Memcpy Equivalent?


Recommended Posts

From memory, basically these. Though not quite, because the write part appears to want a Cstring, and thus stumbles on zeros in the data. I think the most frequent case I had to deal with was that of a library returning the buffer to a filled pointer, which I only had to read.

@ensegre I can't get the snippet to work. @drjdpowell when i run this method i keep getting an issue with the ui locking up. 

I tried moving it to any thread. But it still only copies the string one time.

 

Im attempting named shared memory. (attached file) 
I'm questioning calling the LabVIEW.exe from the LabVIEW.exe (should be ok right).

Yeah, https://forums.ni.com/t5/Developer-Center-Resources/Dereferencing-Pointers-from-C-C-DLLs-in-LabVIEW/ta-p/3522795?profile.language=en. Still I miss at the moment how to write in memory without writing a wrapper.

Btw IMAQ has also https://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370281AG-01/imaqvision/imaq_mempeek/, but again only for reading.

[in linux, we're talking of /usr/local/natinst/LabVIEW-XX/resource/libmgcore.* I guess]

Use "LabVIEW" (without quotes and case is important) as Library Name in the Call Library Node. LabVIEW recognizes this as referring to the current kernel that runs. Once you built an executable their is no LabVIEW.exe anymore but instead a lvrtdll.dll that exports these functions and in fact that is only a forward to the real mgcore_xx.dll since many versions.
