marshalling

[grv575]

What size should I use to get an equivalent C struct for the type bool? i.e. struct { DWORD a; bool b; } s; would be struct s { int a; // bool a; or char a; or byte a; ? } ...what's the best way to marshal C bools?

leppie::AllocCPArticle(Generic DFA State Machine for .NET);

unsigned char or int? :) What's more common (VC 6 i guess, if anyone can check)

What does it say in the header file? It all depends how that implementation is defining it.

Wish I knew. I deleted VS6 and am not keen on reinstalling it. In any case I'm almost certain it's typedef int bool or typedef enum { false, true } bool. Either way, it looks like I need a dword size field.
