Reading packets

[iago]

whereas, in c++ you have polymorphism (which is very nice)

I agree, but even in C++, not everyone uses that for packetbuffers.  I find the extra casting more annoying than just modifying the names slightly -- insertdw, insertw, insertb, etc.  It can go either way, but it's usually made clear by context.

I actually do both, and use whichever suits the situation better.  If I am doing a constant, I do this:
.insertByte(0xFF);
.insertByte(0x0F);
.insertWord(0x20);
..etc.
But when I have variable, I tend to just use insert:
.insertByte(0xFF);
.insert(bCode);
.insert(wLength);
..etc.


It's really personal taste, though.  I have a Java and a C++ packetbuffer on my computer, and I'm pretty sure I posted them somewheres.  If you want a link, let me know

That'd be great  I searched on these fourms, but couldn't find anything.

Just overload the += operator too
