python-2.7 - Python ctypes : How to pass NULL as argument with format const char **

Question

我正在尝试使用 ctypes 从 python 初始化 Matlab 编译器运行时 (MCR)。我的最终目标是能够在 python 中使用由 Matlab 编译器创建的 C DLL，但我需要克服的第一个障碍是启动并运行 MCR。

我使用的是 Python 2.7.8、Matlab 2013a、MCR8.1。

来自 mclbase.h 的 Snipit 以显示参数等

LIBMWMCLBASE_API_EXTERN_C bool mclInitializeApplication(const char** options, size_t count);

C 相当于我正在尝试做的

mclInitializeApplication(NULL,0)

这是我在 python 中调用函数的各种尝试。它们不可避免地导致类型错误或 Windows 错误 0xE06D7363。我破解不了!我是一个 python 新手，所以我可能遗漏了一些简单的东西。欢迎任何意见!

# Initialize the MATLAB Compiler Runtime global state
from ctypes import *

libmcr=cdll.mclmcrrt8_1

# Load mclbase library
mcr_dll = cdll.LoadLibrary('C:\\Program Files\\MATLAB\\MATLAB Compiler Runtime\\v81\\bin\\win64\\mclbase.dll')

# Pick function we want to use
mclInit=mcr_dll.mclInitializeApplication

# Set up argument and results types
mclInit.argtypes = [POINTER(POINTER(c_char)),c_size_t]
# mclInit.argtypes = [POINTER(c_char_p),c_size_t] #different formatting attempt
mclInit.restype = c_bool

a=None
acast=cast(a,POINTER(c_char_p))
acast1=cast(a,POINTER(c_char))
acast2=cast(a,POINTER(POINTER(c_char)))

print 'a='
print a
print 'acast='
print acast
print 'acast1='
print acast1
print ''

# Try calling the function with various argument types
try:
    b=mclInit(None,0)
except Exception as ex:
    print ex
    raw_input("Exception occurred. b=mclInit(None,0) didn't work. Press Enter to continue")
    print ''

try:
    b=mclInit(byref(acast),0)
except Exception as ex:
    print ex
    raw_input("b=mclInit(byref(acast),0) didn't work. Press Enter to continue")
    print ''

try:
    b=mclInit(acast,0)
except Exception as ex:
    print ex
    raw_input("b=mclInit(acast,0) didn't work. Press Enter to continue")
    print ''

try:
    b=mclInit(byref(acast1),0)
except Exception as ex:
    print ex
    raw_input("mclInit(byref(acast1) didn't work. Press Enter to continue")
    print ''

try:
    b=mclInit(acast1,0)
except Exception as ex:
    print ex
    raw_input("b=mclInit(acast1,0) didn't work. Press Enter to continue")
    print ''

try:
    b=mclInit(byref(acast2),0)
except Exception as ex:
    print ex
    raw_input("mclInit(byref(acast2) didn't work. Press Enter to continue")
    print ''

try:
    b=mclInit(acast2,0)
except Exception as ex:
    print ex
    raw_input("b=mclInit(acast2,0) didn't work. Press Enter to continue")
    print ''

raw_input("Reached the end!!!! Press enter to close")

结果我错过了给 mclmcrInitialize() 的电话。正如@eryksun 指出的那样。我现在可以调用函数(万岁!)但初始化不成功:(。所以有些进展，但仍有工作要做!这是代码，以防它对任何人有用。我多次调用 mclIsMCRInitialized() 和 mclGetLastErrorMessage() 在那里增加了一些东西，但可能会提供有用的调试信息。

from ctypes import *

libmcr=cdll.mclmcrrt8_1

# Load mclmcr library
mclmcr_dll = cdll.LoadLibrary('C:\\Program Files\\MATLAB\\MATLAB Compiler Runtime\\v81\\bin\\win64\\mclmcr.dll')
# Load mclbase library
mclbase_dll = cdll.LoadLibrary('C:\\Program Files\\MATLAB\\MATLAB Compiler Runtime\\v81\\bin\\win64\\mclbase.dll')

# Call mclmcrInitialize()
mclmcrInit = mclmcr_dll.mclmcrInitialize
mclmcrInit.argtypes = None
mclmcrInit.restypes = c_bool
a = mclmcrInit()
print "mclmcrInitialize returned "
print a

# call mclIsMCRInitialized()
mclIsMCRInit = mclbase_dll.mclIsMCRInitialized
mclIsMCRInit.argtypes = None
mclIsMCRInit.restype = c_bool
b = mclIsMCRInit()
print "mclIsMCRInitialized = "
print b

# Call mclGetLastErrorMessage()
mclGetLastErrMsg = mclbase_dll.mclGetLastErrorMessage
mclGetLastErrMsg.argtypes = None
mclGetLastErrMsg.restypes = c_char_p
err = mclGetLastErrMsg()
print "mcl last error returns "
print err

# call mclInitializeApplication(NULL,0)
mclInit = mclbase_dll.mclInitializeApplication
mclInit.argtypes = [POINTER(c_char_p),c_size_t] 
mclInit.restype = c_bool
b = mclInit(None,0)
print "mclInitializeApplication returned "
print b


# call mclIsMCRInitialized()
mclIsMCRInit = mclbase_dll.mclIsMCRInitialized
mclIsMCRInit.argtypes = None
mclIsMCRInit.restype = c_bool
b = mclIsMCRInit()
print "mclIsMCRInitialized = "
print b

# Call mclGetLastErrorMessage()
mclGetLastErrMsg = mclbase_dll.mclGetLastErrorMessage
mclGetLastErrMsg.argtypes = None
mclGetLastErrMsg.restypes = c_char_p
err = mclGetLastErrMsg()
print "mcl last error returns "
print err

# Call mclTerminateApplication()
mclTerminate = mclbase_dll.mclTerminateApplication
mclTerminate.argtypes = None
mclTerminate.restype = c_bool
f = mclTerminate()
print "mclTerminateApp returned "
print f

这是python的输出:

mclmcrInitialize returned
-2147483647
mclIsMCRInitialized =
False
mcl last error returns
124384774
mclInitializeApplication returned
False
mclIsMCRInitialized =
False
mcl last error returns
128050512
mclTerminateApp returned
True

我是应@Krcevina 的请求发布此信息的。不幸的是，由于 PC 上的空间限制，我不得不卸载 MCR，因此今天无法对此进行测试，但我认为此代码应该具有合理的功能和稳定性。我试图在评论中发布它，但它似乎不允许大代码片段，所以我创建了这个答案。它只是初始化和终止 MCR 和我自己的 DLL。显然，您需要更改路径名称等以匹配您自己的情况。我还没有从 DLL 中调用函数或将变量传递给所述函数，但希望这对您有用。

这就是我对这个问题的了解。 Matlab R2014b 上的新 python 引擎意味着我不需要再进一步了。
