struct,long on 64-bit machine

What's wrong with this?
type(struct.unp ack('l','\00'*8 )[0])
<type 'int'>

Why I am getting 'int' when I asked for 'long'?

This is on python-2.5.1-15.fc8.x86_64

C longs are converted to Python integers; see the table on
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-struct.html. If you really need the
Python long, use long(...).

In using the following struct format I get the size as 593. The same C struct is 590 if packed on byte boundary and 596 when using pragma pack(4). I am using pack(4) and added 3 spares at the end to get by. hdrFormat = '16s 32s 32s B 8s H 8s H 4s H H 20s 64s 64s 64s 32s 32s 64s L L B B B B B 64s 64s' Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Hi all, I am writing a program using some structs, it is not running and I believe it is because there's some memory leak - the debugger tells me that the code causes the problem is in the malloc function. Is there any general rules that tell me when to allocate memory? I thought I don't have to if it is a variable that's not a pointer, and I have to if it is. I am a bit confused about the arrays particularly. In normal situations,...

I have a struct that I wrote to test a protocol. The idea I had was to just declare the elements of the struct in the order in which they are sent and received as defined by the protocol. However, writing this struct to a file produces unexpected results. Here is a test struct I wrote: struct Tester { unsigned short first; unsigned int second;

I recently had to use someone's struct from a native app to receive data over Udp. The struct has a array member which looked like this: struct sensorHdr{ char sName; }; When I tried to make this a managed struct by adding either the value struct or ref struct I received a compile error stating that mixed types are not supported. I understand this, but I don't know how to create a char array in

Howdy folks, I've been working on a c project, compiling using gcc, and I've reached a problem. The assignment requires creation of a two-level directory file system. No files have to be added or deleted, however it must be initialized by a function during run-time to contain so many users which each contain so many directories of which each contain so many files. I've completed the program and have it running flawlessly without implementing...

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 Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
