Lets try this one more time, but I'll rephrase my question.
Does anyone object to me adding a new header <boost/endian.hpp> for this purpose? Or perhaps <boost/detail/endian.hpp> as it would be undocumented. This is all that is required to make the gcc-3_4_3-sunos target 100% pass on all tests. It will also fix any other big-endian platform where the Boost.Serialization test_demo_portable_archive{,_dll} is failing (Darwin I think).
I don't know if this qualifies as a "new feature" or not, but I think it would be nice to have, particularly if any networking code gets introduced any time soon.
I think this would be a very useful addition for networking. Should it go in utility? I'd prefer not to have it in detail. /ikh ======================================================================= This email may contain confidential and privileged information and is intended for the named or authorised recipients only.
