__big_endian
In this section:
Syntax
See Syntax for type attributes used on data objects.
Description
The __big_endian keyword is used for accessing a variable that is stored in the big-endian byte order regardless of what byte order the rest of the application uses. The __big_endian keyword is available when you compile for Armv6 or higher. It cannot be used in 64-bit mode.
Note
If this keyword is used with a pointer, that pointer will not be compatible with pointers that do not have a __big_endian or __little_endian attribute.
Example
__big_endian long my_variable;
