c++20无分支版本，现在std::endian已经存在，但在c++23之前增加了std::byteswap

#include <bit>
#include <type_traits>
#include <concepts>
#include <array>
#include <cstring>
#include <iostream>
#include <bitset>

template <int LEN, int OFF=LEN/2>
class do_swap
{
    // FOR 8 bytes:
    // LEN=8 (LEN/2==4)       <H><G><F><E><D><C><B><A>
    // OFF=4: FROM=0, TO=7 => [A]<G><F><E><D><C><B>[H]
    // OFF=3: FROM=1, TO=6 => [A][B]<F><E><D><C>[G][H]
    // OFF=2: FROM=2, TO=5 => [A][B][C]<E><D>[F][G][H]
    // OFF=1: FROM=3, TO=4 => [A][B][C][D][E][F][G][H]
    // OFF=0: FROM=4, TO=3 => DONE
public:
    enum consts {FROM=LEN/2-OFF, TO=(LEN-1)-FROM};
    using NXT=do_swap<LEN, OFF-1>;
// flip the first and last for the current iteration's range
    static void flip(std::array<std::byte, LEN>& b)
    {
        std::byte tmp=b[FROM];
        b[FROM]=b[TO];
        b[TO]=tmp;
        NXT::flip(b);
    }
};
template <int LEN>
class do_swap<LEN, 0> // STOP the template recursion
{
public:
    static void flip(std::array<std::byte, LEN>&)
    {
    }
};

template<std::integral T, std::endian TO, std::endian FROM=std::endian::native>
        requires ((TO==std::endian::big) || (TO==std::endian::little))
              && ((FROM==std::endian::big) || (FROM==std::endian::little))
class endian_swap
{
public:
    enum consts {BYTE_COUNT=sizeof(T)};
    static T cvt(const T integral)
    {
    // if FROM and TO are the same -- nothing to do
        if (TO==FROM)
        {
                return integral;
        }

    // endian::big --> endian::little is the same as endian::little --> endian::big
    // the bytes have to be reversed
    // memcpy seems to be the most supported way to do byte swaps in a defined way
        std::array<std::byte, BYTE_COUNT> bytes;
        std::memcpy(&bytes, &integral, BYTE_COUNT);
        do_swap<BYTE_COUNT>::flip(bytes);
        T ret;
        std::memcpy(&ret, &bytes, BYTE_COUNT);
        return ret;
    }
};

std::endian big()
{
    return std::endian::big;
}

std::endian little()
{
    return std::endian::little;
}

std::endian native()
{
    return std::endian::native;
}

long long swap_to_big(long long x)
{
    return endian_swap<long long, std::endian::big>::cvt(x);
}

long long swap_to_little(long long x)
{
    return endian_swap<long long, std::endian::little>::cvt(x);
}

void show(std::string label, long long x)
{
    std::cout << label << "\t: " << std::bitset<64>(x) << " (" << x << ")" << std::endl;
}

int main(int argv, char ** argc)
{
    long long init=0xF8FCFEFF7F3F1F0;
    long long to_big=swap_to_big(init);
    long long to_little=swap_to_little(init);
    show("Init", init);
    show(">big", to_big);
    show(">little", to_little);
}

我喜欢这个，只是为了风格:-)

long swap(long i) {
    char *c = (char *) &i;
    return * (long *) (char[]) {c[3], c[2], c[1], c[0] };
}

如果你这样做是为了网络/主机兼容性，你应该使用:

ntohl() //Network to Host byte order (Long)
htonl() //Host to Network byte order (Long)

ntohs() //Network to Host byte order (Short)
htons() //Host to Network byte order (Short)

如果是出于其他原因，这里提供的byte_swap解决方案之一也可以很好地工作。

来这里寻找一个Boost解决方案，失望地离开，但最终在其他地方找到了它。你可以使用boost::endian::endian_reverse。它被模板化/重载了所有的基元类型:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include "boost/endian/conversion.hpp"

int main()
{
  uint32_t word = 0x01;
  std::cout << std::hex << std::setfill('0') << std::setw(8) << word << std::endl;
  // outputs 00000001;

  uint32_t word2 = boost::endian::endian_reverse(word);
  // there's also a `void ::endian_reverse_inplace(...) function
  // that reverses the value passed to it in place and returns nothing

  std::cout << std::hex << std::setfill('0') << std::setw(8) << word2 << std::endl;
  // outputs 01000000

  return 0;
}

示范

虽然，看起来c++23最终用std::byteswap解决了这个问题。(我使用的是c++17，所以这不是一个选项。)

请注意，至少对于Windows, htonl()比它们的内在对应_byteswap_ulong()慢得多。前者是对ws2_32.dll的一个DLL库调用，后者是一条BSWAP汇编指令。因此，如果你正在编写一些依赖于平台的代码，为了提高速度，最好使用intrinsic:

#define htonl(x) _byteswap_ulong(x)

这对于。png图像处理尤其重要，其中所有整数都保存在大端格式中，并说明“One can use htonl()…”{用来降低典型Windows程序的速度，如果你没有准备好}。

查找位移位，因为这基本上是所有你需要做的交换从小->大端dian。然后根据位的大小，改变位移位的方式。
