    copied!<p>I have this code that allow me to convert from HOST_ENDIAN_ORDER (whatever it is) to LITTLE_ENDIAN_ORDER or BIG_ENDIAN_ORDER. I use a template, so if I try to convert from HOST_ENDIAN_ORDER to LITTLE_ENDIAN_ORDER and they happen to be the same for the machine for wich I compile, no code will be generated.</p> <p>Here is the code with some comments:</p> <pre><code>// We define some constant for little, big and host endianess. Here I use // BOOST_LITTLE_ENDIAN/BOOST_BIG_ENDIAN to check the host indianess. If you // don't want to use boost you will have to modify this part a bit. enum EEndian { LITTLE_ENDIAN_ORDER, BIG_ENDIAN_ORDER, #if defined(BOOST_LITTLE_ENDIAN) HOST_ENDIAN_ORDER = LITTLE_ENDIAN_ORDER #elif defined(BOOST_BIG_ENDIAN) HOST_ENDIAN_ORDER = BIG_ENDIAN_ORDER #else #error "Impossible de determiner l'indianness du systeme cible." #endif }; // this function swap the bytes of values given it's size as a template // parameter (could sizeof be used?). template &lt;class T, unsigned int size&gt; inline T SwapBytes(T value) { union { T value; char bytes[size]; } in, out; in.value = value; for (unsigned int i = 0; i &lt; size / 2; ++i) { out.bytes[i] = in.bytes[size - 1 - i]; out.bytes[size - 1 - i] = in.bytes[i]; } return out.value; } // Here is the function you will use. Again there is two compile-time assertion // that use the boost librarie. You could probably comment them out, but if you // do be cautious not to use this function for anything else than integers // types. This function need to be calles like this : // // int x = someValue; // int i = EndianSwapBytes&lt;HOST_ENDIAN_ORDER, BIG_ENDIAN_ORDER&gt;(x); // template&lt;EEndian from, EEndian to, class T&gt; inline T EndianSwapBytes(T value) { // A : La donnée à swapper à une taille de 2, 4 ou 8 octets BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(sizeof(T) == 2 || sizeof(T) == 4 || sizeof(T) == 8); // A : La donnée à swapper est d'un type arithmetic BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(boost::is_arithmetic&lt;T&gt;::value); // Si from et to sont du même type on ne swap pas. if (from == to) return value; return SwapBytes&lt;T, sizeof(T)&gt;(value); } </code></pre>
