Hi

Another week, another run. =)

Yeah, the C# was quite readable. Used depends to verify what i read in C#
before. Thanx for the hint. I love depends out of the box.

Sorry, I didn't get that. It sounds to me that the struct definition must be
exported to dll aswell. Which infact depends shows its not. But with my poor knowledge of
things going on really way down I guess I just missed the point.

With a huge effort I managed to write a VC++ dll that exactly does like you suggested. Calling that dll from C# and VC itself returns the expected values. With JNA I get a Access Violation, with Native.setProtected(true) I get an Invalid memory access at at com.sun.jna.Pointer._getShort(). Changing the JNA definition to return an int instead of the structure returns an int consisting of the right values. I will have to verify this behaviour with the real dll still, but it looks promising and shows off the troubles I encountered quite well.

Can you verify JNA accordingly and report any bug to libffi?

Not sure on why it is behaving differently. I am still using the PointerByReference instead of byte[] for string buffers. Gonna remove that and check it once more.
