C read binary stdin

Question

I\'m trying to build an instruction pipeline simulator and I\'m having a lot of trouble getting started. What I need to do is read binary from stdin, and then store it in me

Answer 1

I don't know what OS you are running, but you typically cannot "open stdin in binary". You can try things like

int fd = fdreopen (fileno (stdin), outfname, O_RDONLY | OPEN_O_BINARY);

to try to force it. Then use

uint32_t opcode;
read(fd, &opcode, sizeof (opcode));

But I have no actually tried it myself. :)
