Member Function Documentation

WP_Endian* WPCG::WP_Endian::getInstance   [inline, static]
 

this function returns a pointer to the only instance of this class (singleton)

Returns:
a pointer to the only instance of this class

void WPCG::WP_Endian::getTypedData void *    destination,
byte *&    buffer,
int    size
 

this function gets a specific type of size size from memory pointed to by the buffer pointer, for example to get an int from memory

Parameters:
destination  a void pointer to a variable in which the read memory data will be stored
buffer  a reference to a pointer pointing to the memory buffer holding the image file
size  the number of bytes to be read from memory


Member Data Documentation

bool WPCG::WP_Endian::little_endian
