Should we still care about big-endian CPUs? [message #54126]

This came to my mind during the latest batch of optimizations... For more than 20 years, I was always trying to implement big-endian path for low-level code, but frankly U++ never really run on big-endian hardware ever, so those chunks of code are completely untested... There are basically no modern big-endian platforms. Maybe it is time to stop caring?

Hi,

If Raspberry Pi is running ARM in little-endian mode, then I do not personally need big-endian CPU support for anything. However, I do need data conversion between the two, but this is entirely different story.

Best regards,

Tom
