Thanks, iMalc I guess the mystery is solved now!

Just one more quick question, do you happen to know of any resources I could look at to further understand how this object (or objects that share a...

Ah, so if I understand this correctly the union could have been a structure with 2 members (a pointer and an element of _type_), but to save memory this was not done since the structure would only...

Haha, that is quite a turn of phrase there. But this code is actually from the Doom 3 BFG GPL released recently so I assume its organization has a purpose.

A link to the file:...

Why would you want to allocate a buffer of size _type_ (plus padding) if the first couple bytes were to be interpreted as a pointer?

I was reading through a C++ template whose purpose was to allocate memory blocks (_type_ is the generic type passed). It seems to me the purpose of this code would be to create a byte aligned buffer...

Well, I got warnings with code I wrote to test it and with the code you posted.



And I had read a post I found on a google search big decimal integer constant warning - C / C++. So I was unsure...

Thanks for the quick response



Sorry about that. I will make sure to fix that in future posts.



Ah okay, so the constant 255 is treated as a regular int. Are all constants in C assumed to...

I was going through and commenting c++ source code to gain a better understanding of it, when I came across this range checking code. I would like to know what the maximum call to LargeAllocate would...

Great, thanks Tater and angel for the help

Sorry if this question is simple, but I was unable to verify what this line of code does through google searching.

I am confused as to how the if statement with the bitwise AND is evaluated.


...

I made that post after the one I made on this forum.

EDIT:
And why does it matter why I would want to? Maybe I want to create a game on the quake engine and sell it on Xbox Live, or maybe I would...

I would like to post a link for anyone curious about using C with XNA to a post I made on the App Hub forums (Using plain C with XNA? - App Hub Forums)

Is it possible to port a game engine like quake 2 to the Xbox through XNA or is there an alternative to XNA for use with C/C++? I have searched the web and was unable to find a concrete answer to...

You're always helpful salem :). The source navigator is exactly what I was looking for, thanks

Are there any open source tools available to analyze c source files so that I can input a source file and get a list of inclusions, types, global variables, and functions? I was unable to find any...

Thanks for the suggestions and analysis :), this is mostly a personal project that I am doing for educational purposes so I would like to create my own that improves on the given code.

I do not use Turbo C++, but a quick google search turned this up (this quote references other steps in the link):

Turbo C++ 4.5 Instructions


Sorry if this isn't helpful

I am looking over code that implements a linked list where one of its members is a string value -- to deal with this they used a hash table to quickly find elements. Although I do understand hash...

Got it working, thanks for the advice :)

I apologize if this is a simple question, but I am having trouble including header files into my main program body. For example, I will have all of a library's prototypes in the Library.h file and...

Excellent, thanks for the clarification

Is it bad practice to assume the proper (left to right) execution of boolean expressions for simplicity?

Reliant code:

if(
!Is_Next_Match(Parser, TOKEN_WEIGHT) ...

Any pointers inside of structs start pointing to nothing. You have to allocate space for them:


fat pfat;
pfat->dir_array = (dir *)malloc(sizeof(dir));
pfat->dir_array->root_dir=0;

EDIT: If...

Awesome, I've got it working. This solution is exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks again for the help lazerlight :)

An element of a char array is a char not a string. Using a double quote denotes a string i.e " ", using a single quote denotes a character ' '.

This should fix it:


if (st[i] == ' ') // this...
