Fix msvc compilation #70

Closed JohannesKauffmann closed 2 years ago

JohannesKauffmann commented 2 years ago

While #47 greatly improved the Windows experience, the current master cannot be build with MSVC.

There are three issues here:

  1. VLAs are not supported at all by MSVC (not valid ISO C++)
  2. Designated initializers are C++20 only (GCC currently allows it with compiler extensions)
  3. By default, windows.h #defines min and max, which conflict with std::numeric_limits::min and max.

For 1, I already found it weird that the contents of the input string and vector (CipBaseString constructor and toStdString respectively) are copied into a temporary (VLA) buffer, after which they are copied again, to _data and the returned string. To work around, just use memcpy to copy the contents.

For 2, either the C++ standard needs to be bumped to C++20, or the designated initializers need to be removed (#ifdef-ed out?).

No. 3 is trivial to fix; it requires #define NOMINMAX (but it affects the examples and tests as well).

Let me know what you think.

Thank you for the contribution.

I have no problem with this. I'll go ahead and merge and we'll fix with new pull request if it causes any issues

Hi,

Thanks for the contribution, however this PR breaks the implementation of CipBaseString. E.g. with discovery the product name is now empty.

Vector/string.reserve() only requests a change in capacity, not in size and thus e.g. functions such as .empty() or .size() fail in all where this is used. E.g. vector/string.resize() is required in the constructor and string getter to be able to use size/length functions.

Created a PR #73 - std::copy can be used freely here, both std::memcpy and std::copy implicitly cast char to uint8. Since the vector is always properly resized now, we can safely use begin/end for copy actions (i.e. _length is not used aside from it being required for the ShortString type).
