How do get process id using ffi-napi? I'm using this code, which is generated by ChatGPT.

const ffi = require("ffi-napi");
const ref = require("ref-napi");
const iconv = require("iconv-lite");

const user32 = ffi.Library("user32", {
    EnumWindows: ["bool", ["pointer", "int32"]],
    IsWindowVisible: ["bool", ["int32"]],
    GetWindowTextW: ["int", ["int", "pointer", "int"]],
    GetWindowThreadProcessId: ["int32", ["int", "pointer"]],
});

const MAX_TITLE_LENGTH = 255;
const windowInfos = [];

const callback = ffi.Callback("bool", ["int32", "int32"], (hwnd, lParam) => {
    const isVisible = user32.IsWindowVisible(hwnd);
    if (isVisible) {
        const buf = Buffer.alloc(MAX_TITLE_LENGTH * 2); // multiply by 2 for wide char support
        user32.GetWindowTextW(hwnd, buf, buf.length);
        const nullTerminatorIndex = buf.indexOf("\0\0"); // wide char null terminator is two bytes long
        const titleBuffer = buf.slice(0, nullTerminatorIndex);
        const title = iconv.decode(titleBuffer, "utf-16le").trim();

        if (!title) return true;

        try {
            const pid = ref.alloc("int");
            user32.GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, pid);
            const id = pid.deref();
            const windowInfo = {
                id: id,
                title: title,
            };
            windowInfos.push(windowInfo);

            console.log(windowInfo);
        } catch (error) {
            console.error("Error adding window:", error);
        }
    }
    return true;
});

try {
    user32.EnumWindows(callback, 0);
} catch (error) {
    console.error("Error enumerating windows:", error);
}

console.log(windowInfos);

const ffi = require("ffi-napi");
const ref = require("ref-napi");
const iconv = require("iconv-lite");

const user32 = ffi.Library("user32", {
    EnumWindows: ["bool", ["pointer", "int32"]],
    IsWindowVisible: ["bool", ["int32"]],
    GetWindowTextW: ["int", ["int", "pointer", "int"]],
    GetWindowThreadProcessId: ["int32", ["int", "pointer"]],
});

const MAX_TITLE_LENGTH = 255;
const windowInfos = [];

const callback = ffi.Callback("bool", ["int32", "int32"], (hwnd, lParam) => {
    const isVisible = user32.IsWindowVisible(hwnd);
    if (isVisible) {
        const buf = Buffer.alloc(MAX_TITLE_LENGTH * 2); // multiply by 2 for wide char support
        user32.GetWindowTextW(hwnd, buf, buf.length);
        const nullTerminatorIndex = buf.indexOf("\0\0"); // wide char null terminator is two bytes long
        const titleBuffer = buf.slice(0, nullTerminatorIndex);
        const title = iconv.decode(titleBuffer, "utf-16le").trim();

        if (!title) return true;

        try {
            const pid = ref.alloc("int");
            user32.GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, pid);
            const id = pid.deref();
            const windowInfo = {
                id: id,
                title: title,
            };
            windowInfos.push(windowInfo);

            console.log(windowInfo);
        } catch (error) {
            console.error("Error adding window:", error);
        }
    }
    return true;
});

try {
    user32.EnumWindows(callback, 0);
} catch (error) {
    console.error("Error enumerating windows:", error);
}

console.log(windowInfos);

It works, but it just throw the error below randomly after getting some process id. I believe that this error is related to memory allocations.

These 3 lines of code caused the problem, but I have no idea how to fix it

const pid = ref.alloc("int");
user32.GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, pid);
const id = pid.deref();

const pid = ref.alloc("int");
user32.GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, pid);
const id = pid.deref();
