Detailed Description

This Functor simply takes an object and reverses its byte representation. This is useful for changing endian-ness for file IO. This class has been tested on x86 architectures with 4-byte words.

(

const bool

dr

)

[inline, explicit]

Constructor. Takes a bool, determines if we will actually do byte reversing.

template<typename T >

T libMesh::Utility::ReverseBytes::operator()

(

T &

data

)

const [inline]

Functor. Takes the data to reverse and performs the byte-ordering reversal.

Definition at line 306 of file utility.h.

References data, reverse(), and libMesh::swap().

{
  // Possibly reverse the byte ordering
  if (this->reverse())
    {
      unsigned char* b = (unsigned char*) &data;

      int i=0;
      int j=(sizeof(T) - 1);

      while (i < j)
        {
          std::swap (b[i], b[j]);
          i++; j--;
        }
    }

  return data;
}
