如何在c++中转换大端值和小端值?

为了清晰起见,我必须将二进制数据(双精度浮点值以及32位和64位整数)从一个CPU架构转换到另一个CPU架构。这并不涉及网络,因此ntoh()和类似的函数在这里不能工作。


注意:我接受的答案直接适用于我的目标编译器(这就是我选择它的原因)。然而,这里还有其他非常好的、更方便的答案。

虽然没有使用固有函数有效,但肯定是可移植的。我的回答:

#include <cstdint>
#include <type_traits>

/**
 * Perform an endian swap of bytes against a templatized unsigned word.
 *
 * @tparam value_type The data type to perform the endian swap against.
 * @param value       The data value to swap.
 *
 * @return value_type The resulting swapped word.
 */
template <typename value_type>
constexpr inline auto endian_swap(value_type value) -> value_type
{
    using half_type = typename std::conditional<
        sizeof(value_type) == 8u,
        uint32_t,
        typename std::conditional<sizeof(value_type) == 4u, uint16_t, uint8_t>::
            type>::type;

    size_t const    half_bits  = sizeof(value_type) * 8u / 2u;
    half_type const upper_half = static_cast<half_type>(value >> half_bits);
    half_type const lower_half = static_cast<half_type>(value);

    if (sizeof(value_type) == 2u)
    {
        return (static_cast<value_type>(lower_half) << half_bits) | upper_half;
    }

    return ((static_cast<value_type>(endian_swap(lower_half)) << half_bits) |
            endian_swap(upper_half));
}

其他回答

使用下面的代码,您可以轻松地在BigEndian和LittleEndian之间进行切换

#define uint32_t unsigned 
#define uint16_t unsigned short

#define swap16(x) ((((uint16_t)(x) & 0x00ff)<<8)| \
(((uint16_t)(x) & 0xff00)>>8))

#define swap32(x) ((((uint32_t)(x) & 0x000000ff)<<24)| \
(((uint32_t)(x) & 0x0000ff00)<<8)| \
(((uint32_t)(x) & 0x00ff0000)>>8)| \
(((uint32_t)(x) & 0xff000000)>>24))

实现优化器友好的未对齐非就地末端访问器的可移植技术。它们处理每个编译器、每个边界对齐和每个字节排序。这些未对齐的例程被补充或讨论,取决于本机的端序和对齐方式。部分列出,但你懂的。BO*是基于本机字节排序的常数值。

如果不与访问器一起使用,这些类型def的好处是会引发编译器错误,从而减少被遗忘的访问器错误。

    // ensure we're only swapping arithmetic types
    BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(boost::is_arithmetic<T>::value);

    return detail::do_byte_swap<from, to, T>()(value);
}

然后你可以这样使用它:

// swaps val from host-byte-order to network-byte-order
auto swapped = byte_swap<host_endian, network_endian>(val);

反之亦然

// swap a value received from the network into host-byte-order
auto val = byte_swap<network_endian, host_endian>(val_from_network);

如果你有c++ 17,那么添加这个头文件

#include <algorithm>

使用这个模板函数交换字节:

template <typename T>
void swapEndian(T& buffer)
{
    static_assert(std::is_pod<T>::value, "swapEndian support POD type only");
    char* startIndex = static_cast<char*>((void*)buffer.data());
    char* endIndex = startIndex + sizeof(buffer);
    std::reverse(startIndex, endIndex);
}

这样称呼它:

swapEndian (stlContainer);

似乎安全的方法是在每个单词上使用“顿音”。所以,如果你有。

std::vector<uint16_t> storage(n);  // where n is the number to be converted

// the following would do the trick
std::transform(word_storage.cbegin(), word_storage.cend()
  , word_storage.begin(), [](const uint16_t input)->uint16_t {
  return htons(input); });

如果您是在一个大端系统上,那么上面的代码将是一个无操作,因此我将查找您的平台使用的任何编译时条件,以确定htons是否是一个无操作。毕竟是O(n)在Mac上,它会是这样的……

#if (__DARWIN_BYTE_ORDER != __DARWIN_BIG_ENDIAN)
std::transform(word_storage.cbegin(), word_storage.cend()
  , word_storage.begin(), [](const uint16_t input)->uint16_t {
  return htons(input); });
#endif
