fread(&size,sizeof(DWORD),1,fp);C++: The BYTE Class?
Quote:Original post by jyk
Also, if you're interested in writing portable code, a good first step would be replace BYTE and DWORD with their C/C++ equivalents, char (probably unsigned) and... Well, there isn't a built-in primitive type in C++ (at this time) that's guaranteed to be 32 bits wide, but you can use the typedefs (uint32 or whatever) provided in newer versions of the C standard (?) or in the Boost libraries.
Yargh.
Portable win32 code? Portable to what, Linux?

I usually try to make all my code(not much) portable. I`m Studying cross platform GUI programming with QT4.

Yes, sorry. I'm a little tired. I thinkg that the typedefs (BYTE and DWORD etc) are there exactly for portability reason. Using undisguised C++ types like unsigned char seems a step backwards to me.

It probably needs to be:fread(&size,sizeof(DWORD),1,fp);
that works :)

the whole thing ended up being wrong for what i was doing. i've tried all kinds of tutorials from MCI to libsndfile. i'll be 1000 years old before i can read a wave file. actually trying to get an 11 line program using MCI to work now. Pssh!!
