Hello,

in 2000 and 2006 Darin Adler and Berman Dawes tried to get a library called Boost.Endian into Boost, but it seems the process stopped somewhere.

This library would help me a lot when working with different byte orders.

Here are the threads: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2000/03/2495.php http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2006/06/106655.php

Using Google I've found a recent endian.hpp but I can't find integer_cover_operators.hpp. http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/att-105789/endian.hpp

Beman, what happend with Boost.Endian?

It stalled when I became convinced that C++ core language changes were what was really needed. Work on Boost.Endian stopped while I shepherded proposals through the standards committee for C++0x. That's now done and reflected in the working draft of the standard. I recently started to update Boost.Endian and could post a copy if you are still interested. --Beman
