Hey Michael, Did a quick test, passes on LE but seems like failing on BE. On LE: Hello wrong-endian world Hello right-endian world success: switch_endian_test on BE: Hello wrong-endian world (returns 176) The previous version of the test was passing both on LE and BE (after applying the compiler trick in the assembly) _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
