Question On Endianness And Solaris Sparc Versus IA32 File Systems Gentle People:
I have found an interesting Endinness issue.
On both Solaris 8 Sparc and Solaris 8 IA32
machines when I read the same file sequentially
using getc() and I get different results in byte
ordering because of the Big Endian (Sparc) versus
Little Endian (Intel) file system data organization.
Question is there any way to automatically
compensate for this with getc??? Or more obviously
do I just have to rewrite the software application
to compensate for this?
Thanks for the help
