The Wiert Corner - irregular stream of stuff: jpluimers

A while ago I was involved in a C header file translation for the header files of the IBM WebSphere MQ family of products, and the table helped a lot for the base types:

Delphi to C++ types mapping – RAD Studio XE2.

A few C things missing there:

• unsigned short (Delphi: Word)
• unsigned char (Delphi: Byte)

These articles helped resolving the missing bits:

• Integer (computer science) – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
• Internal Data Formats (Delphi) – RAD Studio XE2.
• c++ – What is an unsigned char? – Stack Overflow.

Now we can do SOA between System i (a.k.a. iSeries, aka AS/400) from Windows 7.
