It almost universally is though, no? I'd expect a processor core with inverted endianness to be excluded from the general use and reserved for select processes

It almost universally is though, no? I'd expect a processor core with inverted endianness to be excluded from the general use and reserved for select processes that require that feature.
- chrisseaton 7y agoI don’t think so - it’s just another processor flag and processes can switch it as needed. For example you could switch while reading data from a network connection and back again afterward.
- apankrat 7y agoIt'd be interesting to see any real-world uses of this. Must be something rather exotic that could benefit from not doing bswap/s in bulk.
