Re: Returning arrays from DLMs to IDL

Hi everybody,
has anyone got suggestions on how to return arrays back from a
DLM(dynamic link module) into IDL using an IDL_VPTR pointer? Using a
template array in IDL before calling the DLM and pointing the data to
this array within the DLM results in the IDL message

'Array has a corrupted descriptor: TEMPLATE.'

Although the array's data would be correct, IDL halts execution.

Thanks in advance
Thomas


you have to create a temporary array (in the C code) and return it
as your function value.

the temporary arrays are built using the IDL_MakeTempArray function.

if I remember well, there could be an example about this on the IDL exetrnal
development guide.
