验证当前机器是大端还是小端

方法一

    int data = 0x12345678;
    char *cp = (char*)&data; //取4字节中的低地址字节
    if(*cp == 0x78)
        cout << "little" << endl;
    if(*cp == 0x12)
        cout << "big" << endl;

方法二

void byteorder() {
    union {
        short value;
        char union_bytes[ sizeof(short) ];
    } test;
    test.value = 0x0102;
    if ( (test.union_bytes[0] == 1) && (test.union_bytes[1] == 2))  //[0] 低地址
        cout << "big" <<endl;
    else if ((test.union_bytes[0] == 2) && (test.union_bytes[1] == 1))
        cout << "little" <<endl;
    else
        cout << "unknown..." <<endl;
}
