I am having trouble understanding this comment on the link https://kripken.github.io/emscripten-site/docs/porting/guidelines/portability_guidelines.html :
"Code relying on a big-endian architecture. Emscripten-compiled code currently requires a little-endian host to run on, which accounts for 99% of machines connected to the internet. This is because JavaScript typed arrays (used for views on memory) obey the host byte ordering and LLVM needs to know which endianness to target." 1. Is it possible to transpile portable C/C++ to Javascript on a big endian architecture like SPARC ? What I mean by portable here is that the code makes no assumption about the underlying machine's endianness. Like towers.c, gcc-loops.c benchmarks in JetStream 1.1 ( http://browserbench.org/JetStream/in-depth.html) 2. My interest is in running JS benchmarks like jetstream on SPARC. Can I do that with emscripten ? I also asked the question here on stackoverflow, but no response yet http://stackoverflow.com/questions/43812491/how-can-i-generate-asm-js-from-c-c-on-big-endian-architecture Thanks in advance !
