Re: [icu-support] ICU and endianess

[George R. <gr...@us...>]

There is the U=5FIS=5FBIG=5FENDIAN macro that is available.

You can also detect this just as easily in your own code without ICU.  For =

example, some platforms define BYTE=5FORDER, BIG=5FENDIAN, and LITTLE=5FEND=
IAN.=20
You can check if BYTE=5FORDER is equal to BIG=5FENDIAN.

[icu-support] ICU and endianess






Hi,

I read from the documentation that ICU is UTF-16, using the endianess of=20
the current platform it is built on.

I need to be able to deal with the various endianesses, and I have the=20
stuff set for the necessary byteswapping. However, does ICU4C have a=20
function to return the current endianess?

Something like; u=5FcurrentEndian() ??

Thanks.
