| 4 | Subject: [PATCH] Don't do runtime test to get float byte order |
| 5 | |
| 6 | Python uses AC_RUN_IFELSE to determine the byte order for floats and doubles, |
| 7 | and falls back onto "I don't know" if it can't run code. This results in |
| 8 | crippled floating point numbers in Python, and the regression tests fail. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | Instead of running code, take a macro from autoconf-archive which compiles C |
| 11 | with a special double in which has an ASCII representation, and then greps the |
| 12 | binary to identify the format. |

| 123 | +# AX_C_FLOAT_WORDS_BIGENDIAN([ACTION-IF-TRUE], [ACTION-IF-FALSE], [ACTION-IF-UNKNOWN]) |
| 124 | +# |
| 125 | +# DESCRIPTION |
| 126 | +# |
| 127 | +# Checks the ordering of words within a multi-word float. This check is |
| 128 | +# necessary because on some systems (e.g. certain ARM systems), the float |
| 129 | +# word ordering can be different from the byte ordering. In a multi-word |
| 130 | +# float context, "big-endian" implies that the word containing the sign |
| 131 | +# bit is found in the memory location with the lowest address. This |
| 132 | +# implementation was inspired by the AC_C_BIGENDIAN macro in autoconf. |
| 133 | +# |
| 134 | +# The endianness is detected by first compiling C code that contains a |
| 135 | +# special double float value, then grepping the resulting object file for |
| 136 | +# certain strings of ASCII values. The double is specially crafted to have |
| 137 | +# a binary representation that corresponds with a simple string. In this |
| 138 | +# implementation, the string "noonsees" was selected because the |
| 139 | +# individual word values ("noon" and "sees") are palindromes, thus making |
| 140 | +# this test byte-order agnostic. If grep finds the string "noonsees" in |
| 141 | +# the object file, the target platform stores float words in big-endian |
| 142 | +# order. If grep finds "seesnoon", float words are in little-endian order. |
| 143 | +# If neither value is found, the user is instructed to specify the |
| 144 | +# ordering. |
