Re: [boost] [Beman's endian] explicit native endianes

Hi Vicente,

I see that there are specific classes for native endian, endian<endianness::native, ...>.

I was wondering if instead of defining a separated class we can not define endianness::native depending on the ENDIAN of the host and remove the explicit definition.

#     ifdef BOOST_BIG_ENDIAN  BOOST_SCOPED_ENUM_START(endianness) { big, little, native=big }; BOOST_SCOPED_ENUM_END #else  BOOST_SCOPED_ENUM_START(endianness) { big, little, native=little }; BOOST_SCOPED_ENUM_END #endif

Interesting. Seems like a good idea!

Will this break the design?

Off-hand, I can't think of any reason. I've been very tied up with other projects. I'll try to look at this in more detail over the next few days. Thanks, --Beman
