Ah okay. One could possibly write it in a less ambiguous way, as
follows? No IFDEF's needed.
function SwapEndian(const AValue: DWord): DWord; assembler; nostackframe;
asm
movl AValue, %eax
bswap %eax
end;
I am not proficient enough in the assembler parts of the compiler to comment
on this. Maybe one of the compiler people knows why it is the way it is...
