fread + array
Author
float blah[3];
fread(&blah, 4, 3, file);
does this read 3 floats from a file and store them correctly? can it be used if the floats are allocated with calloc?
No, that wont work. blah is an ''array'', but in C/C++ arrays are just pointers to buffers, so you don''t need to take the reference of blah.
if you want to read 3 floats like that, try:
You can pass a pointer to any buffer to fread().. just make sure to keep track of the proper sizes to pass as the 2nd and 3rd argument.

Yet another reason to use C++ IOstreams!

or maybe programmers should start learning how to program.

Unfortunately, iostreams have performance issues.
Which are in large part balanced (or outweighed?) by their ease of use and superior design. And the performance hit isn''t that severe either.
Probably the only read advantage of C-style IO is with large text formatting problems (columns, tabs, yadda yadda).

float *foo;
foo = (float*)calloc(vertexnumber * 5,4);
fread(foo, 4, vertexnumber*5, mousefile);
works perfectly
foo = (float*)calloc(vertexnumber * 5,4);
fread(foo, 4, vertexnumber*5, mousefile);
works perfectly
Run! Flee! The IOStream! It''s flooding over!
Ok, just had to say that. Sorry but this post contributes nothing but bad comedy. B-)
