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);

如果一个大端位32位无符号整数看起来像0xAABBCCDD，它等于2864434397，那么同样的32位无符号整数在小端位处理器上看起来像0xDDCCBBAA，它也等于2864434397。

如果一个大端序16位无符号空头看起来像0xAABB，它等于43707，那么同一个16位无符号空头在小端序处理器上看起来像0xBBAA，它也等于43707。

这里有两个方便的#define函数，用于将字节从小端序转换为大端序，反之亦然——>

// can be used for short, unsigned short, word, unsigned word (2-byte types)
#define BYTESWAP16(n) (((n&0xFF00)>>8)|((n&0x00FF)<<8))

// can be used for int or unsigned int or float (4-byte types)
#define BYTESWAP32(n) ((BYTESWAP16((n&0xFFFF0000)>>16))|((BYTESWAP16(n&0x0000FFFF))<<16))

// can be used for unsigned long long or double (8-byte types)
#define BYTESWAP64(n) ((BYTESWAP32((n&0xFFFFFFFF00000000)>>32))|((BYTESWAP32(n&0x00000000FFFFFFFF))<<32))

简单地说:

#include <climits>

template <typename T>
T swap_endian(T u)
{
    static_assert (CHAR_BIT == 8, "CHAR_BIT != 8");

    union
    {
        T u;
        unsigned char u8[sizeof(T)];
    } source, dest;

    source.u = u;

    for (size_t k = 0; k < sizeof(T); k++)
        dest.u8[k] = source.u8[sizeof(T) - k - 1];

    return dest.u;
}

用法:swap_endian < uint32_t >(42)。

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。

void writeLittleEndianToBigEndian(void* ptrLittleEndian, void* ptrBigEndian , size_t bufLen )
{
    char *pchLittleEndian = (char*)ptrLittleEndian;

    char *pchBigEndian = (char*)ptrBigEndian;

    for ( size_t i = 0 ; i < bufLen ; i++ )    
        pchBigEndian[bufLen-1-i] = pchLittleEndian[i];
}

std::uint32_t row = 0x12345678;

char buf[4]; 

writeLittleEndianToBigEndian( &row, &buf, sizeof(row) );

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。
