strings through frameworks

[exo]

This code was complied as a Mac framework and used in the attached vi.

#include "untitled.h"


int test(buf)

char *buf;
{
buf = calloc(100,sizeof(char));
strcpy(buf, "etewrewr");
return 0;
}

Any ideas why I can't get the string out of the Call Library Function?
Thanks

Does a framework in Mac means the equivalent of a DLL in Windows?

Can I run this in Windows?

[exo]

Yes, no.
And the answer is that if you define the string as char buf[500] instead of char *buf it works. have no idea why.

Exo,

Could you attach the framework or DLL file that you created from this code so that I can use it in LabVIEW. Thanks!

The framework didn't work because I configured it for a string variable when I should have configured it for an array of bytes. Just seeing char *buff can be misleading.

Thanks.
