How can I convert

uchar bytes[8];

to a ulong ?

 #include <TypeToBytes.mqh> // https://www.mql5.com/ru/code/16280

void OnStart()
{
  uchar bytes[8];
  
  ulong Value = 0;  
  _W(Value) = bytes;
}

I am using MT5.. not sure what version but fairly recent.

I got an error something like "initialization for array sequence needed"

for

STRUCT_READ<T1> Res = {0};

so it would not compile.. there was also some other error further down that I forget.

both went away when I changed it to = {};

I have not tested the code yet ... I'm guessing this is ok

Closing opened order after MT5 Indicator , converted Has anyone got this

Alternatively	template<typename From, typename To> void reinterpret_cast(const From& f, To& t){ union _u{ From from; const To to; } u; u.from=f; t=u.to; }

In the codebase, updated versions of the sources can only be obtained by manually clicking on MQ5/MQH-files.
