`c_char * 8`. Pointers (`c_void_p`, `POINTER(T)`, `c_char_p`) are stored as the address (an `int`,
|
|
58
|
-
0 = NULL) at pointer size; `to_ctypes()` gives a real pointer field you can dereference. The
|
|
59
|

address only means something inside the same process. Sizes follow the platform

|
-
| `obj.to_bytes()` / `Cls.from_bytes(data)` | binary; `from_bytes` needs exactly `sizeof()` bytes |
|
|
67
|
-
| `Cls.sizeof()` | size in bytes |
|
|
68
|
-
| `obj.to_dict()` / `Cls.from_dict(d)` | JSON-compatible dict (bytes as hex) |
|
|
69
|
-
| `obj.to_json(**kw)` / `Cls.from_json(s)` | `kw` goes to `json.dumps` |
|
|
70
|
-
| `obj.to_xml(indent=None)` / `Cls.from_xml(s)` | `<Packet><kind>1</kind>...</Packet>`, arrays as `<item>` |
|
|
71
|

| `obj.to_ctypes()` / `Cls.from_ctypes(c)` / `Cls.ctypes_type()` | `ctypes.Structure` with matching layout |
|

-
| `Cls.c_header()` | C source for the struct(s), nested ones first |

## Layout options

77
|
-
@firstclass(byteorder="big") # default "little"
|
|

|
-
@firstclass(align=True) # default False = packed, no padding (like __attribute__((packed)))
|

-
@firstclass(frozen=True, slots=True) # any dataclass option
|
|
80
|
-
```
|
|
81
|
-
|
|
82
|
-
`align=True` inserts natural-alignment padding like a normal C struct (assumes the x86-64 style
|
|
83
|
-
rule: alignment equals size). Padding bytes are written as zero and ignored on read.
|
|
84
|
-
C headers describe the struct only; C compilers use native byte order, so `byteorder` is noted

## Notes
|
|
88
|
-
|
|
89
|
-
- Fields with plain types (`str`, `int`) work for JSON/XML only; `to_bytes()` raises
|
|
90
|
-
`TypeError` naming the field.
|
|
91
|
-
- Use `from __future__ import annotations` freely; annotations are resolved lazily. Classes
|
|
92
|
-
defined inside functions that refer to local names are not resolvable.
|
|
93
|
-
- Don't parse untrusted XML with `from_xml` without extra care (stdlib `xml.etree`).
|
|
94
|
-
- Field names that collide with the generated methods (`to_bytes`, ...) raise `TypeError`.

## Example

`c_char * 8`. Pointers (`c_void_p`, `POINTER(T)`, `c_char_p`) are stored as the address (an `int`,
|
|
51
|
-
0 = NULL) at pointer size; `to_ctypes()` gives a real pointer field you can dereference. The
|
|
52
|

address only means something inside the same process. Sizes follow the platform

|
58
|
-
|---|---|
|

59
|
-
| `obj.to_bytes()` / `Cls.from_bytes(data)` | binary; `from_bytes` needs exactly `sizeof()` bytes |
|
|
60
|
-
| `Cls.sizeof()` | size in bytes |
|
|
61
|
-
| `obj.to_dict()` / `Cls.from_dict(d)` | JSON-compatible dict (bytes as hex) |
|
|
62
|
-
| `obj.to_json(**kw)` / `Cls.from_json(s)` | `kw` goes to `json.dumps` |
|
|
63
|
-
| `obj.to_xml(indent=None)` / `Cls.from_xml(s)` | `<Packet><kind>1</kind>...</Packet>`, arrays as `<item>` |
|
|
64
|
-
| `obj.to_ctypes()` / `Cls.from_ctypes(c)` / `Cls.ctypes_type()` | `ctypes.Structure` with matching layout |
|
|
65
|
-
| `Cls.c_header()` | C source for the struct(s), nested ones first |

|

@firstclass(byteorder="big") # default "little"

@firstclass(align=True) # default False = packed, no padding (like __attribute__((packed)))

@firstclass(frozen=True, slots=True) # any dataclass option
|
|
73
|

```
|
|
74
|
-
|
|
75
|
-
`align=True` inserts natural-alignment padding like a normal C struct (assumes the x86-64 style
|
|
76
|
-
rule: alignment equals size). Padding bytes are written as zero and ignored on read.
|
|
77
|

C headers describe the struct only; C compilers use native byte order, so `byteorder` is noted

## Notes
|
|
81
|
-
|
|
82
|
-
- Fields with plain types (`str`, `int`) work for JSON/XML only; `to_bytes()` raises
|
|
83
|
-
`TypeError` naming the field.
|
|
84
|
-
- Use `from __future__ import annotations` freely; annotations are resolved lazily. Classes
|
|
85
|
-
defined inside functions that refer to local names are not resolvable.
|
|
86
|
-
- Don't parse untrusted XML with `from_xml` without extra care (stdlib `xml.etree`).
|
|
87
|
-
- Field names that collide with the generated methods (`to_bytes`, ...) raise `TypeError`.
