I'm working with an external C library in Swift for OS X. I get a value cda, which is defined in C as a double* (it is a pointer to a double array).
When importing into Swift, it recognizes the type as UnsafeMutablePointer. I'm trying to convert this pointer and the count into a double array. Here's the code that I'm using (assume arrlen is the correct count of the array):
let doublearrptr = UnsafePointer<Double>(cda) let xptarr = UnsafeBufferPointer<Double>(start: doublearrptr, count:arrlen) However, when compiling this code fragment, I get the error:
Cannot convert value of type 'UnsafePointer<Double>' to expected argument type 'UnsafePointer<_>' I'm relatively new to Swift, but I'm fairly certain that I can't convert to UnsafePointer<_>. I tried converting to UnsafePointer<Void>, but that got the same error. Swift does recognize that cda is a UnsafeMutablePointer<Double>.
