Subject: [PATCH v3 3/5] bswap.h: Always overwrite ntohl/ ntohll macros
Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2025 21:12:28 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250715191230.12081-4-sebastian@breakpoint.cc> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250715191230.12081-1-sebastian@breakpoint.cc>

The ntohl and htonl macros are redefined because the provided macros were
not always optimal. Sometimes it was a function call, sometimes it was a
macro which did the shifting. Using the 'bswap' opcode on x86 provides
probably better performance than performing the shifting.
These macros are only overwritten on x86 if the "optimized" version is
available.

The ntohll and htonll macros are not available on every platform (at
least glibc does not provide them) which means they need to be defined
once the endianness of the system is determined.

In order to get a more symmetrical setup, redfine the macros once the
endianness of the system has been determined.
