I had an email discussion with Nikolaus Schaller about the code in
NSByteOrder.h which does the byte swapping for GNUstep and he convinced
me that we may not handle the case of swapping doubles correctly for
certain ARM processors. Here the word order in doubles seems to differ
from the general byt
This has been hanging around in my Inbox for a while. I found this
about how the ARM ABI deals with doubles:
VFP is a newer floating point architecture for ARM. With respect to
endianess, the word endianess of doubles is always the same as the
byte endianess of words. This contrast with the
