Re: SSL Socket Client

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree, this one is totally confusing.  (1 << 0) means take the byte on the
left, and shift it's bits to the left 0 times, resulting in 1.  I would
expect

#define SSL_ENCRYPT_MASK 1
or
#define SSL_ENCRYPT_MASK 0x01

to do the exact same thing.  (0x01 meaning hex value, a little more self
documenting saying this is a bit mask).

The only thing I can think of, maybe at one time it was something like
(1<<4) or something, and kept changing 'til it became (1<<0) and was left
that way.

Well, this one is cute. It's a bitwise shift left, meaning that the
value on the left has its bits shifted to the left the numbe of
positions on the right. This thing DOES nothing, but may have meaning in
some particualr context. I don't know enough C to tell you more.

The value is 1, probably a 4-byte integer (B9 in RPG).

Hope I'm right  ;-)
