This can be templatized, and will handle such things as 80-bit long double.
Maybe, don't forget the padding bytes that are often injected into such types (only an issue if the endianness put's the sign bit at the end of the 10-byte sequence rather than the beginning).
There are also platforms that add parity, so you can get two 1 bits in the object representation. As I said, the code is widely portable (probably on all implementations supported by boost) not fully portable. -- [ Gennaro Prota, C++ developer for hire ]
