Converting Endianess on a bit field structure

Question

I need to convert a bit-field structure from little-endian to big-endia architecture. What is the best way to do that, as there will be issues in byte boundaries, if I simply sw

Answer 1

It should be enough to swap the bytes. Bit position within a byte is the same in big and little endian.
e.g. :

char* dest = (char*)&yourstruct;
unsigned int orig = yourstruct;
char* origbytes = (char*)&orig;
dest[0] = origbytes[3];
dest[1] = origbytes[2];
dest[2] = origbytes[1];
dest[3] = origbytes[0];
