- peekProcString(): reads the specified amount of data at the specified address and returns it as std::string. An empty std::string is returned in case of error.
If length is 0, the function reads one byte at a time and stops when either '\0' is found or 3 seconds have passed.
The successfully read data is returned, also in case of error.
- peekProcVector(): can be used to read a dynamic array (size known at runtime) from the process' memory.
Dynamic arrays are part of C99, which should be supported by most compilers nowadays, but std::vector provides many advantages (e.g. easy resize) over a raw array.
- getVirtualFunction(): gets the address of a virtual function given its index and the class object's base address.
A macro called GET_POINTER_SIZE is added because "is64Bit ? 8 : 4" is used in two places now. Also, it's useful and intuitive for plugin(s) programmers.
- sinCos(): calculates sine and cosine of the specified value. On Linux the calculation is guaranteed to be simultaneous.
- degreesToRadians(): converts degrees to radians.
- isBigEndian(): returns whether the architecture is big-endian, by checking how a 4-byte value is stored in memory.
- networkToHost() converts from network byte order to host byte order.
I decided to create our own function because ntohs() is part of winsock(2).h on Windows, which means we would have to link to "ws2_32".
This commit also adds and makes use of the new "OS_WINDOWS" and "OS_LINUX" definitions.
The reason behind their existence is the "_WIN32" and "__linux__" definitions not being intuitive, mainly because they don't follow the same naming convention.
