Abstract
A method of compiling code includes assigning an endian type to data. An endian flip operation is performed based on the endian type of the data and a target system. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Claims28
A method of compiling code, comprising:
- assigning an endian type to data;
- and
- performing an endian flip operation based on the endian type of the data and a target system.
An article of manufacture comprising a machine accessible medium including sequences of instructions, the sequences of instructions including instructions which when executed cause the machine to perform:
- assigning an endian type to data;
- and
- performing an endian flip operation based on the endian type of the data and a target system.
A compiler, comprising:
- a front end unit to assign an endian type to data;
- and
- an intermediate language unit to determine when to perform an endian flip operation based on the endian type of the data and an endian type of a target system.
A computer system, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor to implement a compiler having a front end unit to assign an endian type to data, and a intermediate language unit to determine when to perform an endian flip operation based on the endian type of the data and an endian type of a target system.
