Subject: Byte swapping and bindat
Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2022 21:00:31 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87pmjglllc.fsf@yahoo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 87pmjglllc.fsf.ref@yahoo.com
I was looking into replacing some of the very complicated Motif binary
message parsing code in x-dnd.el with bindat, but there doesn't seem to
be a way to make bindat do byte-swapping automatically, which makes it a
lot less attractive.
Is there a way to specify a bindat type with fields whose endianess
depends on an external parameter (or another field of the type?)
Defining each type twice for both byte orders seems very ugly.
