[Boost-users] Convert big endian to little endian (floating point values)

Hello,

 I am trying to convert a floating point value from big endian to little 
endian, but the code below does not compile:

 double x = 10.0;

 const double x_big_endian = boost::endian::native_to_big(x);        
 boost::endian::native_to_big_inplace(x);  

and the compiler (gcc 5.2) only offers overloads for integer types. This is 
with boost 1.59. Are floating point values currently supported (the website of 
boost::endian says so)? Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you.

 Martin
