C APIs
Usage
#include "stdlib/os/float_word_order.h"
STDLIB_OS_FLOAT_WORD_ORDER
Macro which equals either __FLOAT_WORD_ORDER__
(host defined) or STDLIB_OS_BYTE_ORDER
.
#include "stdlib/os/byte_order.h"
#if defined(STDLIB_OS_FLOAT_WORD_ORDER)
#if STDLIB_OS_FLOAT_WORD_ORDER == STDLIB_OS_ORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN
// Do something for little-endian...
#elif STDLIB_OS_FLOAT_WORD_ORDER == STDLIB_OS_ORDER_BIG_ENDIAN
// Do something for big-endian...
#endif
#endif
If compiled on an unrecognized/unsupported platform, the macro is not defined.
Examples
#include "stdlib/os/float_word_order.h"
#include "stdlib/os/byte_order.h"
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
#if defined(STDLIB_OS_FLOAT_WORD_ORDER)
#if STDLIB_OS_FLOAT_WORD_ORDER == STDLIB_OS_ORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN
printf( "Least significant word comes first...\n" );
#elif STDLIB_OS_FLOAT_WORD_ORDER == STDLIB_OS_ORDER_BIG_ENDIAN
printf( "Most significant word comes first...\n" );
#else
printf( "Platform float word order is unknown...\n" )
#endif
#endif
}
