Imported .NET Interfaces with Guid arguments, should not be const

Hydra

Hi there,

I have defined the following .NET Interface:

[Guid("3E927F85-2966-45DC-9CA4-63C7ED18F38F"), ComVisible(true)]
  public interface ICoreTestFactory :  IHYCrossPlatformInterface
  {
    Guid TestGuid(Guid id);
  }

The implementation is basic, it just returns the passed in Guid.

 public Guid TestGuid(Guid id)
 {
      return id;
 }

If I use the Hydra import tool, and import the interface into Delphi. I get the following.
Notice that the id parameter is const.

  ICoreTestFactory = interface(IHYCrossPlatformInterface)
  ['{3E927F85-2966-45DC-9CA4-63C7ED18F38F}']
    function TestGuid(const id: TGuid): TGuid; safecall;
  end;

The following unit test crashes the test runner (DUnit) hard, when calling the .NET TestGuid Method.
The process just vanishes…

procedure TMyDebugUnitTestCase.Test_MyTest1;
var
  Guid1: TGuid;
  Guid2: TGuid;
begin
  Guid1 := TGuid.NewGuid;
  Guid2 := TCoreTestFactory.Instance.TestGuid(Guid1);  // crashes here when const
  CheckTrue(IsEqualGUID(Guid1, Guid2) );
end;

If I manually remove the const modifier the test works just fine:

ICoreTestFactory = interface(IHYCrossPlatformInterface)
  ['{3E927F85-2966-45DC-9CA4-63C7ED18F38F}']
    function TestGuid(id: TGuid): TGuid; safecall;
  end;

When using the const modifier, I put a breakpoint in the .NET method TestGuid.
The id (Guid) argument always had a value of: {0019f4f4-f4e4-0019-20f5-19003b4d2f02}.
In Delphi I am generating random Guids. So the value reaching .NET is already wrong.

I think you will have to adjust your importer so that Guid arguments are not marked as const.

Thanks!

Hello

Sorry for the inconvenience. We have fixed the Guid parameter type handling in the .NET assembly importer
