You do realise that 99% of the Cloud today is x86, right? Of the rest of the 1%, I'm going to guess it's 50-50 between ARM and IBM POWER, with only the latter usually running in big-endian mode. So right about 99.5% of the cloud and Internet datacentres are little-endian. Face it, little-endian has won for endpoints (I'm not making a claim for network elements, but even then you should consider Software-Defined Networking, which runs a lot of x86 too). More importantly, for computers where Qt runs, it's even more than 99.5% running little-endian. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
