How could one detect Endianess with Ada 95?
I've seen some C snippets which exploit C arrays, but can see no obvious
mapping to Ada 95. The C snippet says that for a union of a number and an
array of 4 bytes, setting the number to one will have a one in the zeroth
byte of the array for little endian, and zero for a big endian. How do I
map this to Ada? Use an unchecked conversion perhaps?
Is there another portable (simpler) way?
Thanks,
Chris
