Languages: c++/delphi

During the conversion of the efx extension for openal i come accros a struct that for the moment confuses me.

What is this? Is it a record, or is it a function? Or is it a record to an pointer?



typedef struct _EAXOBSTRUCTIONPROPERTIES
{
long lObstruction;
float flObstructionLFRatio;
} EAXOBSTRUCTIONPROPERTIES, *LPEAXOBSTRUCTIONPROPERTIES;

And most importanty how do i write this in delphi?

This i how i think it should be done, but i am NOT sure.


_EAXOBSTRUCTIONPROPERTIES = record
lObstruction: int64;
flObstruction: single;
end;
LPEAXOBSTRUCTIONPROPERTIES = ^_EAXOBSTRUCTIONPROPERTIES;

Yes, I think your version is correct, but I'd do it like this:


_EAXOBSTRUCTIONPROPERTIES = record
lObstruction: int64;
flObstruction: single;
end;
EAXOBSTRUCTIONPROPERTIES = _EAXOBSTRUCTIONPROPERTIES;
LPEAXOBSTRUCTIONPROPERTIES = ^EAXOBSTRUCTIONPROPERTIES;

Similar to what you can find in Windows.pas. ;)

C long = Delphi integer not int64

You are right, but I've seen a lot of translations, where long has been treated like Delphi's Int64.

It depends on the processor running the code. Normally long is just 32bit. long long on the other hand is 64.

Also, Don't forget to pack the record :wink:
