[zeromq-dev] Endianness conversion functions

[Auer, Jens]

Hi,

I've looking at the zeroMQ source code a little bit and was surprised that wire.hpp implements custom endianess converison function to convert 16, 32 and 64 bit values from/to network byte-order. Is there any reason for not using available functions like hton* or htobe family on Linux? I am sure it is a micro-optimization (but it is on the criticl path for large messages), but recent Intel CPUs provide an assembler instruction which could be used with the __builtin_bswap64 intrinsic for gcc and icc.

Best wishes,
  Jens
