d bi-endian capability. > The docs MAY lead some folks to believe that it is possible. I guess the literal answer to OPs question "can a compiler setting change the endianness" is yes, it can. But the endianness of what? Also, gcc documents '-mlittle-endian' under SPARC,

A rumor is circulating that there is a compiler setting that will change the "endianness" from little to big or vice versa. Any truth to this. Thanks ___ help-gplusplus mailing list help-gplusplus@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/lis

Bit-field endianness

2007-08-17 Thread John V. Shahid
Hi everyone, Does anybody knows if there's a way to figure out the endianness of the bit-fields in structures (i.e. a macro). I'm currently using autoconf to detect the endianness of the machines (i.e. Big vs. Little Endian), but failed to find an AC_* macro that would detect bit-field
