7 /* Functions for reading and writing integers in various endiannesses. */
9 /*
10 * The classes LittleEndian and BigEndian expose static methods for
11 * reading and writing 16-, 32-, and 64-bit signed and unsigned integers
12 * in their respective endianness. The naming scheme is:
14 * {Little,Big}Endian::{read,write}{Uint,Int}<bitsize>
16 * For instance, LittleEndian::readInt32 will read a 32-bit signed
17 * integer from memory in little endian format. Similarly,
18 * BigEndian::writeUint16 will write a 16-bit unsigned integer to memory
19 * in big-endian format.
21 * The class NativeEndian exposes methods for conversion of existing
22 * data to and from the native endianness. These methods are intended
23 * for cases where data needs to be transferred, serialized, etc.
24 * swap{To,From}{Little,Big}Endian byteswap a single value if necessary.
25 * Bulk conversion functions are also provided which optimize the
26 * no-conversion-needed case:
28 * - copyAndSwap{To,From}{Little,Big}Endian;
29 * - swap{To,From}{Little,Big}EndianInPlace.
31 * The *From* variants are intended to be used for reading data and the
32 * *To* variants for writing data.
34 * Methods on NativeEndian work with integer data of any type.
35 * Floating-point data is not supported.
37 * For clarity in networking code, "Network" may be used as a synonym
38 * for "Big" in any of the above methods or class names.
40 * As an example, reading a file format header whose fields are stored
41 * in big-endian format might look like:
43 * class ExampleHeader
44 * {
45 * private:
46 * uint32_t magic;
47 * uint32_t length;
48 * uint32_t totalRecords;
49 * uint64_t checksum;
51 * public:
52 * ExampleHeader(const void* data) {
53 * const uint8_t* ptr = static_cast<const uint8_t*>(data);
54 * magic = BigEndian::readUint32(ptr); ptr += sizeof(uint32_t);
55 * length = BigEndian::readUint32(ptr); ptr += sizeof(uint32_t);
56 * totalRecords = BigEndian::readUint32(ptr); ptr += sizeof(uint32_t);
57 * checksum = BigEndian::readUint64(ptr);
58 * }
59 * ...
60 * };
