Subject: PPC byte ordering
Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2000 16:50:38 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <39FB3C16.3359BC41@the-rileys.net> (raw)
Before I get dirty looks, I know the PowerPC's default byte ordering is
big-endian (the way things *should* be :-). What I'm asking is slightly
irrelevant to most development discussion here, but...
I know that the PowerPC does allow both endian modes. My big question
is how well it works in little endian mode. I know we'll never switch
Linux to this, since that would be too much unnecessary work, but just
for reference: Is it broken? I have heard reports to this effect.
Thanks,
David
