http://stackoverflow.com/questions/145270/calling-c-c-from-python——建议使用ctypes，并提供了一个简单的例子

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7142169/pils-image-frombuffer-expected-data-length-when-using-ctypes-array——提供了HYRY直接使用c_ubyte进行处理的例子

import Image
from ctypes import c_ubyte, cast, POINTER

buf = (c_ubyte * 400)()
pbuf = cast(buf, POINTER(c_ubyte))
pbuf2 = cast(pbuf, POINTER(c_ubyte*400))

buf is an ubyte array, pbuf is a pointer to ubyte, pbuf2 is a pointer to ubyte[400]. img1 is created from buf directly, img2 is created from pubf2.contents.

一 传简单的指针：

具体步骤：

1. 新建mathBuf.cpp：

#include <iostream>
#include "subBuf.h"

extern "C"
{
    int addBuf(char* data, int num, char* outData);

    subBuf* subBuf_new(){ return new subBuf(); }
    int subBuf_sub(subBuf* subfuf, char* data, int num, char* outData){ subfuf->cursubBuf(data, num, outData); }
}

int addBuf(char* data, int num, char* outData)
{
    for (int i = ; i < num; ++i)
    {
        outData[i] = data[i] + ;
    }
    return num;
}

2. 新建subBuf.h：

#include <iostream>

class subBuf{
    public:
        subBuf(){}
        int cursubBuf(char* data, int num, char* outData)
        {
            for (int i = ; i < num; ++i)
            {
                outData[i] = data[i] - ;
            }
            return num;
        }
};

3. 终端中输入如下命令，生成libmathBuf.so：

g++ -std=c++ -shared -fPIC -o libmathBuf.so mathBuf.cpp

4. 新建test.py：

from ctypes import * # cdll, c_int
lib = cdll.LoadLibrary('libmathBuf.so')

class callsubBuf(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.obj = lib.subBuf_new()

    def callcursubBuf(self, data, num, outData):
        lib.subBuf_sub(self.obj, data, num, outData)

callAddBuf = lib.addBuf

num = 4
numbytes = c_int(num)

data_in = (c_byte * num)()
for i in range(num):
    data_in[i] = i

print("initial input data buf:")
for i in range(num):
    print(data_in[i])

#pdata_in = cast(data_in, POINTER(c_ubyte))
#pdata_in2 = cast(pdata_in, POINTER(c_ubyte*num))

data_out = (c_byte * num)()

ret = callAddBuf(data_in, numbytes, data_out)

print("after call addBuf with C, output buf:")
for i in range(num):
    print(data_out[i])

f = callsubBuf()
f.callcursubBuf(data_in, numbytes, data_out)

print("after call cursubBuf with  C++ class, output buf:")
for i in range(num):
    print(data_out[i])

5. 运行test.py，输出如下：

说明：

1) test.py如果使用c_byte，则对应C中的unsigned char。

2) 程序使用了2个文件，subBuf.h和mathBuf.cpp。实际上可以使用一个文件，但是class要在extern "C"的上面，否则即便声明了class subBuf，也会提示invalid use of incomplete type ‘class subBuf’：

3) addSub函数的实现要在extern "C"的下面，否则会提示error: conflicting declaration of XXX with ‘C’ linkage：

4) ctypes中对应的c和python类型如下（具体参见ctypes的官方文档）：

ctypes type	C type	Python type
c_bool	_Bool	bool (*)
c_char	char	1-character string
c_wchar	wchar_t	1-character unicode string
c_byte	char	int/long
c_ubyte	unsigned char	int/long
c_short	short	int/long
c_ushort	unsigned short	int/long
c_int	int	int/long
c_uint	unsigned int	int/long
c_long	long	int/long
c_ulong	unsigned long	int/long
c_longlong	__int64 or long long	int/long
c_ulonglong	unsigned __int64 or unsigned long long	int/long
c_float	float	float
c_double	double	float
c_longdouble	long double	float
c_char_p	char * (NUL terminated)	string or None
c_wchar_p	wchar_t * (NUL terminated)	unicode or None
c_void_p	void *	int/long or None

*. The constructor accepts any object with a truth value.

提供了使用void*传递缓冲区的简单说明。

二 传结构体

1. 新建structPoint.cpp：

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

struct structImg
{
    int width;
    int height;
    int channels;
    char* buf;
};

extern "C"
{
    void showStructureInfo(structImg p);
}

void showStructureInfo(structImg p)
{
    printf("%d %d %d\n", p.width, p.height, p.channels);
    for(int i=;i< p.width*p.height*p.channels; ++i)
        printf("%d: %d\n", i, p.buf[i]);
}

2. 终端中将该文件编译成.so库：

g++ -std=c++ -shared -fPIC -o libstructPoint.so structPoint.cpp

3. 新建test.py：

from ctypes import *
lib = cdll.LoadLibrary('libstructPoint.so')

class structImgTest(Structure):
    _fields_ =[('width', c_int),
               ('height', c_int),
               ('channels', c_int),
               ('buf', POINTER(c_ubyte))] 

def getstructImg(width, height, channels):
    #cwidth = c_int(width)
    #cheight = c_int(height)
    #cchannels = c_int(channels)
    num = width * height * channels
    data_buf = (c_byte * num)()
    for i in range(num):
        data_buf[i] = i

    pbuf = cast(data_buf, POINTER(c_ubyte))

    st = structImgTest(width, height, channels, pbuf)
    return st

width = 4
height = 3
channels = 2
st = getstructImg(width, height, channels)

callTest = lib.showStructureInfo
callTest(st)

print st.width
print st.height 

# if declaration of test is test(structImg* p), then use the following line
pst = pointer(st)  # not sure if "POINTER" points to ctypes type, while "pointer" points to a variable

print pst.contents.width
print pst.contents.height 

4. 终端中运行test.py，结果如下：

可见输出的结果正确。
