在大多数POSIX系统中(虽然不是在POSIX标准中)有end .h，它可以用来确定系统使用的编码。然后是这样的:

unsigned int change_endian(unsigned int x)
{
    unsigned char *ptr = (unsigned char *)&x;
    return (ptr[0] << 24) | (ptr[1] << 16) | (ptr[2] << 8) | ptr[3];
}

这将交换顺序(从大端序到小端序):

如果你有数字0xDEADBEEF(在一个小端序系统中存储为0xEFBEADDE)， ptr[0]将是0xEF, ptr[1]是0xBE，等等。

但是如果你想将它用于网络，那么htons, htonl和htonll(以及它们的逆ntohs, ntohl和ntohll)将有助于从主机顺序转换到网络顺序。

如果您这样做是为了在不同平台之间传输数据，请查看ntoh和hton函数。

c++20无分支版本，现在std::endian已经存在，但在c++23之前增加了std::byteswap

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));
}

我真的很惊讶没有人提到htobeXX和betohXX函数。它们定义在end .h中，非常类似于网络函数htonXX。
