Help with ADA and C function pointers.

Help with ADA and C function pointers.

[Wendell P Beckwith]

I have an ada main procedure which needs to pass the address of an ada
function to a C funciton.  Using gnat 3.05 the following compiles and
generates an executable, but it cores when you run it.  I knew it would
because no where am I assigning a function to be passed.  That is what
I'd like to know how to do.  Please respond to my work email, since I'm
not in this group alot.  Thanks!!

-- my test main
with Text_IO, Interfaces.C; 
use Text_IO;

Procedure Gmain is

	Function func(d : in Integer) return Integer is
	Begin
		return (2 * d);
	End;
	type func_type is access Function(d : in Integer) return Integer;
	funcptr : func_type;
	
	Procedure Stuff(f : in func_type);
	pragma Import(C, Stuff, "stuff");
	
Begin
	Stuff(funcptr);
End;

-- my test C function using the ada callback
#include <stdio.h>

void stuff(int (*function)(int))
{
	printf("Value = %d\n", (*function)(10));
}

How about the 'address attribute?

Try:

	Stuff (Func'access);

You don't actually need the funcptr variable.

there is a problem, funcptr is still equal to NULL
I will try Stuff(func'adress) and you don't need funcptr.
Hope it will help.
