Re: [boost] [integer] Promotion of endian library code from vault

Just checked: iostream::write can't write to a void*

Actually, its expecting a const char*.

This means:

struct A_t { ulittle32_t a; ulittle32_t b; } A;

std::fstream f("test.bin", ios::out|ios::binary);

f.write(&A, sizeof(A_t);

won't compile. And I think one should be able to expect this to work for an endian lib.

Or am am I missing something here?

A reinterpret_cast is needed for a struct. It doesn't matter what is inside the struct. --beman
