I need to make the data in the structure as persistent ie wanted to store it in a file and need to read that character by character...For this i had written the below code...the below code is not working it is unable to write the structure into the file(character by character)... I needed that character by character
struct x *x1=(struct x*)malloc(sizeof(struct x));
x1->y=29;
x1->c='A';
char *x2=(char *)malloc(sizeof(struct x));
char *s=(char *)malloc(sizeof(struct x));
for(i=0;i<sizeof(struct x);i++)
{
*(x2+i)=*((char *)x1+i);
}
fd=open("rohit",O_RDWR);
num1=write(fd,x2,sizeof(struct x));
num2=read(fd,s,sizeof(struct x));
for(i=0;i<sizeof(struct x);i++)
printf(" %d ",*(s+i));
I can use fread & fwrite...but i wanted to do that character by character...so i am using read & write(they are direct system calls rite)...i am unable to write into it my write function is showing error ie it is returning -1...Is there anything wrong in the above code...
Seeing as you tagged this as C++, I'll give you the C++ answer.
From what I can tell from your code you have a struct x1
such that
struct {
int y;
char c;
};
And you wish to serialise it's state to and from disk, to do this we need to create some stream insertion and stream extraction opterators;
//insertions
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const x& x1) {
return os << x1.y << '\t' << x1.c;
}
//extration
std::istream& operator>>(std::istream& is, x& x1) {
return is >> x1.y >> x1.c;
}
Now to serailise the state of an x
we can do the following
x x1 { 29, 'A' };
std::ofstream file("rohit");
file << x1;
And to deserialise
x x1;
std::ifstream file("rohit");
file >> x1;
Here are two functions you can use if you want:
int store(char * filename, void * ptr, size_t size)
{
int fd, n;
fd = open(filename, O_CREAT | O_WRONLY, 0644);
if (fd < 0)
return -1;
n = write(fd, (unsigned char *)ptr, size);
if (n != size)
return -1;
close(fd);
return 0;
}
int restore(char * filename, void * ptr, size_t size)
{
int fd, n;
fd = open(filename, O_RDONLY, 0644);
if (fd < 0)
return -1;
n = read(fd, (unsigned char *)ptr, size);
if (n != size)
return -1;
close(fd);
return 0;
}
