如何在python3中使用ctypes void **指针

Question

我想通过其 DLL 连接光谱仪，其中一个功能定义为

UINT UAI_SpectrometerOpen(unsigned int dev, void** handle, unsigned int VID,  unsigned int PID)

来自文档，dev 是指定光谱仪的索引 handle is 返回光谱仪的句柄指针 VID 是提供指定的 VID PID 是提供指定的 PID dev, VID, PID 是已知的，但我不知道如何设置句柄。 我当前的代码是

import ctypes
otoDLL = ctypes.CDLL('UserApplication.dll')
spectrometerOpen = otoDLL.UAI_SpectrometerOpen
spectrometerOpen.argtypes = (ctypes.c_uint, ctypes.POINTER(c_void_p),
                         ctypes.c_uint, ctypes.c_uint)
spectrometerOpen.restypes = ctypes.c_uint
handle = ctypes.c_void_p
errorCode = spectrometerOpen(0, handle, 1592, 2732)

当我运行上面的代码时，我得到了错误

runfile('C:/Users/Steve/Documents/Python Scripts/otoDLL.py', wdir='C:/Users/Steve/Documents/Python Scripts')
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<ipython-input-1-73fe9922d732>", line 1, in <module>
    runfile('C:/Users/Steve/Documents/Python Scripts/otoDLL.py', wdir='C:/Users/Steve/Documents/Python Scripts')

  File "C:\Users\Steve\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\spyderlib\widgets\externalshell\sitecustomize.py", line 685, in runfile
    execfile(filename, namespace)

  File "C:\Users\Steve\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\spyderlib\widgets\externalshell\sitecustomize.py", line 85, in execfile
    exec(compile(open(filename, 'rb').read(), filename, 'exec'), namespace)

  File "C:/Users/Steve/Documents/Python Scripts/otoDLL.py", line 5, in <module>
    spectrometerOpen.argtypes = (ctypes.c_uint, ctypes.POINTER(c_void_p),

NameError: name 'c_void_p' is not defined

我不熟悉 ctypes 和 C，谁能帮我解决这个问题。 非常感谢。

根据你的错误输出：

  File "C:/Users/Steve/Documents/Python Scripts/otoDLL.py", line 5, in <module>
    spectrometerOpen.argtypes = (ctypes.c_uint, ctypes.POINTER(c_void_p),

您忘记将ctypes 放在c_void_p 之前，因此：

spectrometerOpen.argtypes = (ctypes.c_uint, ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_void_p),
                         ctypes.c_uint, ctypes.c_uint)

根据您的函数签名，句柄参数是指向void* 的指针，因此您需要像这样传递它：

import ctypes
otoDLL = ctypes.CDLL('UserApplication.dll')
spectrometerOpen = otoDLL.UAI_SpectrometerOpen
spectrometerOpen.argtypes = (ctypes.c_uint, ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_void_p),
                         ctypes.c_uint, ctypes.c_uint)
spectrometerOpen.restypes = ctypes.c_uint

# declare HANDLE type, which is a void*
HANDLE = ctypes.c_void_p

# example: declare an instance of HANDLE, set to NULL (0)
my_handle = HANDLE(0)

#pass the handle by reference (works like passing a void**)
errorCode = spectrometerOpen(0, ctypes.byref(my_handle), 1592, 2732)

注意：这只是一个示例，您应该查看spectrometerOpen 函数的文档，以查看它究竟在等待handle 参数的确切内容（它可以为NULL，它究竟是什么类型，等等。 )。
