Hello,

a while ago, I worked at Siemens company, with a (CHILL-)compiler that
supports endianess similar to this:

litte : Integer; pragma Datalayout(Little_Endian);
big  : Integer; pragma Dtalayout(Big_Endian);

little := big; -- compiler generates code for converting big endian to
little endian

if little = big -- compiler converts the variables to machines nativ
format before testing


Is there something similar available with Ada? Or has someone any
suggestions how to rewrite it in ada?

Regards,
Gerd
