ccy / pcsc Goto Github PK

I tried to use the TPCSC class but I was not able to find a method to list the smart card readers.
It looks like the only way to get the reader list is to use events using TPCSC.OnReaderFound.

I am able to use the list TPCSC.ReaderList[] but the list is empty even if a reader is connected.
The list .ReaderList[] is updated by TPCSC.GetPCSCReaderList() at https://github.com/ccy/pcsc/blob/master/MD_PCSC.pas#L895 but I can't call this method as it is private.

Did I miss something?

On GNU/Linux and Windows we have something like:

typedef LONG SCARDCONTEXT;
typedef LONG SCARDHANDLE;

See https://pcsclite.apdu.fr/api/pcsclite_8h.html#a22530ffaff18b5d3e32260a5f1ce4abd
And we also have:

typedef long LONG;

See https://github.com/LudovicRousseau/PCSC/blob/master/src/PCSC/wintypes.h#L92

On a 64-bits CPU the long is 32 bits on Windows but is 64 bits on GNU/Linux.
This is because Windows is a LLP64 system but Linux is a LP64 system. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit_computing#64-bit_data_models

And THandle is System.THandle which is LongInt which is 32-bits https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/thandle.html

So your code at https://github.com/ccy/pcsc/blob/master/MD_PCSCRaw.pas#L209 is wrong and will create a stack overflow.
pcsc-lite will write a 64 bits value when your wrapper only provides room for 32 bits.
