Hello!
I wanted to get the full contents of a character array stored in a
struct, i.e.
_fields_ = [...("array", c_char * 12)...]
however, ctypes seems to try to return struct.array as a Python string
rather than a character array, and stops as soon as it encounters a
null within the character array.
I ended up having to define a dummy struct
class dummystruct(Structure):
_fields_ = []
and declare array as:
("array", dummystruct)
then use string_at(byref(struct.array), 12).
Is this really the best way of doing it? Is there no better way to
work around ctypes 'guess what you want' behaviour?
Thanks in advance,
Rodrigo
