Calling a C function with Node.js N-API shows output not expected

740 Views Asked by At

I'm new to Node.js N-API. Let me go straight to the question.

I'm trying to call a C function Camellia_Ekeygen with N-API, but the output of the function m_uKttWork is different from calling the same function directly with C++ code.

Here're the codes and outputs for references.

Using N-API

module.cpp

#include <node_api.h>
#include "camellia.h"

napi_value MyFunction(napi_env env, napi_callback_info info) {
    typedef unsigned int KEY_TABLE_TYPE[68];
    typedef unsigned char BYTE;

    BYTE m_byCurrentWorkKey[16] {};
    KEY_TABLE_TYPE m_uKttWork {};

    napi_status status;

    Camellia_Ekeygen( 128, m_byCurrentWorkKey, m_uKttWork );

    napi_value result;
    status = napi_create_array(env, &result);

    napi_value num_result;
    for (int i = 0; i < 68; i++) {
        status = napi_create_uint32(env, m_uKttWork[i], &num_result);
        status = napi_set_element(env, result, i, num_result);
    }

    return result;
}

napi_value Init(napi_env env, napi_value exports) {
    napi_status status;
    napi_value fn;

    status = napi_create_function(env, NULL, 0, MyFunction, NULL, &fn);
    status = napi_set_named_property(env, exports, "my_function", fn);

    return exports;
}

NAPI_MODULE(NODE_GYP_MODULE_NAME, Init)

module.js

const addon = require('./build/Release/module');
console.log(addon.my_function());

Output

Calling Camellia_Ekeygen directly

test.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include "camellia.h"

int main() {
    typedef unsigned char BYTE;
    typedef unsigned int KEY_TABLE_TYPE[68];

    BYTE m_byCurrentWorkKey[16] {};
    KEY_TABLE_TYPE m_uKttWork {};

    Camellia_Ekeygen( 128, m_byCurrentWorkKey, m_uKttWork );

    for (int i = 0; i < 68; i++) {
        std::cout << m_uKttWork[i] << " ";
    }

    std::cout << "\n";
}

Output

Is there anything I should be looking at in this case?? I've been looking for clues in these few days but still have no idea so far. Any troubleshooting direction or reference is appreciated.

I'm sure now the Camellia_Ekeygen actually called was not the one in the C++ source file I provided.

I renamed the function to Camellia_Ekeygen1 in module.cpp, camellia.h and the C++ source file and then the output was expected.

Thanks a lot for your time reading this.
