c++ function overloading, making fwrite/fread act like PHP versions
- by Newbie
I'm used to the PHP fwrite/fread parameter orders, and i want to make them the same in C++
too.
I want it to work with char and string types, and also any data type i put in it (only if length is defined).
I am total noob on c++, this is what i made so far:
size_t fwrite(FILE *fp, const std::string buf, const size_t len = SIZE_MAX){
if(len == SIZE_MAX){
return fwrite(buf.c_str(), 1, buf.length(), fp);
}else{
return fwrite(buf.c_str(), 1, len, fp);
}
}
size_t fwrite(FILE *fp, const void *buf, const size_t len = SIZE_MAX){
if(len == SIZE_MAX){
return fwrite((const char *)buf, 1, strlen((const char *)buf), fp);
}else{
return fwrite(buf, 1, len, fp);
}
}
Should this work just fine? And how should this be done if i wanted to do it the absolutely best possible way?
