what's difference betwen int ch vs char ch - char

why for in following function used 't' for int ch"?
ch is int, why use char?
Synopsis:
#include <stdio.h>
char *strrchr(char *string, int c);
Example:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
char *s;
char buf [] = "This is a testing";
s = strrchr (buf, 't');
if (s != NULL)
printf ("found a 't' at %s\n", s);
return 0;
}

Convert *_Ctype_float into float32 in Go

I am new to Go and having difficulty in converting the *_Ctype_float datatype into []float32. Is there something that I am missing? I even thought of converting *_Ctype_float into string but even that was not successful.
I have this C function named predictInstance which returns float*. I am calling this function from Go by
predictionValues := C.predictInstance(
handle,
(*C.float)(unsafe.Pointer(&req.FlatInput[0])),
)
Now when I look at the type of predictionValues it says it is *Ctype_float. Now I want to convert this into []float32
I have a C function which returns a float* array which I wish to convert to []float32. I am calling this
function from Go with a float* array argument.
A working example,
package main
/*
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <float.h>
float *reverse(float *f, int len) {
float *g = calloc(len, sizeof(float));
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
g[i] = f[len-1-i];
}
return g;
}
*/
import "C"
import (
"fmt"
"math"
"unsafe"
)
func main() {
a := []float32{3.14159, 2.718, 1}
r := make([]float32, len(a))
fmt.Println("a:", a, "r:", r)
c := C.reverse((*C.float)(&a[0]), C.int(len(a)))
copy(r, (*[1 << 20]float32)(unsafe.Pointer(c))[:])
C.free(unsafe.Pointer(c))
fmt.Println("a:", a, "r:", r)
}
var okCFloat = func() bool {
if C.sizeof_float != unsafe.Sizeof(float32(0)) {
panic("C float != Go float32")
}
if C.FLT_MAX != math.MaxFloat32 {
panic("C float != Go float32")
}
return true
}()
Output:
a: [3.14159 2.718 1] r: [0 0 0]
a: [3.14159 2.718 1] r: [1 2.718 3.14159]

How to create virtual interface in macOS?

I want to write a simple VPN for my device which can't set up VPN. in Linux I can create a tun interface to deal with this problem. But in macOS I could not find any tun interface in /dev/.
I find some software which implement this function create the utun2 interface, I don't know how to do it.Is there any good example?
I find two good link about this question.
OpenVPN and A node packe
So Here is how to create a uTun interface in macOS:

int open_tun_socket () {
struct sockaddr_ctl addr;
struct ctl_info info;
char ifname[20];
socklen_t ifname_len = sizeof(ifname);
int fd = -1;
int err = 0;
fd = socket (PF_SYSTEM, SOCK_DGRAM, SYSPROTO_CONTROL);
if (fd < 0) return fd;
bzero(&info, sizeof (info));
strncpy(info.ctl_name, UTUN_CONTROL_NAME, MAX_KCTL_NAME);
err = ioctl(fd, CTLIOCGINFO, &info);
if (err != 0) goto on_error;
addr.sc_len = sizeof(addr);
addr.sc_family = AF_SYSTEM;
addr.ss_sysaddr = AF_SYS_CONTROL;
addr.sc_id = info.ctl_id;
addr.sc_unit = 0;
err = connect(fd, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof (addr));
if (err != 0) goto on_error;
// TODO: forward ifname (we just expect it to be utun0 for now...)
err = getsockopt(fd, SYSPROTO_CONTROL, UTUN_OPT_IFNAME, ifname, &ifname_len);
if (err != 0) goto on_error;
printf("%s",ifname);
// There is to close the socket,But in this case I don't need it.
//err = fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK);

int main(){
int result = open_tun_socket();
while( true ){

printf("%d",result);

Runtime error with cgo and certain string slices

I have stripped back a problem I have come across whilst wrapping some C code to work with golang using swig but the problem doesn't rest with swig.
I can pass in a basic string slice but as soon as I construct the slice with anything other than basic strings, I get a panic: runtime error: cgo argument has Go pointer to Go pointer.
go version go1.8.5 linux/amd64
This is the sample code and its output
package main

typedef struct { char *p; int n; } _gostring_;

void prtText(char * const *txt, int len)
{
int i = 0;
for ( i=0; i<len; i++ ) {
printf("Text %d is: %s\n", i, txt[i]);
}
}
void _wrap_printText(_goslice_ _swig_go_0) {
_gostring_ *p;
char **arg1 = (char **)calloc(_swig_go_0.len, sizeof(char*));
if (arg1) {
for (int i=0; i<_swig_go_0.len; i++) {
p = &(((_gostring_*)_swig_go_0.array)[i]);
arg1[i] = calloc(1,(p->n)+1);
strncpy(arg1[i], p->p, p->n);
}
}

prtText((char *const *)arg1,arg2);

As you can see, the first string slice works fine but as soon as I do anything other than basic strings, it fails. I've tried making new strings first before appending them to the slice but the problem remains.
What am I doing wrong?
You're basically passing the raw Go pointers.
Instead, you should build C arrays yourself.
As a general rule, seeing unsafe pretty much anywhere should make you suspicious. It is rarely the right way around issues with cgo.
Using the helpers from Passing array of string as parameter from go to C function and using them in your code:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"reflect"
)
/*
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
void prtText(char * const *txt, int len)
{
int i = 0;
for ( i=0; i<len; i++ ) {
printf("Text %d is: %s\n", i, txt[i]);
}
}
static char**makeCharArray(int size) {
return calloc(sizeof(char*), size);
}
static void setArrayString(char **a, char *s, int n) {
a[n] = s;
}
static void freeCharArray(char **a, int size) {
int i;
for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
free(a[i]);
free(a);
}
*/
import "C"
func main() {
s := []string{}
s = append(s, "blah")
s = append(s, "hello")
s = append(s, "again")
ns := []string{}
ns = append(ns, "ns: "+s[0])
ns = append(ns, "ns: "+s[1])
ns = append(ns, "ns: "+s[2])
fmt.Println("type s:", reflect.TypeOf(s))
fmt.Println("type ns:", reflect.TypeOf(ns))
fmt.Println("s:", s)
fmt.Println("ns:", ns)
sargs := C.makeCharArray(C.int(len(s)))
defer C.freeCharArray(sargs, C.int(len(s)))
for i, p := range s {
C.setArrayString(sargs, C.CString(p), C.int(i))
}
nsargs := C.makeCharArray(C.int(len(ns)))
defer C.freeCharArray(nsargs, C.int(len(ns)))
for i, p := range ns {
C.setArrayString(nsargs, C.CString(p), C.int(i))
}
C.prtText(sargs, C.int(len(s)))
C.prtText(nsargs, C.int(len(ns)))
}
The output is now as expected:
$ ./main
type s: []string
type ns: []string
s: [blah hello again]
ns: [ns: blah ns: hello ns: again]
Text 0 is: blah
Text 1 is: hello
Text 2 is: again
Text 0 is: ns: blah
Text 1 is: ns: hello
Text 2 is: ns: again

Passing array of string as parameter from go to C function

I have one C function:
int cgroup_change_cgroup_path(const char * path, pid_t pid, const char *const controllers[])
I want to call it in go language by using cgo.
How to pass the third parameter as it accepts a C array of string.
You can build the arrays using c helper functions and then use them.
Here is a solution to the same problem:
// C helper functions:
static char**makeCharArray(int size) {
return calloc(sizeof(char*), size);
}
static void setArrayString(char **a, char *s, int n) {
a[n] = s;
}
static void freeCharArray(char **a, int size) {
int i;
for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
free(a[i]);
free(a);
}
// Build C array in Go from sargs []string
cargs := C.makeCharArray(C.int(len(sargs)))
defer C.freeCharArray(cargs, C.int(len(sargs)))
for i, s := range sargs {
C.setArrayString(cargs, C.CString(s), C.int(i))
}

Returning values through the arguments of go function, which is called from C

Suppose, we've got a Go function, which is doing something with agruments, passed to them, e.g. it could fill the buffer, allocated in the C part and changing it and for example an integer argument, which is a size of read data. It works well with an integer one, but not with a "data part". Just see a code.
package main
/*
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <inttypes.h>
extern int some(uint8_t *, int *);
static int somewrap() {
uint8_t *i = malloc(16);
int A = 1;
int *x = &A;
some(i, x);
fprintf(stderr, "c.wrapper, i=%s, %p, x=%d, %p\n", i, i, *x, x);
return 0;
}
*/
import "C"
import "fmt"
import (
"unsafe"
)
//export some
func some(i *C.uint8_t, x *C.int) C.int {
fmt.Println("i:", i, &i, *i, "x:", x, &x, *x)
p := []byte("xxx")
i = (*C.uint8_t)(unsafe.Pointer(&p[0]))
*x = C.int(42)
fmt.Println("i:", i, &i, *i, "x:", x, &x, *x)
return C.int(0)
}
func main() {
C.somewrap()
}
As a result, we've got following:
i: 0x4303a40 0xc210000018 0 x: 0x7fff5fbff874 0xc210000020 1
i: 0xc210000038 0xc210000018 120 x: 0x7fff5fbff874 0xc210000020 42
c.wrapper, i=, 0x4303a40, x=42, 0x7fff5fbff874
As you can see, it works well for integer pointer, but not for uint8_t.
You're re-assigning i within some to another address, not change the value at the given address (unless I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to accomplish)
*i = *(*C.uint8_t)(unsafe.Pointer(&p[0]))
