位域 内存 字节序_C语言中的位域、字节序、比特序、大小端（转）

1.比特序

/ 位序 / bit numbering

/

我们知道一个字节有8位，也就是8个比特位。从第0位到第7位共8位。比特序就是用来描述比特位在字节中的存放顺序的。通过阅读网页的内容，关于比特序我们得到下面的结论：

(1)比特序分为两种：LSB

0位序和MSB

0位序。

LSB

0位序是指：字节的第0位存放数据的，即我们的数据的最低位存放在字节的第0位。

MSB

0位序是指：字节的第0位存放，即我们的数据的最高位存放在字节的第0位。

所以说对于代码：char *ch = 0x96;

//  0x96 = 1001 0110

指针ch到底指向哪里呢？不难知道，如果是LSB

0位序则显然指针ch指向最右边的也是最低位的0.

而如果是MSB

0位序则显然指针ch指向最左边的也是最高位的1.

LSB 0: A container for

8-bit binary number with the highlighted least significant bit assigned the

bit number 0

MSB 0:A container for 8-bit

binary number with the highlighted most significant bit assigned the bit

number 0

(2)小端CPU通常采用的是LSB

0位序，但是大端CPU却有可能采用LSB

0位序也有可能采用的是MSB

0位序

(Little-endian CPUs usually employ

"LSB 0" bit numbering, however both bit numbering conventions can

be seen in big-endianmachines. )

(3)推荐的标准是MSB

0位序。

(The

recommended style for Request for Comments documents is

"MSB 0" bit numbering.)

(4)Bit

numbering is usually transparent to the

In computing, the

term endian or endianness refers

to the ordering of individually addressable sub-components within

the representation of a larger data item as stored

in external memory (or,

sometimes, as sent on a serial connection). Each sub-component in

the representation has a unique degree of significance, like

the place

value of digits in a decimal number. These

sub-components are typically 16- or

32-bit words, 8-bit bytes, or

even bits.

Endianness is a difference in data representation at the hardware

level and may or may not be transparent at higher levels, depending

on factors such as the type of high level language used.
