  • 0

I am trying to run the following C++ method from Java using JNA, but I get an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION.

typedef struct sp_session sp_session; ///< Representation of a session
/**
* The connection state of the specified session.
*
* @param[in]   session    Your session object
*
* @return                 The connection state - see the sp_connectionstate enum for possible values
*/
SP_LIBEXPORT(sp_connectionstate) sp_session_connectionstate(sp_session *session);

Here is my Java code:

main class

public class Test{
    static{
        System.loadLibrary("libspotify");
    }

    public static void main(String[] args){
        JLibspotify lib = (JLibspotify)Native.loadLibrary("libspotify", JLibspotify.class);

        sp_session mySession = new sp_session();

        lib.sessionConnectionstate(mySession); // CRASH_HERE
    }
}

library

public interface JLibspotify extends StdCallLibrary{
    int sessionConnectionstate(sp_session session);
}

sp_session object I declared this as a PointerType as I don’t have any information on it

public class sp_session extends PointerType{

    public sp_session(Pointer address) {
        super(address);
    }
    public sp_session() {
        super();
    }
}

And here is my crash report:

I’ve read that EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION with ExceptionCode 0xc00000005 are often due to the usage of a pointer that holds an invalid memory address. Do you think it is the case here? Did I not initialize my session instance properly? How can I solve this?

Thank you!

    Yes, according to the stack trace, the sp_session_connectionstate function is dereferencing a NULL pointer.

    It might be possible that the sp_session being passed is NULL. If the C code isn’t yours, this is most likely the case.

    Unfortunately, I’m not very familiar with JNI, so I can’t tell whether or not you’re passing the pointer from Java to C correctly. Someone else probably knows better.
