Procedure as a record field
« on: September 11, 2019, 03:44:58 pm »
https://macpgmr.github.io/MacXPlatform/PascalForTensorFlow.html includes this definition which is required to load an external TensorFlow model file

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. type
  2.   TF_Buffer = record
  3.     data: pointer;
  4.     length: csize_t;
  5.     data_deallocator: procedure (data: pointer; length: csize_t); cdecl;
  6.   end;
  7. type
  8.   TF_BufferPtr = ^TF_Buffer;
  9.  

I've got my data_deallocator function as follows

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. procedure DeallocateBuffer(data: Pointer; fsize: csize_t);
  2. begin
  3.   Free(data);
  4. end;


Can't work out how to assign it to the record, surely it should be something along the lines of

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. var
  2.   rec: TF_BufferPtr;
  3. begin
  4.  
  5.   <Code to read data into data buffer>
  6.  
  7.   rec^.length := fsize;
  8.   rec^.data :=data;
  9.   rec^.data_deallocator := @DeallocateBuffer;
  10. end;
  11.  

It's essentially a callback stored in a record methinks

Is the library wrong or is there some new FPC feature that allows this?

You have created a pointer type record or you have declared one but have not created any memory to hold it so it's going to bomb anyways.

 In this case I don't see why you actually need that? Use the non pointer version in a location where it will always live, like in the main variable section for example.

Var
 rec:TF_Buffer;


 In code somewhere.

 Rec.Length := ?
 
 and the rest....

 If the call back reference needs an address to it you can provide that via the "@Rec" etc.

 need more info?

@jamie

Can't do that, it's a callback - the callback is in tensorflow.dll / .so/ .dylib (which is written in C)

Not in the extract is a Malloc for xMB of memory - that's why the de-allocator has a Free in it

When Tensorflow has finished with the buffer it calls the address in data_deallocator passing the params supplied in the record.

A valid way suggested in 2010 (old forum posts) was to make TF_Buffer an object (should work)

Pascal2Tensorflow, however, defines it as stated above and there have been new features added to FPC since 2010 - one may be procedures as record fields (it's possible). Well, either that or Pascal2Tensorflow is wrong (H2Pas possibly?)

Simply trying to find the correct way to do this...

1. you don't mention the exact errormessage
2. the declaration of the record is cdecl, but the procedure is standard calling convention.

@peardox
 
  So you telling us this record lives in a remote Module ?
   
  and @marcov has a valid point  :D

No - the record is local, Tensorflow is dynamically loaded

Tensorflow needs an address to call using cdecl passing a pointer and int64 so caller can free allocated memory when no longer required.

The (mostly) C sample I'm working from is at https://github.com/Neargye/hello_tf_c_api/blob/master/src/load_graph.cpp

The somewhat convoluted way it works is you have to read in a Tensorflow model, create and assign it to a TF_Buffer, get TF to do something with it and finally call TF_DeleteBuffer - this is the vital bit... Tensorflow calls the caller to dispose of the buffer then presumably does some internal housekeeping.

Once this works Tensorflow becomes a big black box I can throw images at and get different images out. Stuff like image background removal, style transfer etc - there are loads of Python examples that do this (I'm not releasing a program with Python as a dependency - nightmare!)

I just looked at that C++ file, good luck, I think you'll need it.

I see already that maybe off on the wrong foot.

I just looked closer, it looks like all you need is a generic pointer and set the address to the procedure at hand.

 You need to ensure the procedure is correct of course.
data_deallocator:Pointer;

Data_Deallocator := @TheProcedure;

I think that is it..
you need to supply the procedure in your code which must match the C version.

  2. begin
  3.   Free(data);

As marcov wrote, declare it as cdecl. Otherwise show a full, self contained example that should compile as well as the error message.

Did all that and a few extra things

It now SIGSEGVs on closing form :(

I then moved the form oncreate code to a button onclick and it dies a completely different way!

Time to re-install Laz methinks (not many other plans come to mind)

The procedure you create must be StdCall or  Cdecl , what ever the Library expects and you can't use a Class method unless it is labeled as a class type and calling convention specified.

 Otherwise, all calls in Fpc are Registered based so this will crash if you don't take these steps
I've got my data_deallocator function as follows

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. procedure DeallocateBuffer(data: Pointer; fsize: csize_t); StdCall or Cdecl here ?
  2. begin
  3.   Free(data);
  4. end;

Well, that (hopefully) explains a lot

My C is a bit rusty

The entire Pascal library defines everything as cdecl but the official C headers are all stdcall

Earlier I moved the testing code from oncreate to onclick and things went BADLY wrong

This has been driving me crazy

Time to cross everything...

And now it can't find the library

Giving it a go on the Mac I get more detailed error messages and this looks like a name mangling issue

When everything was cdecl it found them all and overwrote a load of stuff

Now it's stdcall it appears to be using mangled names (but at least it shouldn't mess up memory)

Well, that's how it looks to me...

Having just changed 216 function / procedure definitions to include external name '<name>';

AFAIK stdcall is for windows only and cdecl for the *nixes

you can do something like this:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.     procedure DeallocateBuffer(data: Pointer; fsize: csize_t); {$IFDEF WINDOWS}StdCall{$ENDIF} {$IFDEF LINUX}Cdecl{$ENDIF};
  2.     begin
  3.       Free(data);
  4.     end;
  5. // or
  6.     procedure DeallocateBuffer(data: Pointer; fsize: csize_t); {$IFDEF WINDOWS}StdCall{$ELSE}Cdecl{$ENDIF};
  7.     begin
  8.       Free(data);
  9.     end;
  10.
