[Sdcc-user] purpose of WORDS_BIGENDIAN

[Jeff W. <jwi...@ma...>]

Hello,

I am using SDCC with the cygnal line of 8051 microcontrollers.  The one 
problem that I run into is that the Cygnal IDE expects multi-byte 
variables to be big-ended, while SDCC stores multi-byte variables as 
little-ended.

I noticed the define WORDS_BIGENDIAN  in "sdccconf_in.h".  How is this 
actually used?  Is it possible to build SDCC so that it will create code 
which treats multi-byte values as big-endian.

Thank You  for any help,

Jeff Wittrock
