[comp.lang.c] REVERSE not INVERT

(Flame me if I'm wrong, but...)

Didn't it occur to any of our inverters out there that INVERTING the bits
in anything is so trivial that no-one would post a question about it ?

Whoever posted the original article probably wanted to REVERSEthe _order_
of the bits, no ?  There were a few (perhaps not so portable) suggestions
so I won't repeat anything.  At least they understood the question.
Just look at all the bandwidth soaked up by people displaying their
astounding knowledge of the "~" operator.  I must admit, though, there
were quite a few who were trying to invert without using the "~" operator.
"... masochists, looking for a difficult solution to a simple problem ..."
Quite amusing really.

Well, now that I've soaked up my two bobs worth...

Have a nice day ...
