The file I am reading is assured to be in little-endian, and I am checking what the host byte ordering is first. Leopard is little endian ( at least on the intel chips, but I have read there are other macs that are big-endian, so I am trying to catch and handle that accordingly)
Adam: Repeating a comment from an earlier reply, you should just use the supplied functions in <Foundation/NSByteOrder.h>. They will work correctly whether you're building for a little-endian Intel processor or a big-endian PowerPC processor. Then you don't have to specifically "catch and handle" anything. So for your case of little- endian data being read from a file:
unsigned short NSSwapLittleShortToHost(unsigned short x); unsigned int NSSwapLittleIntToHost(unsigned int x); unsigned long NSSwapLittleLongToHost(unsigned long x); unsigned long long NSSwapLittleLongLongToHost(unsigned long long x); double NSSwapLittleDoubleToHost(NSSwappedDouble x); float NSSwapLittleFloatToHost(NSSwappedFloat x); steve _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
