C++20 より前でも std::endian を。(big は face で little は dead ？)

C++20 より前でも std::endian を使いたいので書いてみる。 gcc/clang のプリプロセッサ定義 BYTE_ORDER, ORDER_BIG_ENDIAN, ORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN を定義されていないコンパイラでも強引に割り当てて使うことにします。

動作確認している環境は以下の通り

• Windows 11 (CPU: Core i7)
  • Visual Studio 2022 Version 17.10.1
    • Microsoft Visual C++ 2022
• macOS 14.5 (CPU: Core i7)
  • Apple clang version 15.0.0 (clang-1500.3.9.4)
    • x86_64-apple-darwin23.5.0

実行結果:MSVC オプション /std:c++20

std::endian
  native = 0x0 (0)
  big = 0x1 (1)
  little = 0x0 (0)
ok: native == little

実行結果:Clang オプション -std=c++20

$ clang++ -std=c++20 sample.cpp && ./a.out
__cplusplus = 202002

std::endian
  native = 0xdead (57005)
  big = 0xface (64206)
  little = 0xdead (57005)
ok: native == little

Clang では big は 0xface で little は 0xdead と定義されているようです。
