Re: UINT Serialisation

Hi,

I have a bug in some of my predecessors code, i am trying to fix it, but i
dont understand how it works in the first place. perhaps someone can help.

I have this object.

class MY_CLASS
{
public:
MY_CLASS ();
UINT var1:3;

UINT var2:1;
UINT var3:1;
UINT var4:1;
UINT var5:1;
UINT var6:1;
UINT var7:1;
UINT var8:1;
UINT var9:8;
UINT var10:14;
friend CArchive& operator << ( CArchive& os, MY_CLASS &);
friend CArchive& operator >> ( CArchive& is, MY_CLASS &);
};

now in the read and writing methods represented by >> and <<
are this

CArchive& operator >> ( CArchive& is, MY_CLASS &myclass)
{
UINT ddata;
is.GetFile()->Read (&ddata, sizeof (UINT));
*((UINT*)&myclass)) = ddata;
return is;
}
CArchive& operator >> ( CArchive& is, MY_CLASS &myclass)
{

UINT ddata;
ddata = *((UINT*)&myclass);
os.Write (&ddata, sizeof (UINT));
}

First I cant find anywhere that will tell me what the semi colons after
the
variable names mean?
and secondly How can 1 UINT be equal to 10? I have two of these MY_CLASS
objects saved and consequently loaded in. It appears to work fine for the
first one but not the second, any ideas?

Many thanks
