nl::Weave::Encoding::BigEndian

This namespace provides functions for:

Summary

  • Performing byte reordering, relative to the host system, by value of big endian byte ordered values for 16-, 32-, and 64-bit types.
  • Safely performing simple, efficient memory-mapped accesses, potentially to unaligned memory locations, with or without byte reordering, to 8-, 16-, 32-, and 64-bit big endian byte ordered quantities, both with and without pointer management.

On big endian host systems no actual byte reordering will occur. On other systems, byte reordering is peformed as appropriate.
