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。

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。

大多数平台都有一个系统头文件，提供了有效的byteswap函数。在Linux上是<end .h>。你可以用c++很好地包装它:
#include <iostream>
#include <endian.h>
template<size_t N> struct SizeT {};
#define BYTESWAPS(bits) \
template<class T> inline T htobe(T t, SizeT<bits / 8>) { return htobe ## bits(t); } \
template<class T> inline T htole(T t, SizeT<bits / 8>) { return htole ## bits(t); } \
template<class T> inline T betoh(T t, SizeT<bits / 8>) { return be ## bits ## toh(t); } \
template<class T> inline T letoh(T t, SizeT<bits / 8>) { return le ## bits ## toh(t); }
BYTESWAPS(16)
BYTESWAPS(32)
BYTESWAPS(64)
#undef BYTESWAPS
template<class T> inline T htobe(T t) { return htobe(t, SizeT<sizeof t>()); }
template<class T> inline T htole(T t) { return htole(t, SizeT<sizeof t>()); }
template<class T> inline T betoh(T t) { return betoh(t, SizeT<sizeof t>()); }
template<class T> inline T letoh(T t) { return letoh(t, SizeT<sizeof t>()); }
int main()
{
std::cout << std::hex;
std::cout << htobe(static_cast<unsigned short>(0xfeca)) << '\n';
std::cout << htobe(0xafbeadde) << '\n';
// Use ULL suffix to specify integer constant as unsigned long long
std::cout << htobe(0xfecaefbeafdeedfeULL) << '\n';
}
输出:
cafe
deadbeaf
feeddeafbeefcafe
在模板函数中围绕枢轴使用老式的3-step-xor技巧进行字节交换，提供了一个灵活、快速的O(ln2)解决方案，不需要库，这里的风格也拒绝1字节类型:
template<typename T>void swap(T &t){
for(uint8_t pivot = 0; pivot < sizeof(t)/2; pivot ++){
*((uint8_t *)&t + pivot) ^= *((uint8_t *)&t+sizeof(t)-1- pivot);
*((uint8_t *)&t+sizeof(t)-1- pivot) ^= *((uint8_t *)&t + pivot);
*((uint8_t *)&t + pivot) ^= *((uint8_t *)&t+sizeof(t)-1- pivot);
}
}
如果你这样做是为了网络/主机兼容性，你应该使用:
ntohl() //Network to Host byte order (Long)
htonl() //Host to Network byte order (Long)
ntohs() //Network to Host byte order (Short)
htons() //Host to Network byte order (Short)
如果是出于其他原因，这里提供的byte_swap解决方案之一也可以很好地工作。
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。

摘自Rob Pike的《字节顺序谬误》:
假设数据流有一个小端编码的32位整数。下面是如何提取它(假设无符号字节):
i = (data[0]<<0) | (data[1]<<8) | (data[2]<<16) | ((unsigned)data[3]<<24);
如果它是big-endian，下面是如何提取它:
i = (data[3]<<0) | (data[2]<<8) | (data[1]<<16) | ((unsigned)data[0]<<24);
TL;DR:不要担心你的平台原生顺序，重要的是你从中读取的流的字节顺序，你最好希望它是定义良好的。
注1:这里int和unsigned int是32位，否则类型可能需要调整。
注2:最后一个字节必须在移位前显式转换为unsigned，因为默认情况下它被提升为int，移位24位意味着操作符号位，这是未定义行为。
