#149825 - Less non-portable
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I did indeed say "more portable". I use the same scheme to define bytes within long (32 bit) words, and this would allow mixed word-within-long and byte-within-word endianness. I haven't yet come across any such mixed implementation, so it seems adequate for the real world. If you really want an endianness headache, you can try configuring the byte swapper in a firewire link layer controller to work with a 16 bit little endian processor ;-)
