I am trying to create a reusable structure for reading in data from a binary data stream. I have attached a ragel file that demonstrates the problem I am having and would appreciate tips and advice on what I am doing wrong or better ways to go about solving the problem.
I have defined Word8b, Word16b and Word32b to represent the blocks I will be reading from the data stream. The data is accumulated into a temporary variable (temp) and then assigned to the specific variable on exit from the appropriate machine. It works fine for small numbers but does strange things with numbers >127. It seems to be a problem with signed vs unsigned but I can't figure out what it is. What I expect a8 1 b8 ff a16 2 b16 fe a32 3 b32 fd What I get a8 1 b8 ffff a16 2 b16 fffe a32 3 b32 fffffffd _______________________________________________ ragel-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.complang.org/mailman/listinfo/ragel-users
