Define a dedicated OnDiskData structure for each on-disk structure. This must match the on-disk layout, except for endianness, which is handled by _SwapEndian methods. These structure are "plain old data" so we can use offsetof on them. They are wrapped in an easier to use C++ API. This resolves a lot of problems with the previous code: warnings caused by the use of offsetof as well as a much simpler instanciation of the objects from on-disk data. Also fixed another problem with UUIDs, where the UUIDs were handled by pointers in a lot of place where it was not necessary. Use references instead. The V4 structures which don't have an UUID will return a "null" (zero-filled) one.

Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
