Question

I'm trying to use BSD copyfile(...) to copy a file to a mounted AFP share (/Volumes/exchange) with an Obj-C++ code like this:

Minimal example:

#include <string>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <copyfile.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>

int copyfile_callback(int what, int stage, copyfile_state_t state, const char * src, const char * dst, void * ctx);
void copy_file(const std::string& src, const std::string& dst);
NSString* StringToNSString ( const std::string& Str );

int main ()
{
    [NSAutoreleasePool new];
    [NSApplication sharedApplication];
    [NSApp setActivationPolicy:NSApplicationActivationPolicyRegular];
    id menubar = [[NSMenu new] autorelease];
    id appMenuItem = [[NSMenuItem new] autorelease];
    [menubar addItem:appMenuItem];
    [NSApp setMainMenu:menubar];
    id appMenu = [[NSMenu new] autorelease];
    id appName = [[NSProcessInfo processInfo] processName];
    id quitTitle = [@"Quit " stringByAppendingString:appName];
    id quitMenuItem = [[[NSMenuItem alloc] initWithTitle:quitTitle
        action:@selector(terminate:) keyEquivalent:@"q"] autorelease];
    [appMenu addItem:quitMenuItem];
    [appMenuItem setSubmenu:appMenu];
    id window = [[[NSWindow alloc] initWithContentRect:NSMakeRect(0, 0, 200, 200)
        styleMask:NSTitledWindowMask backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered defer:NO]
            autorelease];
    [window cascadeTopLeftFromPoint:NSMakePoint(20,20)];
    [window setTitle:appName];
    [window makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];

    copy_file(
      "copyfile.mm",
      "/Volumes/exchange/filename(\"[~!@#$%^&*,.']\").MP4"
    );

    [NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];
    [NSApp run];
    return 0;
}

void copy_file(const std::string& fromPath, const std::string& toPath)
{
    NSLog(@"copyfile: %s -> %s", fromPath.c_str(), toPath.c_str());
    copyfile_state_t s = copyfile_state_alloc();
    copyfile_state_set(s, COPYFILE_STATE_STATUS_CB, (void*)&copyfile_callback);
    int returnCode = copyfile(fromPath.c_str(), toPath.c_str(), s, COPYFILE_ALL);
    if( returnCode ) {
        NSLog(@"copyfile error code: %d, errno=%d", returnCode, errno);
    }
    copyfile_state_free(s);
}

int copyfile_callback(int what, int stage, copyfile_state_t state, const char * src, const char * dst, void * ctx)
{
    bool bContinue = true;
    switch( what ) {
        case COPYFILE_COPY_DATA:
            if( stage == COPYFILE_PROGRESS ) {
                int src_fd;
                off_t bytes_completed = 0L, total_bytes = 0L;
                copyfile_state_get(state, COPYFILE_STATE_COPIED, (void*)&bytes_completed);
                copyfile_state_get(state, COPYFILE_STATE_SRC_FD, (void*)&src_fd);
                struct stat fstat_info;
                if( src_fd > 0 && 0 == fstat(src_fd, &fstat_info) ) {
                    total_bytes = fstat_info.st_size;
                }
                NSLog(@"copyfile_callback: Copied %lld/%lld bytes so far.", bytes_completed, total_bytes);

            } else if( stage == COPYFILE_ERR ) {
                NSLog(@"copyfile: COPYFILE_COPY_DATA COPYFILE_ERR");
                bContinue = false;
            }
            break;
        case COPYFILE_ERR:
            bContinue = false;
            break;
    }
    return bContinue ? COPYFILE_CONTINUE : COPYFILE_QUIT;
}

NSString* StringToNSString ( const std::string& Str )
{
    NSString *pString = [NSString stringWithCString:Str.c_str()
                                           encoding:[NSString defaultCStringEncoding]
                        ];
    return pString;
}

Save this example as copyfile.mm and compile with:

g++ -framework Cocoa -x objective-c++ copyfile.mm -o copyfile 

It works fine unless my destination filename (toPath) contains a double-quote symbols. Then i get

returnCode == -1;
errno == 22; // EINVAL

It also works with normal C++, but fails with Obj-C++. With Obj-C++ - I also see the following message in the system.log:

5/21/13 11:47:51.314 PM myAppName: open on /Volumes/exchange/filename("[~!@#$%^&*,.']").MP4: Invalid argument

Mac OS 10.7.5 and gcc 4.2.1:

$ g++ -v

Was it helpful?

Solution

As was pointed by Eric Postpischil (thanks!) - it was a problem with network share. After upgrading to latest netatalk version and setting correct setting to netatalk config my code works without any changes.

(sorry for late reply, guys :)
