Member Function Documentation

bool lmsg::Grinder::need_swap

(

void

)

const [inline]

Test if swapping is needed.

Test whether the data byte ordering needs to be swapped.

Returns:

True if swapping is needed.

template<typename T>

void lmsg::Grinder::SwapT

(

T *

_data

)

[inline]

Swap data bytes in memory.

Swap byte ordering in place in memory of the specified data element.

Parameters:

_data

Data storage address

template<typename T>

void lmsg::Grinder::SwapIn	(	const char *	_in,
		T *	_out,
		size_type	N
	)			[inline]

Swap data bytes in memory.

Swap byte ordering of N data words in the _in array, storing the result in the _out array. If the byte ordering of the current host is the same as the standard byte ordering, this is equivalent to a copy.

Parameters:

	_in	Pointer to data stored with standard byte ordering.
	_out	Data array to receive data with host ordering.
	N	Number of data words to copy and swap.

template<typename T>

void lmsg::Grinder::SwapOut	(	const T *	_in,
		char *	out,
		size_type	N
	)			[inline]

Swap data bytes in memory.

Swap byte ordering of N data words in the _data array, storing the result in the out array. If the byte ordering of the current host is the same as the standard byte ordering, this is equivalent to a copy.

Parameters:

	_in	Pointer to data stored with the host's byte ordering.
	out	Data array to receive data in stabdard byte order.
	N	Number of data words to copy and swap.
