Beman 55a65c3806 Revert to again supply the reverse_endianness_in_place template. This has the effect of providing a default reverse_endianness_in_place for user-defined types. Add error checking for UDT's to verify this works as desired. Provide a note in the conversion docs to that effect. 2014-12-09 11:36:42 -05:00

Beman e2045b7ffa Finalize buffer and arithmetic decomposition. Finalize name changes. Finalize test cases. Remove cruft. Docs still to do. 2014-11-26 10:04:33 -05:00
Beman 56103a7bc6 Finish conversion.hpp cleanup after name changes. conversion_test.cpp return-by-value tests reorganized and passing. UTD and in-place tests still to come. Add doc/bikeshed.txt to keep record of naming rationale. 2014-11-24 10:04:23 -05:00
Beman 4197f996ac More conversion.hpp fixes. Some, but not all, conversion_test tests passing. 2014-11-23 10:38:21 -05:00
Beman ce73f59741 Add "_endianness" to the names of the two customization points. These names must be defined in user namespaces (for ADL to work) and so must be much more explicit than names that are defined in namespace endian. 2014-11-23 08:40:58 -05:00
Beman f9c562b4b4 Rework conversion.hpp: Make the UDT customization point for the value returning conversion functions much more explicit. Provide a separate UDT customization point for the in-place conversion functions, and reverse_in_place() overloads for the built-in arithmetic types. Eliminate the unsafe general-use reverse functions. With explicit customization points these are no longer needed. Complete the renaming of conversion functions started in the prior commit. The reverse and reverse_in_place names are much more meaningful and less likely to be misunderstood. The longer "reverse_in_place" name will hopefully at least slow users down before inappropriate (and possibly unsafe use, such as when trying to recover data after an exception). 2014-11-22 16:27:11 -05:00
Beman 49a91c293a Rename endian_buffer typedefs. New names a bit longer, but also a bit more explicit and more obviously related to endian_arithmetic typedefs. 2014-11-21 15:49:28 -05:00
Beman 84faaa7bbf Rename the conversion functions to discourage unthinking use of the in-place versions as these are unsafe in that they effectively break the type system by treating the buffer as an undescriminated union. Remove the synonym functions based on names popularized by BSD, OS X, and Linux since these are permitted to be implemented as macros, which would cause endless difficulties if encountered. 2014-11-20 15:38:25 -05:00
Beman fc7733ade1 Major renaming. Class "endian" becomes class "endian_arithmetic" to mimic the C++ standard's description of such types as "arithmetic types". Rename header accordingly. The convenience typedefs have been changed shorten aligned names, as they are often being, but keeping the unaligned type names relatively short via a simple "_ut" suffix. 2014-11-19 10:53:11 -05:00
Beman 61d9046348 Remove "operator value_type() const noexcept" from buffers. Make the buffer ctor explicit. Buffers were requested by people who do not want automatic conversions because they want full control over conversions, and are very concerned about "efficiency".
Add "operator value_type() const noexcept" to the endian arithmetic types. These types are used by people who do want fully automatic conversions. The arithmetic types need to be drop-in replacements for the built-in arithmetic types for these users.

Pierre Talbot 11fc1ea374 Add overloads for int8_t and uint8_t (rational: useful with generic programming). Template the reverse function (same body in each overloads). 2014-01-22 18:09:50 +01:00
Beman d339470e6e Remove "explicit" from Endian type constructors. Rationale: Having to write "cntr.insert(big_int32_t(value))" instead of "cntr.insert(value)" gets old fast when you are writing application code and the use case arises more or less continuously. Additionally, the use of an endian type is an implementation detail that should not leak into the application code that needs to create values of the type. Furthermore, the ambiguities that caused the constructors to be made explicit no longer occur; they were eliminated when BOOST_MINIMAL_INTEGER_COVER_OPERATORS was introduced to removed a dependency on boost/operators.hpp. If an ambiguity does arise, it is easy to clear via a static_cast or a function-style cast. 2013-09-06 10:36:54 -04:00
Beman 016d3b2e7c Rename the endian typedefs. Rationale: Subjective - during three months working on the B-tree library, the *un_t names were a constant source of irritation. Objective - the new scheme, which reverts the *un_t names to having no alignment decoration, provides consistent *_align* decoration for both FP and integer types. Also, the library now provides conversion functions which may reduce use of aligned endian types. 2013-09-01 08:40:32 -04:00
Beman d1d62f3adc Use detail::reverse_value() to implement reverse_value() for float and double, thus eliminating type-punning warning from gcc. 2013-06-07 15:46:14 -04:00
