python double(x)_返回C ++ double到Python？

So I am using python to call methods in a shared C++ library. I am having an issue returning a double from the C++ to the python. I have a created a toy example that exhibits the problem. Feel free to compile and try it out.

Here is the python code (soexample.py):

# Python imports

from ctypes import CDLL

import numpy as np

# Open shared CPP library:

cpplib=CDLL('./libsoexample.so')

cppobj = cpplib.CPPClass_py()

# Stuck on converting to short**?

x = cpplib.func_py(cppobj)

print 'x =', x

Here is the C++ (soexample.cpp):

#include

using namespace std;

class CPPClass

{

public:

CPPClass(){}

void func(double& x)

{

x = 1.0;

}

};

// For use with python:

extern "C" {

CPPClass* CPPClass_py(){ return new CPPClass(); }

double func_py(CPPClass* myClass)

{

double x;

myClass->func(x);

return x;

}

}

Compile with:

g++ -fPIC -Wall -Wextra -shared -o libsoexample.so soexample.cpp

When I run I get:

$ python soexample.py

x = 0

So the result is an integer in type and of value 0. What's going on?

I'm also curious about filling arrays by reference.

解决方案By default functions are assumed to return the C int type. Other

return types can be specified by setting the restype attribute of the

function object.

It works if you change your use of func_py to the following:

import ctypes

func_py = cpplib.func_py

func_py.restype = ctypes.c_double

x = func_py(cppobj)

print 'x =', x

While it will probably work for this simple case, you should also specify CPPClass_py.restype as well.
