None, but it will be compatible with itself (the most we can hope for), and will work even if shifting is not supported for off_t (how likely is that?). I agree shift is definitely the way to go if it works on arbitrary data - ie. it does not rely on off_t being an integer. Can I shift a struct?What are the odds that dumping the bytes in it, in either order, will produce something that's compatible with any other platform?
