How can I parse these binary datas from memory? I'm very novice in c.. Above codes can't compile. It has so many error. I can't use fread, because it's from memory. And Data that i have to parse is like..

How can I solve this difficult job?

CodePudding user response：

If something hasn't changed C standard has defined that the implementation shall define char to have the same range, representation, and behavior as either signed char or unsigned char . \xe7 has a decimal value 237 which is more than singed char can hold. Can this work? Another thing, passing a (char*) to ptr (void**), how can that work? Or, I a misunderstand something?
