How to cast an array to an string array?
I'm trying to wrap a C function that receives a char** as parameter but I can't seem to cast it properly. Do I have to iterate over the array and recreate an array on c? I was following this array buffer to native example but I'm stuck. Can someone give me a hint or point me to an example that uses strings and array?
// index.js
const addon = require('./node/addon')
addon.start(4, [
'-in',
'str1',
'-out',
'str3'
])
// wrapper.cc
Napi::Value start(const Napi::CallbackInfo &info)
{
Napi::Env env = info.Env();
Napi::Number bufferSize = info[0].As<Napi::Number>();
Napi::Array buffer = info[1].As<Napi::Array>();
// how would you make this work?
char **stringArray= reinterpret_cast<char **>(buffer);
