The operations are only defined for unsigned # integers - if you wish to encode signed integers, convert / cast them to # unsigned first! # # Although it would be possible to enforce correctness with endians in the type # (`BigEndian[uin64]`) this seems like overkill. That said, some # static analysis tools allow you to annotate fields with endianess - perhaps # an idea for the future, akin to `TaintedString`? # # Keeping the above in mind, it's generally safer to use `array[N, byte]` to # hold values of specific endianess and read them out with `fromBytes` when the # integer interpretation of the bytes is needed. type SomeEndianInt* = uint8|uint16|uint32|uint64 ## types that we support endian conversions for - uint8 is there for ## for syntactic / generic convenience. Other candidates: ## * int/uint - uncertain size, thus less suitable for binary interop ## * intX - over and underflow protection in nim might easily cause issues - ## need to consider before adding here when defined(gcc) or defined(llvm_gcc) or defined(clang): func swapBytesBuiltin(x: uint8): uint8 = x func swapBytesBuiltin(x: uint16): uint16 {. importc: "__builtin_bswap16", nodecl.} func swapBytesBuiltin(x: uint32): uint32 {. importc: "__builtin_bswap32", nodecl.} func swapBytesBuiltin(x: uint64): uint64 {. importc: "__builtin_bswap64", nodecl.} elif defined(icc): func swapBytesBuiltin(x: uint8): uint8 = x func swapBytesBuiltin(a: uint16): uint16 {.importc: "_bswap16", nodecl.} func swapBytesBuiltin(a: uint32): uint32 {.importc: "_bswap", nodec.} func swapBytesBuiltin(a: uint64): uint64 {.importc: "_bswap64", nodecl.} elif defined(vcc): func swapBytesBuiltin(x: uint8): uint8 = x proc builtin_bswap16(a: uint16): uint16 {. importc: "_byteswap_ushort", cdecl, header: "".} proc builtin_bswap32(a: uint32): uint32 {. importc: "_byteswap_ulong", cdecl, header: "".} proc builtin_bswap64(a: uint64): uint64 {. importc: "_byteswap_uint64", cdecl, header: "".} func swapBytesNim(x: uint8): uint8 = x func swapBytesNim(x: uint16): uint16 = (x shl 8) or (x shr 8) func swapBytesNim(x: uint32): uint32 = let v = (x shl 16) or (x shr 16) ((v shl 8) and 0xff00ff00'u32) or ((v shr 8) and 0x00ff00ff'u32) func swapBytesNim(x: uint64): uint64 = var v = (x shl 32) or (x shr 32) v = ((v and 0x0000ffff0000ffff'u64) shl 16) or ((v and 0xffff0000ffff0000'u64) shr 16) ((v and 0x00ff00ff00ff00ff'u64) shl 8) or ((v and 0xff00ff00ff00ff00'u64) shr 8) func swapBytes*[T: SomeEndianInt](x: T): T {.inline.} = ## Reverse the bytes within an integer, such that the most significant byte ## changes place with the least significant one, etc ## ## Example: ## doAssert swapBytes(0x01234567'u32) == 0x67452301 when nimvm: swapBytesNim(x) else: when defined(swapBytesBuiltin): swapBytesBuiltin(x) else: swapBytesNim(x) func toBytes*(x: SomeEndianInt, endian: Endianness = system.cpuEndian): array[sizeof(x), byte] {.noinit, inline.} = ## Convert integer to its corresponding byte sequence using the chosen ## endianness.
