struct is a binary data formatting library inspired by 'The Practice of Programming (Brian W. Kernighan, Rob Pike)' and Python struct module.

struct uses following format characters (note that struct does not fully support the Python struct module's format):

Table 1. Byte order

Table 2. Format characters

#include "struct.h" ... char buf1[BUFSIZ] = {'\0',}; char buf2[BUFSIZ] = {'\0',}; char str[BUFSIZ] = {'\0',}; char fmt[BUFSIZ] = {'\0',}; int val = 42; struct_pack(buf1, "i", val); strcpy(str, "test"); snprintf(fmt, sizeof(fmt), "%ds", strlen(str)); struct_pack(buf2, fmt, str);

... int rval; char rstr[32] = {'\0',}; struct_unpack(buf1, "i", &rval); struct_unpack(buf2, fmt, rstr);

mkdir build cd build cmake .. make make install 

headers: build/release/include/struct/. library: build/release/lib/.

cmake -DSTRUCT_BUILD_TEST=ON .. make make test 

or run struct_test.

valgrind memory check:

ctest -T memcheck 

bazel build //:struct 

bazel test //test:struct_test 

or

bazel test --test_output=all //test:struct_test 

you can use git_repository to fetch struct library.

WORKSPACE:

load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:git.bzl", "git_repository") git_repository( name = "struct", branch = "master", remote = "https://github.com/svperbeast/struct", )
