In c, struct variables must be declared by a combination. As such, it is often used to simplify the syntax of declaring complex data structures consisting of struct and union types, but is just as common in providing specific descriptive type names for integer data types of varying lengths. I dont know of any way to automatically generate a cluster from a c struct, but if you manually create a cluster that matches your struct it may need to contain dummy padding bytes and unfortunately i dont know enough to help with that and you accept the value from the dll as an array of bytes, you can typecast that to your cluster data type. Objective c resize uiimage objective c resize uiimage i just want to resize the image on the touch detection.
