packgen: generate C struct packing and unpacking
One small step above casting a buffer to a struct.
This is a tool takes a file containing struct type definitions and generates routines to pack and unpack the structures.
Assumptions made by the generator:
- structs you want to unpack are
typedef'd - contain no anonymous embedded structs (this assumption should be easily removed if needed)
- C99 fixed width types are used (you really should use these everywhere that might be exposed)
- no variable length data
If you are designing a communication protocol, don't use this. Use something like protobuf, msgpack, or json
