Jochen you're right. From C11 standard - 6.7.2.1 Structure and union specifiers:
"An implementation may allocate any addressable storage unit large enough to hold a bitfield.
If enough space remains, a bit-field that immediately follows another bit-field in a
structure shall be packed into adjacent bits of the same unit. If insufficient space remains,
whether a bit-field that does not fit is put into the next unit or overlaps adjacent units is
implementation-defined. The order of allocation of bit-fields within a unit (high-order to
low-order or low-order to high-order) is implementation-defined. The alignment of the
addressable storage unit is unspecified."
So bitfields of same type will be packed together.
I can add that because this is often used for packing hardware registers fields in structures, it is very unlikely that it will change, or a lot of OS and driver code will need fixes...
P.S. the order of allocation is generally the same of processor endianess. On X86 (little endian) runs from low to high order.

Yes, you're right again. The ms standard is the most used because at least two compilers use it: MSVC++ and DigitalMarsC++ :(.

You're absolutely right, the MS mangling method is almost a de-facto standard, but not a standard anyway. Other compilers can implement different mangling, and in any case it is never a good practice to implement mangled names in exported symbols.

This is a complicate code for a first attempt to get a client/server working code.
IMO the problem is in the use of select after a connection is estabilished, it is powerful, but not handy. I suggest you to start to read incoming data without the select (this will be a blocking call because I think to have not seen a setting for not blocking).
If you need to handle more than one connection at time I suggest to use threading (also your code using select will not work anyway).
For a sample please look from my answer here: http://www.codeproject.com/Answers/987749/Is-it-possible-to-run-client-server-communication?arn=0#answer3

This is a good reason to start to learn ;-)
Moreover even without debugger you need to learn better how to implement program flows and function calls works.
Generally when a function is called you come back before to recall that function again, if you call it inside itself this is called recursion, and in this case you must check that the whole calling flow will stop after a while, or you'll fill the stack with return addresses up to overflow.
But you made something even worst: you have a couple of functions that call each other (GetChoice and Decider) without any control. The program workflow is inexistent and you continue to go in one function than inside the other without ever return...

Wireshark installs a driver that intercepts whole network traffic and for any address that can be seen from the connection (sniffing). The Driver is a complete package available in open source named 'WinPcap" (google for it). This is *not* the solution for your problems anyway.
The problems you have IMHO are not related to receive routines nor to the threads priorities. Maybe there are problems with buffer dimensions (ReceiveFrom() discards data if buffer is not sufficient to hold whole received data).

Simple functions to set or reset the Nth bit are based on this concept.
unsigned SetNthBit(unsigned val, unsigned cBitN)
{
return val | (1 << cBitN);
}
unsigned ResetNthBit(unsigned val, unsigned cBitN)
{
return val & ~(1 << cBitN);

Yes :), but only because the compiler by itself does the following:
1. Allocate 4 monodimensional char arrays and initialize them with the strings
2. Allocate an array of pointers and init it with the address of the 4 strings.
But it is *not* as a two dimensional array of chars, which layout in memory is the first array of chars, then the second, the third and the last one. And in the case of multidimensional arrays it is required that each array has the same dimension.
So if you have:
char *arr[4];
The memory layout is:
0023000 00231000 //address of string 1
0023004 00232000 //address of string 2
0023008 00450020 //address of string 3
002300c 00221344 //address of string 4
If you declare:
char arr[4][4] = {{'h', 'e', 'i', '\0'}, {'h', 'e', 'l', '\0'},{'h', 'a', 'i', '\0'},{'h', 'o', 'i', '\0'}};
and inspect the address of arr you'll find:
0023000 68 65 69 00 68 65 6c 00 68 61 69 00 68 6f 69 --- hei.hel.hai.hoi.
This is a C multidimensional array.

Cannot read the whole code, but the problem seems in the default precision that's why I suggested to specify a large precision to have more digits.
Evidently the CygWin version manages better the default precision, or the runtime holding the double to ascii conversion have a different default precision.

Yes, you're right, but, as stated also in the link provided, is not completely exact. An array name is equivalent to the address of the first element of the array, so it's a pointer to the element type. This small difference makes the trick when assigning values.
I.e. in the examples in my answer if you replace:
ptr1 = &arr;
with:
ptr1 = arr;
You will get an error from compiler, at least if it is ANSI compliant, like this:
error #2168: Operands of '=' have incompatible types 'int (*)[5]' and 'int *'
You can solve it with a cast:
(int *)ptr1 = arr;
But it's much more elegant, and correct, to use the right form.

We understood you, and I gave you the theory of how you should write in a window, and it works be sure about it.
So:
1. Make a simple program and check functionality of sample code, get familiar with it. If it don't work check your project, compiler and linker because there should be a problem somewhere.
2. Now use you creativity and wrote you code to obtain the goal.
In your case it could be:
LPTSTR SzToPrint[1024]; //a global variable holding the text to write
//PhysicalPrint physically prints to the window screen, called from WM_PAINT
void PhysicalPrint(HWND hwnd, HDC dc)
{
//Same as in the example, but instead of "Hello" prints the contents of SzToPrint
}
//Called by user to set what to print
void PrintMessage(HWND hwnd, LPTSTR szMsg)
{
_tcscpy_s(SzToPrint, 1024, szMsg);
UpdateWindow(hwnd);
}
Now put something from you...

Really strange, anyway looking again the disassemblies you have write in the question there a re 16 bytes missing in the Delphi one, the C procedure seems 16 bytes longer, and this make no sense. You may want to check again the delphi disassembly.
If the Delphi code is scrambled you should see a call somewhere in delphi source, or in DllMain, else there is a little stupid error you are doing in dynamically linking the procedure.

The assembler code you reported has a lot of errors, I don't know if the disassembler has problems or you made some transcription errors (if you manually wrote it).
But I can't see any reason for different dissassembly (the opcodes are absolutely different). And the C disassembly make much more sense than the Delphi one...
Try to create a disassembly of the whole dll using dumpbin with switch /DISASM. Redirect the output to a file.

Ok the debugger got an exception and passed it back to sw for handling, but it should say also what kind of exception is.
The sequence:
xor eax,eax
push ebp
push xxxxxxxxh //some exception handling address
push dword ptr fs:[eax]
mov dword ptr fs:[eax],esp
is used to set the structured exception handling (SEH), and the register fs points to the current TIB (at fs:[0] there is a pointer to an EXCEPTION_REGISTRATION structure). For more info see http://reverseengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/2895/delphi-pascal-try-except-finally-block.
But from your report it seems that you are looking to two completely different functions... :-( Are there multiple functions with similiar names in your DLL?

I forget to add that you can't use the voip connection to send anything else.
If you want exchange also text you have to open a new connection *using a new socket* and manage the data exchange on yourself.
Or write your own software to manage a voip+text connection. In this case it will be your duty to create a way to mark voice and text data in the indistinct stream of bytes flowing along the connection on both sides.

Each connection is generated and managed by its software. If the managing software is unaware of extraneous packets the connection broke.

The CPU used by your app may be used by another thread created inside the call that runs for a while before to die, or could be the OS housekeeping on memory in case of memory access exception. The debugger should tell you when the app under test is creating another thread.
What you mean for 'first chance exception'?
No doubt on the PAnsiChar, it is the C null terminated string, so it is correct. But looking to Delphi code I'm not sure that you're passing an ANSI string, maybe the problem is that it wants a widechar string, you could check. In this case the typedef should be:
typedef char DLL_IMPORT DCLINITIALIZE(char bDeviceId, wchar_t *pStr);
About the runtime don't know what to tell, eventually you can have a look at libraries loaded in Delphi...
This DLL is publicy available?

Thanks. You're right, there is a lot to say, but when I understood that he was using one of the obscure features of C I decided to comment that part, to make clear to novices that side and to explain that generally there is always another more correct way to do it ;)
At the end if you think about the whole issue it appears as an effort to complicate a simple matter. He just need a multidimensional array of pointers to char, a dimension for each language, and a single enum for languages, having also the benefit of direct access.

Sure the library name is undecorated. I refer to the decoration problem on C compiler side (and this could be correct using the 'extern C'). But I forget that even C will look for the decorated symbol DCL_Initialize@8 that doesn't exist in your library. What I don't understand is if you created an import library from the DLL or not. If you don't you'll never find aliased symbols.
Anyway using the GetProcedureAddress should solve the problem.
The not return problem can be related to parameters, as far as I know in C and Delphi they are pushed onto the stack in the same order (reversed respect as they are declared), but just to check you can try to reverse them in the function declaration.
Frankie-C

So this is before entering the DLL code.
What you should do to check for wrong calling convention is to find the return instruction and check if the function returns to a wrong address. If so there could be wrong calling convention or stack corruption. For the __stdcall convention you must encounter something as:
. mov esp,ebp
. pop ebp
. ret 8 //__stdcall cleans stack on return
Now you have 2 cases:
1. Your software never reaches the return -> wrong parameters, missing Delphi runtime or the like
2. After ret instruction you don't return to the calling point: wrong calling convention, stack corruption or wrong parammeters.
The program simply hung-up or you get an exception?

The name of the function then is 'DCL_Initialize' because you got it with podump.
The __imp_DCL_Initialize should exist because it is automatically created from the linker when builds the jump table.
The #pragma comment tells to the linker to include the import library DCL.lib, not to change symbol. You can remove it and add DCL.lib to the linker input files list.

1. Read a lot, be open mind, logic is philosophy. Don't believe your eyes, but your mind, or at least just believe on what is valid for both. (Yes follow also your heart, but we are talking of programming...)
2. Everybody are good to criticize and modify pre-existent work. But when you have nothing but the customer request and need to start from scratch, and there is no previous art nor experience, then ... you need creativity! Collect data and requirements, analyze, create, deploy.

5ed.
Numbers could be represented as a polynomial of powers of the base.
I.e. 13 = 1x10^1 + 3x10^0
When the base is 2 as in binary representation by shifting 1 is as moving a coefficient=1 to the polynomial value equal to the exponent.
So 1<<a is equivalent to 1x2^a

You're both right. It basically depends on what you have to synchronize.
Let's look at aspects of basic execution units, anything that is executing concurrently is a thread (you can dynamically break a thread in subthreads called fibres, but they acts as threads again). The process is only the environment in which a thread executes. we say each process has a private, isolated environment, but in machine terms it is only a different configuration of same resource, memory, through the use of MMU.
At task manager level each thread switching imply switching of its context too, that really means the process.
Anyway in a bunch of running threads each resource or even, and you have not considered it, shared interprocess memory can be a resource concurrently accessed by threads intra or inter process.
In plain words that's why exists so many event and sync objects that works between process.

I think that we have not understood what you're asking.
They already explained you that the function 'strlen()' don't work for what you are doing. Its name is the contraction for 'string+length', and its scope is to find the length of a string of characters, not how many values you have put into a generic array.
When you declare an array it is instanced with the number of elements that you asked for in the declaration, in you case 100 integers.
Your code is not working:
1. Where is defined the variable i ?
2. In the do-while loop you write the result always in b[i] (and i is undefined).
3. In C arrays are zero based, meaning that they starts from 0. For an array of 100 elements the correct indexes are in the range 0-99 included. b[100] is an error!
4. From what we see (points 1,2 & 3) b[100] will never get any value
Please improve your question and your code if you want an answer.

Yes sometimes they are written in 'C', but this doesn't mean that an assembler transforms an assembler source in 'C'. Often (or always) a 'C' compiler transforms 'C' code to assembler :)
The assembler get a symbolic description of instruction and implements it in machine code. If in assembler you reserve a memory operand then use it the assembler does:
1. Remember the address where your variable should be and associate it to variable name.
2. When found the operation that uses the variable address put the machine code for the operation replacing the address with the one saved before.
The machine code emitted is appropriate to handle the operand size (BYTE, WORD, DWORD, etc..)

Assembler use also DWORDs, QWORDs, etc.
But the point is another: what is the sense of checking something declared in 'C'?
In you sample you declared a variable of type 'int' which size, in 'C', is 4 bytes, so you will always get 4.
If your question is how can detect dimension of variables declared in an assembly module using another language, the answer is: you can't.
If the module is compiled there is no way to get this information, if you have sources you have to declare manually that variable with correct type in the other language.
If you want to check if a value fits in a type Carlo gave you an example of how you can do.

More or less.
You still consider only 2 actions toward a variable: declaration and initialization. But they are 3: declaration, initialization and instantiate.
When you declare a variable you tell to the compiler that exists a variable of that type with that properties, the initialization allows you to assign an initial value to the variable. The compiler can decide to instantiate a variable (effectively create it) depending on the declaration.
Declaring a variable as extern doesn't instruct the compiler to *create* the variable. It can only get some information without creating any instance of the variable.
But when you make a declaration having an initialization you are telling to the compiler to *create* the variable, but it cannot because the position is wrong. That is the reason of the error.
Now if the answer satisfy you accept it, else I really don't know how to explain better.

The fact that the compiler doesn't give you an error when you don't try to initialize the variable doesn't mean that *you are allowed to use extern in a function body*!

for (i = 0; i < PATH_MAX; i++)

A file path is a string, and you can assign to whatever is a character array. The problem is that the compiler refuses to init a char array with a string constant. Modify this way:
//Build a full filename with path
char Filename[PATH_MAX];
strcpy(filename, "/home/sosdt009/Desktop");
strcat( Fullfilename,Filename);

My first expectation was the same as you, but unfortunately we have not considered that the compiler cannot emit a continuous stream of bits strictly chained each other, so it uses the bit-field type change to break between storage parts. In fact the type of bit-field is used to define the size of container storage, and as per ANSI standard the bit-field cannot exceed the size of the type.
The same standards (C99, C11, C++11) says that the way the data is layed up in memory is compiler dependent, so we cannot force the compiler behavior to what is correct for us.
I have also noticed that you have already set packing to 1 because you got a result of 3 bytes, without it the space used is 4 bytes (for reason of bus access on odd addresses). Anyway the packing acts only on alignement between structure fields not on bit fields.
I started programming on DEC machines and have used structures to define hardware registers (where group of bits in the same register word had specific meanings) and had never had this problem. But I used always the same type for bit-fields, that solve your problem also.
I made some checks on different compilers, and the result is more or less the same: if you change the type it moves to next storage byte (some compiler doesn't even accept shorts and chars as types, but strictly adhere to ANSI standard that provides for signed and unsigned integers).
I'm sorry, but there is no other workaround for MSVC that using the same type for bit-fields that have to be in the same storage area. But what is your problem anyway? A char is a signed integer max size = 8bits and short is a signed integer too, but 16 bits max size. Declaring both as short works well afterall...
P.S. Reading again your answer I would advice you: have you noticed that you are not using same data type in bit-field (a char and a short)!

to avoid confusion to the beginner would be better to use the correct terms:
The AND operator performs a logical AND operation between each couple of bits occupying the same position in the two operands and producing the result in the same bit position in the result. I.e. 010101 AND 101100 = 000100.
The AND operation is *not* a comparison.
It is sometimes called *masking* operation because, due to the AND operation nature, you can craft a *mask* where all bits set to 1 are reported on ther esult, while bits set to 0 are masked to 0. I.e. 01010101 AND 11110000 = 01010000 => the first upper 4 bits are reported as they are because the mask have that bits set, while the lower 4 bits are set to 0 because the mask have that bits to 0.

When no bug appears in debugging session in 99% of cases the problem is an uninitialized pointer or variable (under debug the bss section of executables is initialized to 0 by OS).
I suggest you to have a better look on pointers and variables (i.e. if you check a pointer to be null to reinitialize it, and you have never initialized it to null on first run, the code will work well under debug, but will crash under normal execution with memory exception).

Rajinesh it is very simple: the storage attribute applies to the whole structure, meaning that all variables inside the structure get the attribute. But in your structure you have declared a *pointer* to a struct, not a struct! So the pointer is permanent and holds indefinitely the value you have set into it, but the nested structure referred by the pointer have *its own storage class* as you put in the declaration.
In my example I declared the substructure at module level to make it permanent, if you create it with GC allocation, or as an automatic variable (created on the stack of a procedure) oof course you will fail to access it when, respectively, the GC recollects memory or when you leave the function.
To dynamically create the structures you can follow the example from pwasser uusing the new operator in C++, or you can use the malloc(sizeof(structure)); in C.
If this satisfy your question please accept the answers.

I think this is really a waste of time. The last sentence is:
"will the nestedfirst structure value will remain available between different file(.c) calls, say i initialized it at file1.c and move to file2.c then comeback to file1.cs will i find its value unchanged if not what should i do to make it happen."
Have you seen "say i initialized it at file1.c ..." we have to suppose that he has initialized everything :-).
What nf is pointed to is something that he has managed, if he put a pointer to a struct he has to update that pointer, if he doesn't do that he will have a memory problem, not different data between modules.
In my opinion he has simply declared the same variable in different modules, that leads to different instances, one for each module, each one with its own data.
We are criticizing our answers while no clarification is coming from user. His poor english (even worst than mine :-)) lets open any interpretation.
Even in your solution the use of 'static' on the pointer declaration can be opinablle if that pointer have to be shared between modules it will be not, or will trigger a compiler error if declared 'extern' also... ;-)

Dear Anurag, the implementation of parallel execution, or better defined as concurrent execution, is not as simple unfortunately. I had the wrong impression that you were a little bit more skilled, and from your answer I deduced that the problem could simply be related to variables to handle locally (as with thread local storage), but now I think that it will be a not easy to give you a concise and specific answer.
I can only give you some guidelines for concurrent tasking (multithread objects access).
First of all consider that all your threads will access variables, values, etc in any time and any order. This means that you cannot assume the flow of execution of your functions as sequencial and finite. You have to expect that a variable or whatever object can change unexpectedly.
What you have to do: analyze your software flow to avoid uncontrolled access to shared objects (fence the access using sync, mutex or the like), and check that local or temp variables or objects are really local and cannot be altered from other threads.
But the most important point is: your software can really make parallel operations? Because if a computation depends on the previous one it mast be serially executed (i.e. if you compute a new value and use it for the next computation you have a naturally serial execution flow and simply cannot make it parallel!).

Dear Rajneesh I thinnk that you have not fully understood what I said. This maybe is in part my fault so I'll try to be more clear.
In my example:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
typedef _tagMyStruct
{
int a;
struct _tag_Struct2
{
float c;
int d
} MySecondStruct;
} MyExampleStruct;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The inner struct _tag_Struct2 is fully defined *inside* the main structure _tagMyStruct and int this case also struct _tag_Struct2, with all his members, will be statically allocated.
The way you declared your structure:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
struct eg {
struct nestedstruct *nsvar;
int n;
};
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The structure itself will be allocated statically (permanent), same allocation will have the integer n and the *pointer* to structure nestedstruct. The pointer, *not* the structure nestedstruct. If you want to make nestedstruct static also you have to insert in your structure the whole nested structure, not a pointer to it!
Is it clear now?

You don't have nested structures in your example, but pointers to other structures.

Anyway maybe worth a more detailed explanation.
pop() get and remove the value from the stack that is no more available.
I.e in the case:
if(stk.pop() > Max)
{
Max = stk.pop(); // This statement looks Wierd..
}
you get the value from stack, compare it to Max, and, if it is bigger you assign to Max the *next stack value* (not the one you compared that is no more available on the stack).
With the proposed solution the correct value is assigned to Max.

Consider that it is very improbable to read something and write a GIMP like photo editor, but this was done anyway by years of study, practice and trial.
If you're so committed in trying to reach the goal as you are in your report above I'm sure that in these months you got so many knowledge, even if still not enough, that others would have took 2-3 times more time. And you're not even aware of this.
Try to make a balance of what you were able to do before to start and now ;-)

See update of my previous comment.
Your code while working is too simple.
You should start your connection transfering a small buffer containing file name and its dimension in bytes, than after an acknowledge from client (that can be simply retransmission of the received buffer), you can start transfer in small chunks (I suggest 512bytes each because is the minimum size supported by ethernet frame). The client can read each received block and store it up to reaching the final size.

But you haven't told us which errors you get when running on different machines. Or everything runs flat with no errors and simply you don't find the file?
I think the problem is that the send/receive functions doesn't handle the whole buffer you have filled with data in one call, you have to check if all data has been sent and recall receive or send if required.
When client and server runs on the same machine probably it works because it become a pipe more than a connection and memory is interconnected by machine bus, but when sending on the wire then the network physical media come in and the bandwidth becomes smaller. Here something can change.

I think that there is a big confusion here... :)
To make a connection don't means that you can transfer files unless you add code for file transfer.
I don't see such code in your program, and I'm really curious now: what exactly you do to 'transfer a file'?

You already solved, but for sake of precision I'll detail it better:
The server is waiting for incoming connections, and it waits for connections at local machine address. Putting INADDR_ANY as address for the server means wait for connections and manage all of them directed to *this* machine (localhost is always referred gto local machine IP address).
On the client side however you cannot say connect to a server on localhost address (that is the machine where the client is running, but not the server). You must specify the address where the connection should look for the server.
I hope it is clear now.

In your original code you messed up the conditions for 'correct' value and 'wrong' one.
in the line:
if ((h1 < '0' || h1 > '2') || (h2 < '0' || h2 > '9') || (m1 < '0' || m1 > '5') || (m2 < '0' || m2 > '9'))
you checked all wrong conditions, you must have returned immediatly as 'wrong' format. But you added another check:
if (h1 == '2' && h2 greater than '3')
So all wrong inputs, but not having hour bigger that 23 become correct ;-)
Maybe in your checks reverting the conditions you got an error again making wrong all 'correct' values less than 23.
The correct coding of your test should have been:
if ((h1 < '0' || h1 > '2') || (h2 < '0' || h2 > '9') || (m1 < '0' || m1 > '5') || (m2 < '0' || m2 > '9'))
{
printf("The time is not in the format HH:MM.");
return 1;
}
else if (h1 == '2' && h2 > '3')
{
printf("The time is not in the format HH:MM.");
return 1;
}

As general rule, for all systems and all languages, always *be sure* that your code have no polling! On any decent OS there is always a waiting primitive that allows to your app to give back control to OS and suspend use of CPU. Then the OS will call your app back to life when conditions is on.
A polling just keep the CPU running consuming power...

Your approach is wrong. You can't try to code all possible distribution of formats in the string, result: there will always be a reason for the function to fail.
First of all don't put more statements on the same line the readability is terrible and coding errors are more difficult to trace even debugging.
Try to rewrite your function in a sequential form: look for the format specifier % each cycle copying to output all chars before you find a %.
When you find it make the conversion and add it to the result.
About your use of dynamic memory it is not optimized. Try allocating a reasonable large buffer at beginning, than check if you still have space to add something and if not reallocate still adding a reasonable chunk (the optimum value should always be the page allocation of the system where you are working. I.e. 4096 for x86). Consider that each time you reallocate memory the system could choose a different physical memory and have to copy all your data on the new memory and this is time consuming (a good MM generally don't do this reusing physical pages and mapping them on a new contiguous address, but you can't exclude it!).

I've no direct experience on AIX, but the command for not blocking sockets should be FIBNREAD.
I wondered that another reason for select to signal data when it is not present could be the presence of Out-Of-Band data. On some systems it is possible to set socket to ignore OOB data, or you can try to intercept the SIGURG signal.

The code blocks until no data is available. In some cases when no data is received the recv will stuck.
Have considered to use non blocking mode, or more easy to use a select to check for data availability? Select permits you to set a timeout.
Moreover check your code on received data, the use of stpcpy suppose that the received data always ends with a nul. Because you are not guarantee that the whole data block sent will be received in one cycle maybe you get something not ended by nul that when passed to string routines can lead to a memory violation.
More safely you can use stpncpy, passing the received chars len.

Yes, it works, but is 8086 pure 16 bits code.
You cannot compile it under a 32 bits OS because of the pointers size.
To use it under 32 bits OS you have to change pointers size:
mov esi, arr ;register si points to base array
xor bx,bx ;BX=0
mov al, BYTE PTR[ROW]
cmp al, BYTE PTR[ESI+BX] ;make comparison, address is SI(=arr)+BX(=index)
je IsEqual ;Match
For 64 bits OS:
mov rsi, arr ;register si points to base array
xor bx,bx ;BX=0
mov al, BYTE PTR[ROW]
cmp al, BYTE PTR[RSI+BX] ;make comparison, address is RSI(=arr)+BX(=index)
je IsEqual ;Match
Thanks for the 5...

If you read unicode chars you have to be sure to read complete wide chars (2 bytes) this could be accomplished by allocating buffer as wchar_t or an even number of bytes.
The conversion from big endian to little endian must be the simple swap of high order byte and low order byte of the wchar_t. Something as:
wchar_t SwapWchar(wchar_t wc)
{
wchar_t u = wc >> 8;
return (wc << 8) & u;
}
Using the former conversion that used 32 bits vars on the last conversion would have swapped up to 2 bytes not belonging to the buffer yet the stack corruption.
If this solves your problem please accept the solution.

What I see is a big mess. First of all the functions above are converting from double word (32 bits), unicode chars are word wide (16 bits).
Now please answer these questions:
1) You are reading on byte basis, and the number of bytes read is only dependent on the buffer size that you specify?
2) Your input stream is in big endian format and you need to converti it to little endian (INTEL)?
3) Your buffer size is always even?
Please post a comment not other solutions.
