Binary File Reader

[young_leaf]

Hi,
What is the most efficient way of making a Binary File Reader, which
reads binary file on command of other application.

The program:
a) Read Binary File
b) Create a Table of data based on the "data" written on the Binary
File
c) The Application has access to a DLL which contain functions
d) a specified "data" from the Table is passed as parameter(s) of the
Function called from the DLL

Now,
what could be the best way to create "table" of data that will be later
passed as function parameter?

*consider that the method of reading and parsing the binary file has
been achieved, only the creation of table? (Reading is done byte by
byte for example)

like this:
// when invoked by other application to read the file and create a
table...

BYTE data;
while(!EOF)
{
...
read_bin_file(&data);

// we capture the data here
// & put it on the *Table*

AddToTable(data);
...

}

You can check Boost.Serialization it has binary archivers.
