- 'unknown'

Examples

var FLOAT_WORD_ORDER = require( '@stdlib/os/float-word-order' );

if ( FLOAT_WORD_ORDER === 'little-endian' ) {
    console.log( 'Least significant word comes first...' );
} else if ( FLOAT_WORD_ORDER === 'big-endian' ) {
    console.log( 'Most significant word comes first...' );
} else {
    console.log( 'This is uncommon...' );
}

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/os/float_word_order.h"

STDLIB_OS_FLOAT_WORD_ORDER

Macro which equals either __FLOAT_WORD_ORDER__ (host defined) or STDLIB_OS_BYTE_ORDER.

#include "stdlib/os/byte_order.h"

#if defined(STDLIB_OS_FLOAT_WORD_ORDER)

#if STDLIB_OS_FLOAT_WORD_ORDER == STDLIB_OS_ORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN

// Do something for little-endian...

#elif STDLIB_OS_FLOAT_WORD_ORDER == STDLIB_OS_ORDER_BIG_ENDIAN

// Do something for big-endian...

#endif

#endif

If compiled on an unrecognized/unsupported platform, the macro is not defined.

Examples

#include "stdlib/os/float_word_order.h"
#include "stdlib/os/byte_order.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
#if defined(STDLIB_OS_FLOAT_WORD_ORDER)
#if STDLIB_OS_FLOAT_WORD_ORDER == STDLIB_OS_ORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN
    printf( "Least significant word comes first...\n" );
#elif STDLIB_OS_FLOAT_WORD_ORDER == STDLIB_OS_ORDER_BIG_ENDIAN
    printf( "Most significant word comes first...\n" );
#else
    printf( "Platform float word order is unknown...\n" )
#endif
#endif
}
