Hi,
For the case $Config{longdblkind} == 1, the Config docs describe the long
double as "IEEE 754 128-bit big little endian".
I take it that this corresponds to a byte order of "43218765".
From that description, the byte order could also be "56781234".
Or would that be termed "little big endian" instead of "big little endian" ?
Would longdblkind for a "56781234" configuration be set to 1, or would it be
set to -1 ?
Anyway, I'm thinking (hoping) that a configuration of "56781234" is either
non-existent or very rare.
Right ?
Cheers,
Rob
