图3：双字节数0x1234以Little-Endian的方式存在起始地址0x00000020中

总结一下两种方法：

 

1.直接根据地址判断

#include<stdio.h>
#include<sys/types.h>
#include<sys/socket.h>
#include<arpa/inet.h>
static int isBigEndian()
{
    uint32_t thisx = 0x04030201;
    uint8_t *thisp = (uint8_t *)&thisx;
    return (*thisp == 1) ? 1:0;
}
int main(int argc,char **argv)
{
    printf("Byte order:%s Endian\n",!isBigEndian()?"Little":"Big");
    return 0;
}

2.根据联合体union的存放顺序是所有成员都从低地址开始存放这个特点判断

#include<stdio.h>

int checkCPU()
{
    union w
    {   
        int a;
        char b;
    }c; 
    c.a = 1;
    return(c.b == 1);//Little-endian:return 1
}
int main(int argc,char **argv)
{
    printf("Byte order:%s Endian\n",checkCPU()?"Little":"Big");
    return 0;
}
