Is anyone aware of a tool for C++ to define system-independent
structure definition?
I am thinking of something that would allow one to define a physical
structure from which is would generate a class with appropriate set/
get members. The purpose would be to handle all the implementation
dependent issues with alignment, type size, bit field and union
implementation while at the same time reducing the error-prone coding
constructs required for such programming.
I am familar with SDL from the olde Digital Equipment. That handled
structures in a language-independent (not system) manner.
