I have a reg file which I’m trying to read.
There’s a type “dword” in some of the values…
"check"=dword:000001f4
"blah"=dword:000000c8
"test"=dword:00000000
"hello"=dword:00000000
What C++ type should I convert it to ? and how ?
A
dwordis a double word, where a word is the old (Intel 8086) 16-bit word.So, it converts to the WinAPI-specific type
DWORD, or the standard C (but not yet standard C++) typeuint32_t. Anunsigned longis guaranteed by C++03 to be large enough to hold 32-bits values as well, but may be wasteful on 64-bit platforms. Anunsigned intwill be large enough on MSVC++.Conversion (if you have a hex string) can be done using
strtoul.
