Thread: parsing the byte stream....

Hello,

I receive a payload which a byte stream:

e.g.

Code:

typedef unsigned char uint8;
typedef unsigned int uin16;

//Following is the payload:

uint8 data[] = {0x01,0x02,0x03,0x04,0x05,0x06,0x08,0x09,0x11}

//now i need to parse them to fill the structure defined below

typedef struct
{
   uint16  a;
   uint8    b;
   char     c;
   uint8    d;
   uint16   e;
}test;

besides parsing each byte and filling the structure members.

Is there any other way to directly fill the structure as a whole?.
Code ex: will help.

I tried doin this....but the device is throws exception:

Code:

test * parsed;
uint8 *u8EPt = data;

memcpy(parsed,(test  *)u8EPt,sizeof(test ));

Thanks

'parsed' doesn't actually point anywhere useful. You can't just copy to random pointers and expect it to work. You could always try a union.

Which part? Search for dynamic allocation (hint: malloc), or union (covered probably close to where you learned about structures), in the search engine of your choice.
