In the portability section of the language spec, they talk about
endianness (https://dlang.org/spec/portability.html#endianness)
which refers "to the order in which multibyte types are stored."
IMO if you wanted to actually be sure your code is portable
across both big endian and little endian systems, you should
actually run your code on both types of systems and test if there
any issues.
The problem is that I am not aware of any big-endian systems that
you can actually test on and if there is any D lang compiler
support for any of these systems if they exist.
This is not an important issue to me but I was just curious to
see if anyone actually tests for portability issues related to
endianness by compiling their D Lang code for a big endian
architecture and actually running it on that system.
