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 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 e9f6d2c37c Re-implement the endian types by inheriting from endian_buffer. 2014-11-15 21:04:19 -05:00
Beman 4c58fc2efa Clear [-Wunused-parameter] warnings (Roger Leigh) 2014-08-29 08:12:16 -04:00
Beman 17ca240b10 Use boost/predef/detail/endian_compat.h to determine endianness. 2014-08-15 10:59:49 -04:00
Beman 071099b656 Remove commented out code residue from treating native as a synonym for big or little. 2014-08-12 08:29:24 -04:00
Beman 8e5cd7dfc4 Treat "native" as synonym for "big" or "little" according to platform endianness, as suggested by Vicente J Botet. Converter_test working. 2014-08-11 16:21:04 -04:00
Beman 8c36890e77 Test and doc updates for Pierre Talbot's int8_t/uint8_t reverse_value() and templated reverse() patch. 2014-04-16 13:52:24 -04:00
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 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

Beman 7f9d91e6d2 Rename unaligned integers to fit the floating point pattern. Unifies the naming pattern, deliberately makes the unaligned type names a bit uglier. 2013-05-26 12:05:33 -04:00
Beman dff7c1254e Add unaligned floating point types and supporting infrastructure. 2013-05-26 08:25:10 -04:00
Beman 41f0c15844 Initial done_list.html. Improve general FAQ. Update example. Add BOOST_NOEXCEPT to types.hpp and cover_operators.hpp. 2013-05-22 13:26:51 -04:00
Beman 6130c5f84c Continue refinement of specs. Add to FAQ. Create function group bookmarks and link to them. 2013-05-19 17:08:42 -04:00
Beman 1fc19c5a27 Rename actual_order to effective_order. We don't know the actual order. Simplify an expression. 2013-05-19 07:15:09 -04:00
Beman 9089eb037b Rename header converters.hpp back to conversion.hpp. Clean up infrastructure. 2013-05-18 16:14:30 -04:00
Beman d7120e6fac Delete the original conversion.hpp.
Rename conversion2.hpp to converters.hpp.
