I actually really like that. What do you think?
Yes! I do like that. For the out-of-place version, I think this is definitely better than the swap-based names.
I don't think the function should use "cast" because the return type and parameter type are the same. I don't think the function name should use "swap" either because that is an implementation detail. Perhaps endian_transform or endian_convert instead? terry
