I'm also curious what you didn't just write:
return reinterpret_cast<ubig32_t>(src);
gcc gives me: invalid cast from type ‘uint32_t’ to type ‘boost::endian::ubig32_t I've only ever used reinterpret_cast on pointers, so doing the above didn't even occur to me. I had to try it to see whether or not it would work. Using static_cast doesn't work because it does the byteswap operation twice, making the function a no-op.
