in reply to mapping a C structure with perlXS

Can you show the XS code and the typemap so we have some idea where the error is?

    yes excuse me , i forgot the most important... the xs file is like this (exactly) : 
    #include "EXTERN.h"
#include "perl.h"
#include "XSUB.h"
#include "ppport.h"
#include "test.h"

typedef struct s_test Test;

MODULE = Tests    PACKAGE = Tests

void
my_function(ptr_struct)
Test * ptr_struct

    and in thetypemap file i added the following line : 
    Test *  T_PTROBJ

      Note that your s_test is a type: 
      typedef struct { unsigned *char test;} s_test;

      not a struct (which is anonymous here). So you'd probably better: 
      
typedef s_test Test; /* Removed "struct" */

      and see if this fixes your problem.

      Flavio (perl -e 'print(scalar(reverse("\nti.xittelop\@oivalf")))')

      Don't fool yourself.
