It'd be interesting to see any real-world uses of this. Must be something rather exotic that could benefit from not doing bswap/s in bulk.

Depends on the differences, but generally - no, of course, not.

__f is a questionable name for a macro. But it's a petty irrelevant detail. I can't fathom how anyone could seriously see this is as a subject worthy of a prolonged discussion. The repo is a demo for a serialization technique, yet

I take it's this one - https://github.com/niXman/yas ? I haven't seen it before, but there are bound to be similar solutions to the same problem. The library I posted is used internally for a number of our pr

Such a clever swipe! Don't know where you are sourcing your definitions from, but, conventionally, being a library merely means that it's a reusable piece of code that does something well-defined.

> the results can be almost impossible to diagnose Humor me - concote a case with a standard header using __f name in a way that will make a conflict with this particular __f() macro "almost impossible to diagnose". I can&#x2

It almost universally is though, no? I'd expect a processor core with inverted endianness to be excluded from the general use and reserved for select processes that require that feature.

Nice, didn't know that. Seems a bit unfair though they didn't cover middle-endian order. Seriously though, how many machines are configured like that in the real world and what's the overlap with our target installation base?

Because it's not a "dangerous bad practice". There are examples of actually bad and dangerous language misuse, but this is not one of them. It's mostly pedantry. Like using KiB instead of KB.

No. See caveat #4. The code stems for the same-machine IPC library. No point in doing any byte order normalization. Trivial to add though if needed.

Noted. From my perspective it's the same class of issues as with using _t suffix for custom C types - also reserved, so technically not good, but trivial to fix if it ever causes any trouble. PS. In practice, the use of underscores, bo

Under 500 lines, this probably barely qualifies as a library , but it still allows packing structs and containers to/from binary blobs with as little effort as possible. It has virtually no dependencies, requires no pre-processing (li

GWF is utterly useless for any non-trivial issues. They have a mob of high-ranking posters upvoting each others' replies, patting each other on the back and ultimately ganging up on anyone who doesn't accept their replies. We had

The only commonality with rsync is that both algorithms split file into blocks and hash them, a common trait for any algorithm that does block-level updating.

It's an upside down A... or at least that was the idea, which frankly wasn't the very best one. I still wonder how many sales we routinely lose because of the name.

There are quite a few small ISVs out there. From the top of my head and in areas related to my own - Arq backup, SoftPerfect, Syncovery. I don't think Macrium and Glasswire are terribly big either. Ditto for 2BrightSparks. HexRays. Boa

OK, I see. That's a good case, let me think about it.
