The first uses * default p/invoke marshaling and the second uses pinning of the arrays. * * Default marshaling approach * ---------------------------- * Array typemaps using default p/invoke marshaling. The data is copied to a separately * allocated buffer when passing over the managed-native boundary. * * There are separate typemaps for in, out and inout arrays to enable avoiding * unnecessary copying. * * Example usage: * * %include "arrays_csharp.i" * %apply int INPUT[] { int* sourceArray } * %apply int OUTPUT[] { int* targetArray } * void myArrayCopy( int* sourceArray, int* targetArray, int nitems ); * * %apply int INOUT[] { int* array1, int *array2 } * void myArraySwap( int* array1, int* array2, int nitems ); * * If handling large arrays you should consider using the pinning array typemaps * described next. * * Pinning approach * ---------------- * Array typemaps using pinning. These typemaps pin the managed array given * as parameter and pass a pointer to it to the c/c++ side. This is very * efficient as no copying is done (unlike in the default array marshaling), * but it makes garbage collection more difficult. When considering using * these typemaps, think carefully whether you have callbacks that may cause * the control to re-enter the managed side from within the call (and produce * garbage for the gc) or whether other threads may produce enough garbage to * trigger gc while the call is being executed. In those cases it may be * wiser to use the default marshaling typemaps. * * Please note that when using fixed arrays, you have to mark your corresponding * module class method unsafe using * %csmethodmodifiers "public unsafe" * (the visibility of the method is up to you). * * Example usage: * * %include "arrays_csharp.i" * %apply int FIXED[] { int* sourceArray, int *targetArray } * %csmethodmodifiers myArrayCopy "public unsafe"; * void myArrayCopy( int *sourceArray, int* targetArray, int nitems ); * * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ %define CSHARP_ARRAYS( CTYPE, CSTYPE ) // input only arrays %typemap(ctype) CTYPE INPUT[] "CTYPE*" %typemap(cstype) CTYPE INPUT[] "CSTYPE[]" %typemap(imtype, inattributes="[In, MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray)]") CTYPE INPUT[] "CSTYPE[]" %typemap(csin) CTYPE INPUT[] "$csinput" %typemap(in) CTYPE INPUT[] "$1 = $input;" %typemap(freearg) CTYPE INPUT[] "" %typemap(argout) CTYPE INPUT[] "" // output only arrays %typemap(ctype) CTYPE OUTPUT[] "CTYPE*" %typemap(cstype) CTYPE OUTPUT[] "CSTYPE[]" %typemap(imtype, inattributes="[Out, MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray)]") CTYPE OUTPUT[] "CSTYPE[]" %typemap(csin) CTYPE OUTPUT[] "$csinput" %typemap(in) CTYPE OUTPUT[] "$1 = $input;" %typemap(freearg) CTYPE OUTPUT[] "" %typemap(argout) CTYPE OUTPUT[] "" // inout arrays %typemap(ctype) CTYPE INOUT[] "CTYPE*" %typemap(cstype) CTYPE INOUT[] "CSTYPE[]" %typemap(imtype, inattributes="[In, Out, MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray)]") CTYPE INOUT[] "CSTYPE[]" %typemap(csin) CTYPE INOUT[] "$csinput" %typemap(in) CTYPE INOUT[] "$1 = $input;" %typemap(freearg) CTYPE INOUT[] "" %typemap(argout) CTYPE INOUT[] "" %enddef // CSHARP_ARRAYS CSHARP_ARRAYS(signed char, sbyte) CSHARP_ARRAYS(unsigned char, byte) CSHARP_ARRAYS(short, short) CSHARP_ARRAYS(unsigned short, ushort) CSHARP_ARRAYS(int, int) CSHARP_ARRAYS(unsigned int, uint) // FIXME - on Unix 64 bit, long is 8 bytes but is 4 bytes on Windows 64 bit. // How can this be handled sensibly? // See e.g. http://www.xml.com/ldd/chapter/book/ch10.html CSHARP_ARRAYS(long, int) CSHARP_ARRAYS(unsigned long, uint) CSHARP_ARRAYS(long long, long) CSHARP_ARRAYS(unsigned long long, ulong) CSHARP_ARRAYS(float, float) CSHARP_ARRAYS(double, double) %define CSHARP_ARRAYS_FIXED( CTYPE, CSTYPE ) %typemap(ctype) CTYPE FIXED[] "CTYPE*" %typemap(imtype) CTYPE FIXED[] "IntPtr" %typemap(cstype) CTYPE FIXED[] "CSTYPE[]" %typemap(csin, pre= " fixed ( CSTYPE* swig_ptrTo_$csinput = $csinput ) {", terminator=" }") CTYPE FIXED[] "(IntPtr)swig_ptrTo_$csinput" %typemap(in) CTYPE FIXED[] "$1 = $input;" %typemap(freearg) CTYPE FIXED[] "" %typemap(argout) CTYPE FIXED[] "" %enddef // CSHARP_ARRAYS_FIXED CSHARP_ARRAYS_FIXED(signed char, sbyte) CSHARP_ARRAYS_FIXED(unsigned char, byte) CSHARP_ARRAYS_FIXED(short, short) CSHARP_ARRAYS_FIXED(unsigned short, ushort) CSHARP_ARRAYS_FIXED(int, int) CSHARP_ARRAYS_FIXED(unsigned int, uint) CSHARP_ARRAYS_FIXED(long, int) CSHARP_ARRAYS_FIXED(unsigned long, uint) CSHARP_ARRAYS_FIXED(long long, long) CSHARP_ARRAYS_FIXED(unsigned long long, ulong) CSHARP_ARRAYS_FIXED(float, float) CSHARP_ARRAYS_FIXED(double, double)
