bigendian

Overview ¶

Package bigendian provides functionality to convert (u)ints encoded in big-endian to little-endian. Note that all architectures officially supported by go (x86, amd64, arm) are little-endian. (ARM supports big-endian in principle, but go doesn't support big-endian ARM. See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/11079 .)

We only have assembler code for amd64, but we have a reference implementation in pure go that is used for testing and on non-amd64 platforms.
