First app

[KeKl]

Hi,

after creating the wrapper I tried my first program.

    unsafe static int Main(string[] args)
        {
        int argc = args.Length;

        string[] argv = new string[args.Length + 1];

        var a = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly();

        if (a == null)
            a = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();

        var attrs = a.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyTitleAttribute), false);

        if (attrs.Length > 0)
            argv[0] = ((AssemblyTitleAttribute)attrs[0]).Title;

        args.CopyTo(argv, 1);

        var p = Marshal.StringToHGlobalAuto(argv[0]);
        var charp = (char*)p;
        var k = (char*)p;
        Marshal.FreeHGlobal(p);

        QCoreApplication app = new QCoreApplication(&argc, &k);

        QDate date = new QDate();
        date.AddDays(5);
        date.AddMonths(5);

        var day = date.Day;    

        return QCoreApplication.Exec();
    } 

I have following problems:

• the children property of app throws System.NullReferenceException
• the DynamicPropertyNames property of app throws System.AccessViolationException
• AddDays throw PInvokeStackImbalance Exception

Do I have miss something or is this the field of future work?

Thank you.

1 is a known bug and so is 2. 3 I hadn't encountered, thank you. I'm taking these as bug reports and will let you know as soon as they're fixed.

[KeKl]

Ok.

In the meantime I created a fork. I will write some Unit Tests with NUnit. If you have any suggestions... youre welcome.

[KeKl]

Why is the class QString internal? Will it be available in future, or should the QStringRef/StringBuilder used instead?

[ddobrev]

It is mapped to System.String. Do you need QString explicitly?

[KeKl]

No I don´t. Is it planned to do this also for QChar or any other type?

In my test project I will add tests from time to time. I have a [Ignore("Bug!")]-Attribute. This means VS will freeze if I run the test, either a binding-bug or a test-bug. I also have a To-Do list, where I will write some suggestions for improving the bindings.

[ddobrev]

It's been planned for the following types so far: QChar, QHash, QMap, QList (there's one type map not working yet) and QDate,

Great news about the collection of bugs and the TODO list! This will be very helpful for Qt#, thank you very much for your effort.

It's really nice to hear you've got some documentation done. I'd really love to see it. I am afraid, however, that I am not well familiar with GitHub's interface so I think search engines can help you better than I can.

By the way, your message hasn't appeared on GitHub, it's really strange.

[KeKl]

Me too. I did it in Word, so I will try to substantially upload it.

Can you add me as a contributor? I would like to commit my tests to the main repo.

[ddobrev]

@KeKl thank you very much for your tests. However, I would rather prefer you sent pull requests for the first few times because I'd like to review them a little. After a few iterations, if your work has been mostly flawless, I'll add you as a contributor. What do you think?
