#93721 - You can see from the Raghu example... Responding to: ???'s previous message |
You can see from Raghu's example how he has used the union to compose a long value from an array of chars. His example is a common way to use a union on a particular platform when it is known what order the compiler stores the constituent parts of a long. Do note that the scheme on another platform may require a different coding if a long were an 8-byte number or if the stored order of bytes was different.
