Been awhile... what's changed?

There's a preprocessor directive to disable that, but I forget what it is.

Under gcc, it's the compiler-specific extension __attribute__ ((__packed__)) iirc.  Either there isn't a standard way of requesting data packing or nobody follows it, so don't assume it's a preprocessor definition everywhere.

that reminds me, sometimes structs line stuff up on 32 bit boundries to speed it up. There's a preprocessor directive to disable that, but I forget what it is.

#pragma pack(1) for MSVC++ 6 I believe.

Well, I know you're not looking for code, but if you're looking for code regarding battle.net, feel free to check out http://tks.slacktech.com - it has plenty of examples in different languages, so you can get the feel of a possible good way, or method of doing things.

eww, winbot source?  Shouldn't make that public, people should work if they want something like that!

I see all the constants are defined in CPP/VB/etc. but no structures?  Does anyone have all the C++ structures defined that they can post?  Will save a lot of time.  It's much easier to convert C++ to C# as opposed to browsing around each message on BnetDocs and creating the structures one by one.

Thanks again for the help...

I think most people create the structures dynamically by calls like "insertbyte", "insertword", "insertdword", "insertzeroterminatedstring" etc. Because many of the packets have variable length fields, you can't use C++ structures for everything, and the packets that you could use them for are easy enough to generate anyway.

Ah, I see.  Alright, that'll do.  I'll follow suit then.

Or, could write structures which have serialize/deserialize methods.

I believe it would be something like

Code Select Expand


#pragma pack(push, r1, 1)
//struct
#pragma pack(pop, r1)

or

Code Select Expand


#include <pshpack1.h>
//struct
#include <poppack.h>
