Memcpy uint32_t and char* into char?

That's your problem. You should do *msg_ptr++* to go to next position (which is *msg_len*). Instead you change the pointer to point the 'a' within the msg string.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
