However, I seem to remember the WinPcap developers saying that passing
FILE *'s and even "file descriptors" (as returned by _open(), _fdopen(),
etc.) across binary boundaries is problematic as well.
Yes. It's the same as malloc/free. You need to use the various FILE
functions (fopen and such) coming from the CRT. Or better, if you obtain a
FILE pointer from a CRT X, you need to use to call the FILE functions coming
from that specific CRT X on *that* FILE pointer. I'm not sure about file
descriptors (_open), but I think it's the same. I'd check on the MSDN docs
to be sure.
Have a nice day
