Hi,
I have this struct initialized globally:
struct riddle {
char *text;
....
}
below, the function I call in main with the riddle struct as arg. is
defined:
void prepareRiddle(s truct riddle *riddle)
{
// here I get a string (char *tmp) with a known size (int length)
incl. terminator.
riddle->text = (char*)malloc(l ength * sizeof(char)); // figured
sizeof(char) could be != 1 on some platforms
....
}
still, sizeof(riddle.t ext) called in main() doesn't give me the numbers
I had hoped for.
Am I accessing the text member in my riddle struct inappropriately ?
Thanks.

A big thank you to all of you.
Especially you guys who gave hints and guidelines on posting on Usenet
(and newsgroups in general), and of course to Flash Gordon for the
technical insight.
Regards,
Anders

No, it's fscking not! It's Usenet; these are newsgroups.
Jeez Richard. I've only been posting here for like 12 years, before
Google Groups even existed. You managed to completely miss the entire

My apologies. It must be Google Groups users getting on my tits, but
that doesn't excuse my sloppy reading.

I understand. At least this group tries to deal with the Google
situation, and definitely for the better. Over on comp.lang.c++, the
no-quoting is rampant, and they're just now starting to pipe up about
it.

When I'm reading from or writing to a network socket, I want to use a
struct to represent the structured data, but must use an unsigned char
buffer for the call to sendto() or recvfrom().
I have two questions:
1. Is it generally safe to "overlay" the structure on the buffer,
e.g.:
unsigned char buffer;

Hi all! I support a rather large production EDI application with a
number of C programs, and I ran across a very interesting problem. I
have some code that used to work just fine for years, and now all of a
sudden it doesn't work any more. The input to the program did not
change at all (even ran it through a binary browser to make certain
there were no hidden chars or something strange) and the program has
not been recompiled in years....

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
