Re: [Haskell-cafe] Detecting system endianness

I think something like this might work: Prelude GHC.Exts GHC.Word> let W64# x = 0x100000002 in W32# (unsafeCoerce# x) 2 You should get 1 for big-endian and 2 for little-endian. (Disclaimer: not particularily well-tested.) -- ryan On Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 3:27 AM, Mauricio <briqueabraque@yahoo.com> wrote:

Hi,

Is there some way I can check the endianness of the machine my haskell code is running in?

Thanks, Maurício
