I'd like to handle the little-endian binary code from other system( like linux) on a sparc system at instruction level, so if I can't load the data in little-endian mode, then i have to add some instructions to swith it , it's nearly more then 10 instructions, and if to every load(or store) instruction on sparc , I have to swith it from little-endian to big-endian( or from big-endian to little-endian) , it's really too inefficient.

Hi all
I know AIX is big-endian machine.But does it read bytes in normal way from LSB.
Does it happen in some machine that at multi-byte integer level it is Little-endian and while reading a single byte it is Big-Endian.
This is urgent
Thanks in advance. (3 Replies)

uwx_set_remote
uwx_set_remote(3X) uwx_set_remote(3X)
NAME
uwx_set_remote() - enable unwinding of a remote process
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
is part of the Unwind Express Library for Integrity systems; see uwx(3X). enables the unwinding of a remote process from the unwind envi-
ronment. This forces the unwind engine to use the copy-in callback routines for all memory accesses into the target process address space,
and allows the unwind engine to perform proper byte swapping in cases where the target system's byte order is different from the host sys-
tem.
Parameters
env A pointer to an unwind environment object.
is_big_endian_target
A flag indicating whether the target process is running with a big-endian or little-endian data model. A value of 1 indi-
cates a big-endian target, and a value of 0 indicates a little-endian target.
RETURN VALUE
returns on success. See uwx(3X) for error codes.
AUTHOR
The Unwind Express Library was developed by Hewlett-Packard.
