从 unsigned char 数组转换为 long c

Question

我使用 fread 将 long 从二进制文件读取到无符号字符缓冲区中。

现在我想得到长。我该怎么做？

unsigned char buffer[sizeof(long)];

fread(buffer, sizeof(long), 1, my_file);

谢谢！

Answer 1

你的意思肯定是：

long buffer;
fread(&buffer, sizeof(long), 1, my_file);

Answer 2

如果您计划在计算机之间传输文件，则需要执行以下操作：

// will swap the byte order in little endian and not in big endian
long transform_standart_byte_order(long in) {
    return (((unsigned long) ((char*) &in)[0] << 56) |
           (((unsigned long) ((char*) &in)[1] << 48) |
           (((unsigned long) ((char*) &in)[2] << 40) |
           (((unsigned long) ((char*) &in)[3] << 32) |
           (((unsigned long) ((char*) &in)[4] << 24) |
           (((unsigned long) ((char*) &in)[5] << 16) |
           (((unsigned long) ((char*) &in)[6] <<  8) |
           (((unsigned long) ((char*) &in)[7]);
}

void write_long(FILE* my_file, long val) {
    val = transform_standart_byte_order(val);
    fwrite(val, sizeof(val), 1, my_file);
}

long read_long(FILE* my_file) {
    long val;
    fread(&val, sizeof(val), 1, my_file);
    return transform_standart_byte_order(val);
}
