pointers - set c_char_p in Python -


in c header file have:

long test_api callandsave(        ___out_ char param1[31],      ___out_ char param2[5],      ___out_ char param3[21],      ___out_ char* pointerparam     );

i trying set , pass parameters in python , pass them callandsave:

import ctypes ctypes import * lib = cdll.loadlibrary('./testlib.so')  param1 = (ctypes.c_char*31)() param2 = (ctypes.c_char*5)() param3 = (ctypes.c_char*21)() pointerparam = ctypes.c_char_p()  lib.efttrx(param1,param2,param3,pointerparam)

but getting "output parameter null" error pointerparam. how should define "___out_ char* pointerparam" in python correctly?

___out_ char* pointerparam

the ___out_ in specification means pointer have data written it. must allocate buffer write to. ctypes.c_char_p() doesn't make buffer - it's null pointer.

look ctypes.create_string_buffer. must figure out how big of buffer callandsave expects.

css - SVG using textPath a symbol not rendering in Firefox -

using textpath within symbol doesn't render in firefox. renders fine in latest chrome , ie, when try reference symbol, svg text doesn't render in firefox (37.0.1) - first box appears empty. code below (no external dependencies), there should 2 boxes word test flowing vertically in centre of each. edit: thought issue somehow involved flexbox layout, until paul pointed out issue exists without flexbox layout. the html is: <div> <svg id="not_working" viewbox="0 0 250 1200" preserveaspectratio="xmidymid meet"> <symbol id="test_symbol1" preserveaspectratio="xmidymid meet" viewbox="0 0 250 1200"> <path id="test_symbol_path" d="m 100 1200 l 100 0" /> <text font-size="100" fill="red"> <textpath text-anchor="middle" startoffset="50%" xlink:href="#test_symbol_path...

datatable - Matlab struct computations -

i download data yahoo! finance with: data = getyahoodailydata({'msft', 'axp'},'01/01/2000', '01/01/2015', 'dd/mm/yyyy'); and data stored 1x1 struct. want create tx2 matrix of daily adjusted closing prices msft , axp, column 7 in each table in struct. how can that? or better : there way make computations directly on information/prices in struct? you can access data in struct name. vecmsftadj = data.msft.adjclose; vecaxpadj = data.axp.adjclose; % if want n x 2 matrix madjclose = [vecmsftadj, vecaxpadj]; % personnaly prefer working table tadjclose = table; tadjclose.msftadj = vecmsftadj; tadjclose.axpadj = vecaxpadj;
