Hi All,
This is driving me nuts!
Native Call question. I have a Pointer ($ppSessionInf).
It points to a structure of $pCount bytes.
How do I load what $ppSessionInf points to into $Sessions
# something gets assigned to it from an API call
my Pointer $ppSessionInf = Pointer.new();
# length of the data I want also from the API call
my DWORD $pCount; # length of the data I want
# Buffer I want the data pointer to by
# $ppSessionInf loaded into
my BYTES $Sessions = CArray[BYTE].new( 0xFF xx $pCount );
$Sessions = $ppSessionInf.deref;
Which obviously does not work:
Internal error: unhandled target type
Many thanks,
-T
ppSessionInf = <NativeCall::Types::Pointer<5443017752000>>
pCount = <2>
