/* Functions for reading and writing integers in various endiannesses. */
/*
* The classes LittleEndian and BigEndian expose static methods for
* reading and writing 16-, 32-, and 64-bit signed and unsigned integers
* in their respective endianness. The addresses read from or written
* to may be misaligned (although misaligned accesses may incur
* architecture-specific performance costs). The naming scheme is:
*
* {Little,Big}Endian::{read,write}{Uint,Int}<bitsize>
*
* For instance, LittleEndian::readInt32 will read a 32-bit signed
* integer from memory in little endian format. Similarly,
* BigEndian::writeUint16 will write a 16-bit unsigned integer to memory
* in big-endian format.
*
* The class NativeEndian exposes methods for conversion of existing
* data to and from the native endianness. These methods are intended
* for cases where data needs to be transferred, serialized, etc.
* swap{To,From}{Little,Big}Endian byteswap a single value if necessary.
* Bulk conversion functions are also provided which optimize the
* no-conversion-needed case:
*
* - copyAndSwap{To,From}{Little,Big}Endian;
* - swap{To,From}{Little,Big}EndianInPlace.
*
* The *From* variants are intended to be used for reading data and the
* *To* variants for writing data.
*
* Methods on NativeEndian work with integer data of any type.
* Floating-point data is not supported.
*
* For clarity in networking code, "Network" may be used as a synonym
* for "Big" in any of the above methods or class names.
*
* As an example, reading a file format header whose fields are stored
* in big-endian format might look like:
*
* class ExampleHeader
* {
* private:
* uint32_t mMagic;
* uint32_t mLength;
* uint32_t mTotalRecords;
* uint64_t mChecksum;
*
* public:
* ExampleHeader(const void* data)
* {
* const uint8_t* ptr = static_cast<const uint8_t*>(data);
* mMagic = BigEndian::readUint32(ptr); ptr += sizeof(uint32_t);
* mLength = BigEndian::readUint32(ptr); ptr += sizeof(uint32_t);
* mTotalRecords = BigEndian::readUint32(ptr); ptr += sizeof(uint32_t);
* mChecksum = BigEndian::readUint64(ptr);
* }
* ...
* };
