'strings' point into 'buf').
// 'stringCount' holds the initial array size of 'strings' and will
// return the count of returned strings.
TestCaseDLL.INSTANCE.c_getStrings(buf, buf.length, strings, stringCount);
System.out.println(strings.getPointer(0).getString(0));
System.out.printf("%c\n", buf[0]); // how can this line change 'strings'?
System.out.println(strings.getPointer(0).getString(0));
for (byte b: buf) {
System.out.print((char) b);
}
System.out.println("");
for (byte b: buf) {
System.out.printf("%#x ", b);
}
System.out.println("");
}
}
Output

Hello world! Hallo Welt! Ciao a tutti!

I ran into the following problems:
buf[0]
changes the returned string. I have now clue what is happening here, since I am only reading its value. Is my type mapping broken or am I missing something fundamental?
Update
I now use use
void c_getStrings(Memory buf, int bufSize, String[] strings, IntByReference stringCount);
If I would redo it, I would split it into two functions as suggested by technomage:
void c_fill(char *buf, size_t bufSize);
void c_parseToStringArray(const char *buf, const char *strings[], size_t stringsSize);
First several technical points:
Memory
. If, however, you just need the resulting String
values and don't care about the pointers themselves, then byte[]
, NIO buffers, or Memory
will work, provided the third argument is of type String[]
. Pointer[]
or String[]
. You can also use Memory
, provided it's allocated big enough to hold as many pointer values as would be written. Then the larger questions:
String[]
third argument. If you're intending to manipulate stuff in the buffer, such changes won't be reflected in the "returned" strings.
