So the main help would be careful review and commenting on a revised version. I'll try to get that out in a week or so.
I use version 0.8: Questions: 1) Would it be possible to add a conversion operator to char* ? At least for unaligned types this looks useful to me since it would avoid ugly casts in cases where conversion is safe. 2) I'd like to be able to initialize a struct containing endian<> types by making it a reference to some buffer. E.g. char buf[1234]; my_struct& ms(buf); What would be needed to make this possible? (I'd expect this only to work if the entire struct contains of unaligned char[].) Is this feasible at all? 3) The naming endian for the lib does not caption its "real" purpose. At least I was not aware of it altough I was searching for it. I'd suggest something as ptype.hpp for _P_ortable _TYPES_. Regards, speedsnail
