Hi! When client and server "architecture" are identical, remote code set PORT_symmetric flag and that causes some optimizations.
But, architectures are: #if defined(__sun) # ifdef sparc const P_ARCH ARCHITECTURE = arch_sun4; #elif (defined i386 || defined AMD64) const P_ARCH ARCHITECTURE = arch_sunx86; # else const P_ARCH ARCHITECTURE = arch_sun; # endif #elif defined(HPUX) const P_ARCH ARCHITECTURE = arch_hpux; #elif (defined AIX || defined AIX_PPC) const P_ARCH ARCHITECTURE = arch_rt; #elif defined(LINUX) const P_ARCH ARCHITECTURE = arch_linux; #elif defined(FREEBSD) const P_ARCH ARCHITECTURE = arch_freebsd; #elif defined(NETBSD) const P_ARCH ARCHITECTURE = arch_netbsd; #elif defined(DARWIN) && defined(__ppc__) const P_ARCH ARCHITECTURE = arch_darwin_ppc; #elif defined(WIN_NT) && defined(AMD64) const P_ARCH ARCHITECTURE = arch_winnt_64; #elif defined(I386) const P_ARCH ARCHITECTURE = arch_intel_32; #elif defined(DARWIN64) const P_ARCH ARCHITECTURE = arch_darwin_x64; #elif defined(DARWINPPC64) const P_ARCH ARCHITECTURE = arch_darwin_ppc64; #elif defined(ARM) const P_ARCH ARCHITECTURE = arch_arm; #endif But for the given purpose, this is misleading. Each platform/OS is treated in a different way. Why Linux is treated in the same manner in all platforms (big and little endian)?
