Error: Can't access lexical declaration

cafe_carl

let textBytes = ctypes.uint8_t("hello"); let a = new SECItem; a.type = siBuffer; a.data = textBytes.address(); a.len = textBytes.length; I got ReferenceError: can't access lexical declaration textBytes before initialization.

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

I can't reproduce the reference error you are getting, but I think change let textBytes = ctypes.uint8_t("hello"); as this throws TypeError: expected type uint8_t, got "hello" to let textBytes = ctypes.uint8_t.array()("hello"); This will give you a null-terminated string, of length 6. If you want it to be length 5, no null termination then do let textBytes = ctypes.uint8_t.array(5)("hello"); as I am thinking, change let a = new SECItem; to let a = SECItem(); or let a = new SECItem(); they are both same. If that doesn't fix it, please share the structure of SECItem and what is siBuffer .
