Hi there,
I'm using visual c 2006.I have one main struct and one small pipe struct in PC1.The same main struct and the same pipe struct i have in PC2.In PC2 i have one GUI.
Before if one variable i'm injecting in GUI,i used to send the entire struct to PC1 through ETHERNET. This causes congestion problem in ethernet side.So now we created the pipe struct,means the attributes required to represent the variable i'm mapping to this pipe struct and i'm sending it to ethernet.

In the receiving side PC1 i'll check the pipe struct size and my goal is to affect the main struct .I can assign the rcving pipe struct to my local pipe struct.How shall i affect the main struct???

The pipe struct consists of different data types...

Solution 1

You may do a memberwise copy from the pipe struct to the main one. Of course you need to know the definitions of both the structs. Exploiting struct definitions knowledge you may possibly find more efficient solutions.
