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

For Windows, this Microsoft _setmode example specifically shows how to change stdin to binary mode:

// crt_setmode.c
// This program uses _setmode to change
// stdin from text mode to binary mode.

#include 
#include 
#include 

int main( void )
{
   int result;

   // Set "stdin" to have binary mode:
   result = _setmode( _fileno( stdin ), _O_BINARY );
   if( result == -1 )
      perror( "Cannot set mode" );
   else
      printf( "'stdin' successfully changed to binary mode\n" );
}
