How do I pass a **void pointer to C function? I am getting a cgo argument has Go pointer to Go pointer

问题

package main

//
// void test(void** data) {
//     // 在这里执行一些操作...
// }
import "C"

import "unsafe"

func main() {
    var data *C.void
    cData := unsafe.Pointer(&data)
    C.test(cData)
}

上面是我尝试做的一个示例,但是我收到一个运行时错误,错误信息是"cgo argument has Go pointer to Go pointer"。我该如何解决这个问题?有什么想法吗?

英文:
package main

//
// void test(data **void) {
//     Do something here...
// }
import "C"

import "unsafe"

func main() {
    var data *C.void 
    cData := unsafe.Pointer(&data)
    C.test(cData)
}

Above is an example of what I am trying to do but I am receiving a run time error stating cgo argument has Go pointer to Go pointer. How do I resolve this issue? any ideas?

void* 在 Go 中的等价类型是 unsafe.Pointer,没有必要声明一个 *C.void 类型的值。你的示例中的错误不是关于一个指向 Go 指针的 Go 指针(这是一个运行时错误),你会得到一个 (variable of type unsafe.Pointer) as *unsafe.Pointer 的错误,这是无法编译的。使用错误中显示的类型:

func main() {
    var data unsafe.Pointer
    C.test(&data)
}
英文:

The Go equivalent of void* is an unsafe.Pointer, there's no reason to declare a value of *C.void. The error from your example is not about a Go pointer to a Go pointer (which is a runtime error), you will get an error of (variable of type unsafe.Pointer) as *unsafe.Pointer, which cannot compile. Use the type shown in the error:

func main() {
    var data unsafe.Pointer
    C.test(&data)
}

当你声明var data *C.void时,你是在说data是Go指针类型。Go中的所有指针都受垃圾回收的管理。

当将&data传递给unsafe.Pointer时,会创建另一个Go指针。这就是所谓的“Go指针到Go指针”。它的过程是&data -> data -> (void)

在这种情况下,垃圾回收器无法确定何时释放data是合适的,因为&data指针被传递给了C,C仍然可以通过它访问data

请参阅这篇文章了解有关将指针传递给C的更多信息。

除非关闭一些cgo检查(我不建议这样做),否则不可能实现这一点。

英文:

When you declare var data *C.void, you are saying that data are Go pointer type. All pointers in Go are subject of garbage collection.

When passing &data to unsafe.Pointer another Go pointer is created. Thats what the "Go pointer to Go pointer" means. It goes &data -> data -> (void).

In this case, garbage collector cannot decide when would be the right time to deallocate data, because &data pointer was passed to C, which can still reach data through it.

See this article about passing pointers to C.

It's not possible, unless you turn-off some of the cgo checks, which I would not recommend.
