[conversion] Is there a boost lib for converting octet array to integral types?

8 Jul 2010

      Hi all,

Is there a boost utility for converting an array of octets to an integral  
type? Something along the lines of:

boost::uint8_t const octetBuf[] = {0x23, 0x4e};
boost::uint32_t const thirtyTwoBit = some_function(octetBuf);

Where some_function takes care of the padding based on endianness.

Thanks,
