64bit ntohtl and htonl in iOS 8

[svendjo]

We recently moved to XCode 6 / iOS 8 and ran into a problem building WebSocket++. We're on version 0.3.0-alpha4 of the library so it's a bit old.

The issue seems to be that WebSocket++ defines 64 bit versions of ntohtll and htonll. And they don't compile against iOS 8.

websocketpp/common/network.hpp
ntohtll, htonll

I get a compilation error saying "Expected (" on the ntohtll method name.

Deleting the WebSocket++ implementations and using Apple's ntohl & htonl caused runtime errors, so that was not a solution. Instead I just renamed ntohtll -> ntohtllex and htonll -> htonllex in my own branch.

You may want to do some ntohtll, htonll detection in the header before defining your own.

This is a known issue that will be fixed soon. The report that the built in apple versions aren't drop in compatible is very helpful.
