Function Documentation

Endianness ledger::core::endianness::getSystemEndianness ( )

Checks if the current system uses big endian or little bytes order.

bool ledger::core::endianness::isSystemBigEndian ( )

Returns true if the current runtime uses big endian bytes order.

bool ledger::core::endianness::isSystemLittleEndian ( )

Returns true if the current runtime uses little endian bytes order.

void * ledger::core::endianness::swapToBigEndian	(	void *	ptr,
		size_t	size
	)

Swaps ptr bytes to big endian bytes order if the current runtime uses little endia bytes order.

Parameters

ptr	The buffer to force in big endian bytes order
size	The size of the buffer

void * ledger::core::endianness::swapToEndianness	(	void *	ptr,
		size_t	size,
		Endianness	current,
		Endianness	final
	)

Swaps ptr bytes to final endianness only if necessary

Parameters

ptr	The buffer to force in "final" endianness
size	The size of the buffer
current	The current byte order of ptr
final	The desired final byte order of ptr

void * ledger::core::endianness::swapToLittleEndian	(	void *	ptr,
		size_t	size
	)

Swaps ptr bytes to little endian bytes order if the current runtime uses big endia bytes order.

Parameters

ptr	The buffer to force in little endian bytes order
size	The size of the buffer
