4 /* Public domain implementation for endianness detection and byte ordering on
5 several platforms. In case the concept of public domain does not exist
6 under your jurisdiction, you can consider it to be dual licensed
7 under the MIT, Apache and WTFPL licenses.
9 Grab it and drop it into your project, include it and use
10 the following macros to determine endianness:
12 ENDIANNESS_LE, ENDIANNESS_BE
14 e.g. #if ENDIANNESS_LE ...
16 or, even nicer without littering your code with #ifdefs:
18 if (ENDIANNESS_BE) { big_endian_code(); } else { little_endian_code(); }
20 ... since the compiler can optimize away unused branches, this makes your
21 code easier to read while not loosing any of the advantage of using
22 conditional compilation, plus you get a free compile-time check of the
23 unused code path (rarely used conditonally compiled code paths often get
24 defunct over time if nobody checks them all the time).
26 To debug this header yourself, you can define ENDIANNESS_DEBUG to see
27 warnings from where we take the defs for the specific target.
29 If you need only the conversion functions from big to little endian
30 and vice versa, you may want to #define ENDIANNESS_PORTABLE_CONVERSION
31 prior to including this header. That way, when the endiannes can't be
32 determined at compile time, the code will fallback to a slower,
33 but portable version of those functions.
34 However, if using it, it's not guaranteed that ENDIANNESS_LE/BE
36 Most people however need only the conversion functions in their code,
37 so if you stick to them you can safely turn the portable conversion on.
