datatype misalignment

[Dan East]

That would work, but the additional overhead of calling memcpy to copy 4 bytes is not worth it. I would (and did) just copy the bytes over one at time.<br><br>Dan East

sure, i totally agree. but if rob is having difficulty with the btye copy, and this is only being called once in a load file function where the speed penalty is irrelevant maybe its the best solution.<br><br>the byte copy is clearly best, and shouldnt be too hard to get working.

Would this help?<br><br>*(__unaligned ULONG*)p = wadfiles->filesize;<br>p += sizeof(ULONG);<br><br>The advantage of this is that the compiler generates the code inline to do what Dan did with the shifting and byte loading (stores in your case).<br><br><br>Sorry about my wisecracks before.  I should add to my list of New Year's resolutions to hold off posting a message for 30 mins or so after I type it.  That would make me think twice about posting such drivel.  I suppose I was a bit frustrated that I couldn't seem help you solve your problem when the answer was so obvious to me.<br><br>

That's cool.  Yeah, guess I was a little frustrated too.  If I hadn't stopped to fix the palette, I probably would have tossed my 720 out the window (In a well protected case of course so it wouldn't get injured).  Let's hope this works.

You can put a fork in this thread because it is done.  Thanks Digby, your last sugestion works like a charm.
