Converting boost::asio::ip::address_v4::bytes_type into boost::asio::ip::address_v4

Question

I want to convert array of bytes of type boost::asio::ip::address_v4::bytes_type into boost::asio::ip::address_v4.

So my question is there any embedded function in boost library that do this job, or I need to do it manually i.e. Convert the array into string IP address and then pass it to the constructor of address_v4?

Answer 1

Are you looking for the constructor that takes a bytes_types? explicit address_v4(const bytes_type & bytes);

See http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/ip__address_v4/address_v4.html
