public final class ObjectMemoryEndianessSwapper
extends Object

A ObjectMemoryEndianessSwapper instance is used to swap the endianess of all the data values in an ObjectMemory that are accessed via direct loads by the machine where such loads assume a fixed endianess of the data.

Method Summary

static void

swap(ObjectMemory om, boolean toPlatform, boolean isCanonical) Swaps the endianess of all the data values in om that are accessed via direct loads by the machine where such loads assume a fixed endianess of the data.

Method Detail

swap

public static void swap(ObjectMemory om,
                        boolean toPlatform,
                        boolean isCanonical)

Swaps the endianess of all the data values in om that are accessed via direct loads by the machine where such loads assume a fixed endianess of the data.

Parameters:

om - the object memory whose endianess is to be swapped

toPlatform - true if om is in the opposite endianess of the host platform

isCanonical - true if om is in canonical form (i.e. has not had its pointers relocated)
