Hi, One often needs to read or write values from/to a buffer while having a pointer. Could you support this? I guess one could use *reinterpret_cast(*p) but I think functions would be more convenient. On second guess one probably has to use memcpy rather then reinterpret_cast. The functions are probably implemented already but aren't exposed. https://github.com/boostorg/endian/issues/17 -- Olaf
