/* Functions for reading and writing integers in various endiannesses. */

/*
 * The classes LittleEndian and BigEndian expose static methods for
 * reading and writing 16-, 32-, and 64-bit signed and unsigned integers
 * in their respective endianness.  The addresses read from or written
 * to may be misaligned (although misaligned accesses may incur
 * architecture-specific performance costs).  The naming scheme is:
 *
 * {Little,Big}Endian::{read,write}{Uint,Int}<bitsize>
 *
 * For instance, LittleEndian::readInt32 will read a 32-bit signed
 * integer from memory in little endian format.  Similarly,
 * BigEndian::writeUint16 will write a 16-bit unsigned integer to memory
 * in big-endian format.
 *
 * The class NativeEndian exposes methods for conversion of existing
 * data to and from the native endianness.  These methods are intended
 * for cases where data needs to be transferred, serialized, etc.
 * swap{To,From}{Little,Big}Endian byteswap a single value if necessary.
 * Bulk conversion functions are also provided which optimize the
 * no-conversion-needed case:
 *
 * - copyAndSwap{To,From}{Little,Big}Endian;
 * - swap{To,From}{Little,Big}EndianInPlace.
 *
 * The *From* variants are intended to be used for reading data and the
 * *To* variants for writing data.
 *
 * Methods on NativeEndian work with integer data of any type.
 * Floating-point data is not supported.
 *
 * For clarity in networking code, "Network" may be used as a synonym
 * for "Big" in any of the above methods or class names.
 *
 * As an example, reading a file format header whose fields are stored
 * in big-endian format might look like:
 *
 * class ExampleHeader
 * {
 * private:
 *   uint32_t mMagic;
 *   uint32_t mLength;
 *   uint32_t mTotalRecords;
 *   uint64_t mChecksum;
 *
 * public:
 *   ExampleHeader(const void* data)
 *   {
 *     const uint8_t* ptr = static_cast<const uint8_t*>(data);
 *     mMagic = BigEndian::readUint32(ptr); ptr += sizeof(uint32_t);
 *     mLength = BigEndian::readUint32(ptr); ptr += sizeof(uint32_t);
 *     mTotalRecords = BigEndian::readUint32(ptr); ptr += sizeof(uint32_t);
 *     mChecksum = BigEndian::readUint64(ptr);
 *   }
 *   ...
 * };
