Re: [boost] [boost::endian] Request for comments/interest

An API with only from and to functions doesn't preclude it, but it does make it less efficient.

That was the intent of my response.

Indeed, I'm suggesting a larger interface because I'm including your interface and adding more. The result is three categories of functions, ignoring overloads:

from<X>() to<X>() swap<X_to_Y>()

That's not complicated or confusing, is it?

Ok. I was on the verge of yielding to the "to" and "from" syntax in my previous post. That would satisfy your concerns, correct?

I agree that is a better approach. You might consider adding the reverse choices for completeness: "Y_from_X."

Sure, will do. Again, thanks for the feedback. Tom
