[swift-users] Swift-C array interop with Swift 4/Xcode 9

I've got Swift code wrapping a C API. One of the C structs the API uses looks like this:

typedef struct {
    size_t size;
    float transformation[16];
    float projection[16];
    uint32_t width;
    uint32_t height;
} image_info_t;

In Swift, the two array members are 16-tuples of floats. Eventually, the Swift code calls an Objective-C delegate, passing a tuple to an array:

self.delegate?
    .imageReceived(self,
                    index: inReq.imageIndex,
                    data: data,
                    width: width,
                    height: height,
                    transform: &inReq.imageInfo.transformation.0,
                    projection: &inReq.imageInfo.projection.0)

This seems to have been working fine for a long time, but we're running into a crash in some cases, and so I've been digging into it. I turned on the address sanitizer, and I consistently get it to trip in some C++ code that eventually gets called with a float* to that transform tuple.

Now, in Swift, the values of the tuple look great:

▿ 16 elements
  - .0 : 0.548282921
  - .1 : 0.821425974
  - .2 : -0.156990349
  - .3 : 0.0
  - .4 : -0.277842015
  - .5 : 0.00185899995
  - .6 : -0.960625231
  - .7 : 0.0
  - .8 : -0.788789928
  - .9 : 0.570312977
  - .10 : 0.229245573
  - .11 : 0.0
  - .12 : 0.0475889929
  - .13 : -0.0323969983
  - .14 : -0.0113521963
  - .15 : 1.0

I can see this by clicking up the stack a couple frames to the Swift code. But the Objective-C(++) delegate code, that gets passed a float*, sees this (BTW, I can't figure out how to get the debugger, Xcode or command line, to display inTransform as an array of 16 floats). It's clearly not the same array.


(lldb) po inTransform[0]
0.548282921

(lldb) po inTransform[1]
0.0343905278

(lldb) po inTransform[2]
-0

(lldb) po inTransform[3]
0

(lldb) po inTransform[4]
0

(lldb) po inTransform[5]
0

(lldb) po inTransform[6]
95488384

(lldb) po inTransform[14]
0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000560519386

(lldb) po inTransform[15]
0

The address sanitizer spits out this:

So, how do I properly go back and forth between C and Swift code with pointers to arrays of floats?

Thanks,
