Hello,
I have a nasty problem using native call interface. I get an array of
bytes from a call representing a pixel buffer. I am storing it in a
CArray[byte]. Golfing it down it comes to the following (REPL)
> use NativeCall
> my CArray[byte] $ba .= new( 255, 254, 3, 4);
NativeCall::Types::CArray[byte].new
> $ba[0].WHAT
(Int)
> $ba[0..*-1]
(-1 -2 3 4)
This means (for me) that there is an implicit type conversion from
unsigned to signed integer and it is not possible to use positive
numbers only, afterwards.
Regards,
Marcel
