<h1>Endian changes since formal review</h1>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Headers rename to endian/types.hpp and endian/conversion.hpp.
|
|
Infrastructure file names changed accordingly.</li>
|
|
<li>The conversion.hpp conversion functions have been much revised, refactored,
|
|
renamed and otherwise improved based on review comments.<ul>
|
|
<li>UDT's are supported.</li>
|
|
<li><code>float</code>(32-bits) and <code>double</code> (64-bits) are
|
|
supported.</li>
|
|
<li>Both return-by-value and modify-in-place interfaces are provided.</li>
|
|
<li>Synonyms for the BSD byte swapping function names popularized by OS X
|
|
and Linux are provided, so that that developers already used to these name
|
|
can continue to use them if they wish.</li>
|
|
<li>In addition to the fixed endianness functions, functions that perform
|
|
compile-time (via template) and run-time (via function argument) dispatch
|
|
are now provided.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Compiler (Clang, GCC, VisualC++, etc.) intrinsics and built-in functions
|
|
are used in the implementation where appropriate.</li>
|
|
<li>For the aligned endian integer types, the implementation uses
|
|
conversion.hpp conversion functions.</li>
|
|
<li>C++11 features such as <code>noexcept</code> are used, while still
|
|
supporting C++03 compilers.</li>
|
|
<li>Acknowledgements have been updated.</li>
|
|
<li>Headers have been reorganized to make them easier to read, as requested,
|
|
with a synopsis at the front and implementation following.</li>
|
|
</ul>
