[Liblas-devel] .net/mono bindings in c#

Hi all:

 

 

I am working in .net/mono bindings to liblas and i have something like
80% work done, but i have several problems:

 

-          I have created a successful mingw compilation without use
CAPI module. This module use a macro _MSC_VER in the las_config.h header

/* FIXME -  Ticket #23 */

#ifdef _MSC_VER

#define PACKAGE_VERSION "1.0.0b1"

#endif

-          CAPI use this macro only to return in a function.  I believe
in liblas purposes we could do something like this:

-          defined(__CYGWIN__) || defined(__MINGW32__) ||
defined(_MSC_VER)

- C++ API compile and works fine, but I am worried because I see the
macro in some other headers like bin endian/little endian module.

-          Anyway I am using your DLL for .NET, but it would be great
for me work with my DLL. Besides Mingw binaries are very useful for me
because almost all APIs I use in C/C++ are ready to mingw (gtk,gtkmm,
inscape, gimp, vala, ruby, etc, etc) . There many only 2 libraries I use
for VS like Mysql and postgree, but mingw have a DLL converter tool to
import them. .NET have the advantage to find entry point in mingw and vc
DLL in the same way.

-          I am working in Setters and getters in c# and I see some rare
things in the CAPI module. 

LAS_DLL uint8_t LASHeader_GetDataFormatId(const LASHeaderH hHeader);

-          LAS_DLL LASError LASHeader_SetDataFormatId(const LASHeaderH
hHeader, int value); 

-          Why do you have a kind of data to c++ to the getter and other
to the setter???. In c++ this is not a problem because the getters and
setter are visible, but in .NET not (only in compiled code). I saw like
3 functions like that. 

 

 

Regards.
