高效意味着吞吐量或延迟。

从头到尾，看看安德斯·塞德罗尼厄斯的回答，很好。

为了降低延迟，我推荐以下代码:

uint32_t reverseBits( uint32_t x )
{
#if defined(__arm__) || defined(__aarch64__)
    __asm__( "rbit %0, %1" : "=r" ( x ) : "r" ( x ) );
    return x;
#endif
    // Flip pairwise
    x = ( ( x & 0x55555555 ) << 1 ) | ( ( x & 0xAAAAAAAA ) >> 1 );
    // Flip pairs
    x = ( ( x & 0x33333333 ) << 2 ) | ( ( x & 0xCCCCCCCC ) >> 2 );
    // Flip nibbles
    x = ( ( x & 0x0F0F0F0F ) << 4 ) | ( ( x & 0xF0F0F0F0 ) >> 4 );

    // Flip bytes. CPUs have an instruction for that, pretty fast one.
#ifdef _MSC_VER
    return _byteswap_ulong( x );
#elif defined(__INTEL_COMPILER)
    return (uint32_t)_bswap( (int)x );
#else
    // Assuming gcc or clang
    return __builtin_bswap32( x );
#endif
}

当然，玩弄比特的黑客的明显来源是: http://graphics.stanford.edu/~seander/bithacks.html#BitReverseObvious

似乎许多其他帖子都关心速度(即最好=最快)。 简单性怎么样?考虑:

char ReverseBits(char character) {
    char reversed_character = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
        char ith_bit = (c >> i) & 1;
        reversed_character |= (ith_bit << (sizeof(char) - 1 - i));
    }
    return reversed_character;
}

并希望聪明的编译器将为您优化。

如果你想反转一个更长的位列表(包含sizeof(char) * n位)，你可以使用这个函数得到:

void ReverseNumber(char* number, int bit_count_in_number) {
    int bytes_occupied = bit_count_in_number / sizeof(char);      

    // first reverse bytes
    for (int i = 0; i <= (bytes_occupied / 2); i++) {
        swap(long_number[i], long_number[n - i]);
    }

    // then reverse bits of each individual byte
    for (int i = 0; i < bytes_occupied; i++) {
         long_number[i] = ReverseBits(long_number[i]);
    }
}

这将把[10000000,10101010]反向转换为[01010101,00000001]。

实现低内存和最快。

private Byte  BitReverse(Byte bData)
    {
        Byte[] lookup = { 0, 8,  4, 12, 
                          2, 10, 6, 14 , 
                          1, 9,  5, 13,
                          3, 11, 7, 15 };
        Byte ret_val = (Byte)(((lookup[(bData & 0x0F)]) << 4) + lookup[((bData & 0xF0) >> 4)]);
        return ret_val;
    }

这是32位，如果我们考虑8位，我们需要改变大小。

    void bitReverse(int num)
    {
        int num_reverse = 0;
        int size = (sizeof(int)*8) -1;
        int i=0,j=0;
        for(i=0,j=size;i<=size,j>=0;i++,j--)
        {
            if((num >> i)&1)
            {
                num_reverse = (num_reverse | (1<<j));
            }
        }
        printf("\n rev num = %d\n",num_reverse);
    }

按LSB->MSB顺序读取输入整数“num”，并按MSB->LSB顺序存储在num_reverse中。

通用的

C代码。以1字节输入数据num为例。

    unsigned char num = 0xaa;   // 1010 1010 (aa) -> 0101 0101 (55)
    int s = sizeof(num) * 8;    // get number of bits
    int i, x, y, p;
    int var = 0;                // make var data type to be equal or larger than num

    for (i = 0; i < (s / 2); i++) {
        // extract bit on the left, from MSB
        p = s - i - 1;
        x = num & (1 << p);
        x = x >> p;
        printf("x: %d\n", x);

        // extract bit on the right, from LSB
        y = num & (1 << i);
        y = y >> i;
        printf("y: %d\n", y);

        var = var | (x << i);       // apply x
        var = var | (y << p);       // apply y
    }

    printf("new: 0x%x\n", new);
