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);

和在C中一样:

short big = 0xdead;
short little = (((big & 0xff)<<8) | ((big & 0xff00)>>8));

您还可以声明一个无符号字符的向量，将输入值memcpy放入其中，将字节反向转换为另一个向量，然后将字节memcpy取出，但这将花费比旋转位长几个数量级的时间，特别是对于64位值。

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

#include <bit>
#include <type_traits>
#include <concepts>
#include <array>
#include <cstring>
#include <iostream>
#include <bitset>

template <int LEN, int OFF=LEN/2>
class do_swap
{
    // FOR 8 bytes:
    // LEN=8 (LEN/2==4)       <H><G><F><E><D><C><B><A>
    // OFF=4: FROM=0, TO=7 => [A]<G><F><E><D><C><B>[H]
    // OFF=3: FROM=1, TO=6 => [A][B]<F><E><D><C>[G][H]
    // OFF=2: FROM=2, TO=5 => [A][B][C]<E><D>[F][G][H]
    // OFF=1: FROM=3, TO=4 => [A][B][C][D][E][F][G][H]
    // OFF=0: FROM=4, TO=3 => DONE
public:
    enum consts {FROM=LEN/2-OFF, TO=(LEN-1)-FROM};
    using NXT=do_swap<LEN, OFF-1>;
// flip the first and last for the current iteration's range
    static void flip(std::array<std::byte, LEN>& b)
    {
        std::byte tmp=b[FROM];
        b[FROM]=b[TO];
        b[TO]=tmp;
        NXT::flip(b);
    }
};
template <int LEN>
class do_swap<LEN, 0> // STOP the template recursion
{
public:
    static void flip(std::array<std::byte, LEN>&)
    {
    }
};

template<std::integral T, std::endian TO, std::endian FROM=std::endian::native>
        requires ((TO==std::endian::big) || (TO==std::endian::little))
              && ((FROM==std::endian::big) || (FROM==std::endian::little))
class endian_swap
{
public:
    enum consts {BYTE_COUNT=sizeof(T)};
    static T cvt(const T integral)
    {
    // if FROM and TO are the same -- nothing to do
        if (TO==FROM)
        {
                return integral;
        }

    // endian::big --> endian::little is the same as endian::little --> endian::big
    // the bytes have to be reversed
    // memcpy seems to be the most supported way to do byte swaps in a defined way
        std::array<std::byte, BYTE_COUNT> bytes;
        std::memcpy(&bytes, &integral, BYTE_COUNT);
        do_swap<BYTE_COUNT>::flip(bytes);
        T ret;
        std::memcpy(&ret, &bytes, BYTE_COUNT);
        return ret;
    }
};

std::endian big()
{
    return std::endian::big;
}

std::endian little()
{
    return std::endian::little;
}

std::endian native()
{
    return std::endian::native;
}

long long swap_to_big(long long x)
{
    return endian_swap<long long, std::endian::big>::cvt(x);
}

long long swap_to_little(long long x)
{
    return endian_swap<long long, std::endian::little>::cvt(x);
}

void show(std::string label, long long x)
{
    std::cout << label << "\t: " << std::bitset<64>(x) << " (" << x << ")" << std::endl;
}

int main(int argv, char ** argc)
{
    long long init=0xF8FCFEFF7F3F1F0;
    long long to_big=swap_to_big(init);
    long long to_little=swap_to_little(init);
    show("Init", init);
    show(">big", to_big);
    show(">little", to_little);
}

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))

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));
}

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
