Namespaces

namespace dlr

This namespace comprises all of the symbols defined in the dlr_libs suite of libraries.

namespace dlr::common

This namespace contains classes, functions and typedefs for working with exceptions, reference counting, portable numeric types, checking and switching byte order, extending the standard library, and more.

Enumerations

enum dlr::common::ByteOrder { DLR_BIG_ENDIAN, DLR_LITTLE_ENDIAN }

This enum provides a convenient way to represent the various machine-dependent byte orderings. More...

Functions

ByteOrder dlr::common::getByteOrder ()

This function returns the appropriate byte order for the platform on which it is run.

template<class Type >

void dlr::common::switchByteOrder (Type *dataPtr, size_t numberOfElements, ByteOrder fromByteOrder, ByteOrder toByteOrder)

This function takes a pointer to a C-style array of values and modifies the array in place so that it has a particular byte order.

template<class Type >

void dlr::common::switchByteOrder (const Type *fromDataPtr, size_t numberOfElements, Type *toDataPtr, ByteOrder fromByteOrder, ByteOrder toByteOrder)

This function takes a pointer to a C-style array of values and copies it into another C-style array, swapping bytes if necessary so that the output array has the specified byte order.
