InputStream vs void pointer

843829Mar 22 2005 — edited Sep 11 2010
Hi All,

In my C program I have one void pointer. I want to send this void pointer to my Java program as InputStream. Is it possible?

Thanks,

Sure it is. You need a bit of JNI stuff to pass that void* back to Java as a byte[];
given that array just use a ByteArrayInputStream.

kind regards,

Do you have any C++ source code as example?

void *pointer = ...;
return (jbyte*)pointer;

Original (old) question makes no sense.

It is pointless to put a generic void pointer onto a stream.
If one ones to put the data that it point to on a stream then one would need to write code to do that.
