查找位移位，因为这基本上是所有你需要做的交换从小->大端dian。然后根据位的大小，改变位移位的方式。

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。

认真……我不明白为什么所有的解决方案都那么复杂!最简单、最通用的模板函数如何?它可以在任何操作系统的任何情况下交换任何大小的任何类型????

template <typename T>
void SwapEnd(T& var)
{
    static_assert(std::is_pod<T>::value, "Type must be POD type for safety");
    std::array<char, sizeof(T)> varArray;
    std::memcpy(varArray.data(), &var, sizeof(T));
    for(int i = 0; i < static_cast<int>(sizeof(var)/2); i++)
        std::swap(varArray[sizeof(var) - 1 - i],varArray[i]);
    std::memcpy(&var, varArray.data(), sizeof(T));
}

这是C和c++结合的神奇力量!只需逐个字符交换原始变量。

要点1:没有操作符:请记住，我没有使用简单的赋值操作符“=”，因为当反转字节序时，一些对象将被打乱，复制构造函数(或赋值操作符)将不起作用。因此，一个字符一个字符地复制它们更加可靠。

Point 2: Be aware of alignment issues: Notice that we're copying to and from an array, which is the right thing to do because the C++ compiler doesn't guarantee that we can access unaligned memory (this answer was updated from its original form for this). For example, if you allocate uint64_t, your compiler cannot guarantee that you can access the 3rd byte of that as a uint8_t. Therefore, the right thing to do is to copy this to a char array, swap it, then copy it back (so no reinterpret_cast). Notice that compilers are mostly smart enough to convert what you did back to a reinterpret_cast if they're capable of accessing individual bytes regardless of alignment.

使用此函数:

double x = 5;
SwapEnd(x);

现在x的字节序不同了。

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。

有一个叫做BSWAP的汇编指令可以帮你做交换，非常快。 你可以在这里阅读。

Visual Studio，或者更准确地说是Visual c++运行时库，为此提供了平台intrinsic，称为_byteswap_ushort()、_byteswap_ulong()和_byteswap_int64()。其他平台应该也有类似的情况，但我不知道它们会被称为什么。

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。
