The only statement I found is in the VMspecs, basically
saying:
Multibyte data items are always stored in big-endian
order, where the high bytes come first.
Does this apply to "int" in memory? Is the VM on Linux
using big endian and swaps when it interfaces native code?
Is a local int variable in a method stored as big endian?
Let's say I want to hand over 4 bytes as a single int,
to native code that requires a given order, e.g.
OpenGL C4UB, MSB==Red
e.g. as an int[] array.
Is there a pure Java way to put together the 32bpp ints
from the 4 bytes that works for Linux and Solaris?
Is there a pure Java way to determine the endianess of
the hosting system hardware?
What I am looking for is essentially
java.lang.Integer.byteBitsToInt( byte[] ).
