The endian-ness issues (that is the difference between big-endian and little-endian architectures) are important for the portable programs working with the external binary data (for example, data files or data coming from network) which is usually in some fixed, platform-independent format.
The macros are helpful for transforming the data to the correct format.

| #define | wxINT32_SWAP_ALWAYS(wxInt32_value) |
| This macro will swap the bytes of the value variable from little endian to big endian or vice versa unconditionally, i.e. | |
| #define | wxUINT32_SWAP_ALWAYS(wxUint32_value) |
| #define | wxINT16_SWAP_ALWAYS(wxInt16_value) |
| #define | wxUINT16_SWAP_ALWAYS(wxUint16_value) |
| #define | wxINT32_SWAP_ON_BE(wxInt32_value) |
| This macro will swap the bytes of the value variable from little endian to big endian or vice versa if the program is compiled on a big-endian architecture (such as Sun work stations). | |
| #define | wxUINT32_SWAP_ON_BE(wxUint32_value) |
| #define | wxINT16_SWAP_ON_BE(wxInt16_value) |
| #define | wxUINT16_SWAP_ON_BE(wxUint16_value) |
| #define | wxINT32_SWAP_ON_LE(wxInt32_value) |
| This macro will swap the bytes of the value variable from little endian to big endian or vice versa if the program is compiled on a little-endian architecture (such as Intel PCs). | |
| #define | wxUINT32_SWAP_ON_LE(wxUint32_value) |
| #define | wxINT16_SWAP_ON_LE(wxInt16_value) |
| #define | wxUINT16_SWAP_ON_LE(wxUint16_value) |
| #define | wxFORCE_LINK_THIS_MODULE(moduleName) |
| This macro can be used in conjunction with the wxFORCE_LINK_MODULE() macro to force the linker to include in its output a specific object file. | |
| #define | wxFORCE_LINK_MODULE(moduleName) |
| This macro can be used in conjunction with the wxFORCE_LINK_THIS_MODULE() macro to force the linker to include in its output a specific object file. | |
| #define wxFORCE_LINK_MODULE | ( | moduleName | ) |
This macro can be used in conjunction with the wxFORCE_LINK_THIS_MODULE() macro to force the linker to include in its output a specific object file.
In particular, you should use this macro in a source file which you know for sure is linked in the output (e.g. the source file containing the main() of your app). The moduleName is the name of the module you want to forcefully link (i.e. the name you used in the relative wxFORCE_LINK_THIS_MODULE() macro.
Include file:
#include <wx/link.h>
| #define wxFORCE_LINK_THIS_MODULE | ( | moduleName | ) |
This macro can be used in conjunction with the wxFORCE_LINK_MODULE() macro to force the linker to include in its output a specific object file.
In particular, you should use this macro in the source file which you want to force for inclusion. The moduleName needs to be a name not already in use in other wxFORCE_LINK_THIS_MODULE() macros, but is not required to be e.g. the same name of the source file (even if it's a good choice).
Include file:
#include <wx/link.h>
| #define wxINT16_SWAP_ALWAYS | ( | wxInt16_value | ) |
| #define wxINT16_SWAP_ON_BE | ( | wxInt16_value | ) |
| #define wxINT16_SWAP_ON_LE | ( | wxInt16_value | ) |
| #define wxINT32_SWAP_ALWAYS | ( | wxInt32_value | ) |
This macro will swap the bytes of the value variable from little endian to big endian or vice versa unconditionally, i.e.
independently of the current platform.
Include file:
#include <wx/defs.h>
| #define wxINT32_SWAP_ON_BE | ( | wxInt32_value | ) |
This macro will swap the bytes of the value variable from little endian to big endian or vice versa if the program is compiled on a big-endian architecture (such as Sun work stations).
If the program has been compiled on a little-endian architecture, the value will be unchanged.
Use these macros to read data from and write data to a file that stores data in little-endian (for example Intel i386) format.
Include file:
#include <wx/defs.h>
| #define wxINT32_SWAP_ON_LE | ( | wxInt32_value | ) |
This macro will swap the bytes of the value variable from little endian to big endian or vice versa if the program is compiled on a little-endian architecture (such as Intel PCs).
If the program has been compiled on a big-endian architecture, the value will be unchanged.
