Help needed using dllcall containing struct ?


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to get page count of pdf files using qpdf.dll(open sourced).  QPDF is written in C++, but support some C style API. 

Using qpdf in C: 

#include <qpdf/qpdf-c.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    char* infile = NULL;
    char* password = NULL;
    char* outfile = NULL;
    qpdf_data qpdf = qpdf_init();
 

    if (((qpdf_read(qpdf, infile, password) & QPDF_ERRORS) == 0) ..........
 

qpdf_read definition: 

 ;/* Calling qpdf_read causes processFile to be called in the C++
 ;    * API.  Basic parsing is performed, but data from the file is
 ;    * only read as needed.  For files without passwords, pass a null
 ;    * pointer as the password.
 ;    */
 ;   QPDF_DLL
 ;   QPDF_ERROR_CODE qpdf_read(qpdf_data qpdf, char const* filename,
;                  char const* password);

 

My autoit code, of cource don't work. How to get it work? :

#Include <Array.au3>
#include <string.au3>

Global $hDLL = DllOpen("qpdf28.dll")
$sfilename="test.pdf"

If $hDLL = -1 then msgbox(0,"","dllOpen() error") ;-1=dllopen() error.


    ;/* Returns the version of the qpdf software */
    ;QPDF_DLL
    ;char const* qpdf_get_qpdf_version();
$qpdfversion = DllCall($hDLL, "STR*", "qpdf_get_qpdf_version")
If @error Then msgbox(0,"", "Dllcall qpdf_get_qpdf_version error. error code: "&@error)
msgbox(0,"qpdfversion",$qpdfversion[0]);Works


    ;typedef struct _qpdf_data* qpdf_data;
    ;typedef struct _qpdf_error* qpdf_error;
   ; /* Returns dynamically allocated qpdf_data pointer; must be freed
   ;  * by calling qpdf_cleanup.
   ;  */
   ; QPDF_DLL
   ; qpdf_data qpdf_init();
$qpdfhdl=DllCall($hDLL, "PTR", "qpdf_init") ;Since the returned type is qpdf_data, which is a qpdf_data pointer, can I use PTR? Or have create a struct? but how?
If @error Then msgbox(0,"", "Dllcall qpdf_init error. error code: "&@error)
msgbox(0,"qpfhdl",$qpdfhdl[0]) ;Seems works;

 ;   QPDF_DLL

$pdfopen = DllCall($hDLL, "INT:cdecl", "qpdf_read","PTR",$qpdfhdl[0],"STR*",$sfilename,"STR*",null) ;I don't know how to make this work.

;     */
;    QPDF_DLL
;    void qpdf_cleanup(qpdf_data* qpdf);
$qpdfcleanup = DllCall($hDLL, "NONE:cdecl", "qpdf_cleanup","PTR*",$qpdfhdl[0]); don't work and cause autoit crash.
If @error Then msgbox(0,"", "Dllcall pqdf_cleanup error. error code: "&@error)
msgbox(0,"pdfcleanup",$qpdfcleanup[0])

DllClose($hDLL)

After trial and error for hours, I managed to get it work, even I don't know why it works.
