Hi,
I encountered a problem involving storage of unsigned long long. The
requirement of incoming data field is an unsigned 64-bit integer, but
on our system, due to lack of support of 64-bit integer from Oralce
pro-C(it only supports 32-bit integer). We have to find a way to get
around it. I am wondering whether there is other way to store big int
in kind of 8-byte raw data and later convert it to 64-bit integer. Is
the raw data has to be stored as C-string? Certainly, we can use
double, but I like to know whether we have other option or not. thx

Switch compilers.

Sure, just store it in eight bytes (uint8_t or unsigned char).

How so, if there is no 64 bit integer type?
I'm not sure where your problem is, but remember that after all any object
is stored as a sequence of bytes. The much more interesting part is what
you want to do with the integer. If you only need to store it or move it
around, just use a struct containing an array of eight octets or
equivalent. If you need to do arithmetic with it, you might consider
splitting it into two parts of 32 bit each.
Is the raw data has to be stored as C-string? Certainly, we can use
double, but I like to know whether we have other option or not.
Why would you store it as C string? It is not text and it surely is not
terminated by a trailing NUL.
Further, I don't think double can be used to store 64 bit integral numbers
(at least not without discarding some digits), but long double might
be. "might be" because it is possible that long double is no bigger than
double.

Our systemm does support uint64_t, the problem comes from Oracle Pro-C
code which doesn't support 64-bit integer. I can do following:
typedef unsigned char octet;
octet bigNum[sizeof(uint64_t )];
uint64_t myBigNum = 1000;
memcpy(&bigNum, &myBigNum, sizeof(myBigNum ));
the corresponding field at Oracle DB table is defined as a number, the
only question left is whether DB can enterpret 8 raw bytes as DB
number and store it correctly?
So, instead of using a uint64_t we can use octet[] instead if it works.

If that's the only question left, then you're asking it in the wrong

hello!
I have a following situation:
I have a byte array where at a certain location are stored 4 bytes, and
these should be "put" into long variable (or any other 4 byte one).
ie:
byte a={0x0,0x0,0xfe,0x30,0x9e,0x2,0x66,0,0}
and the bytes 0xfe,0x30,0x9e,0x2 should be put into long variable which
should then contain 43921662
how to achieve this?

Hello all,
I've heard differing opinions on this and would like a definitive
answer on this once and for all. If I have an array of 4 1-byte values
where index 0 is the least signficant byte of a 4-byte value. Can I use
the arithmatic shift operators to hide the endian-ness of the
underlying processor when assembling a native 4-byte value like
follows:
unsigned int integerValue;
unsigned char byteArray;

What do you think of the following code for setting and retrieving the
value of bytes in an unsigned integer? The least significant bit has
index 0, then the next least significant bit has index 1, and so on. The
code computes at runtime the byte-order of the unsigned integer, but alas
it would be better if it could be determined at compile-time. The code
potentially invokes undefined behaviour if an unsigned integer contains
padding bits....

There is a thread currently active on this newsgroup entitled:
"how to calculate the difference between 2 addresses ?"
The thread deals with calculating the distance, in bytes, between two
memory addresses. Obviously, this can only be done if the addresses refer
to elements or members of the same object (or base objects, etc.).
John Carson and I proposed two separate methods.

As I read it, C99 states that a byte is an:
"addressable unit of data storage large enough to hold any member of
the basic character
set of the execution environment" (3.6)
and that a byte must be at least 8 bits:
"The values given below shall be replaced by constant expressions
suitable for use in #if

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.
