[C/C++] Case study! Bad example about endianness.

[[ blog 이사 과정에서 정확한 posting날짜가 분실됨. 년도와 분기 정도는 맞지 않을까? ]]

Let's remind about endianness.

big-endian : most significant byte first.
little-endian : least significant byte first.

How about following code?

UINT16 b;
UINT8* p;
p = &b;
b = 0xABCD;
printf("%x, %x\n", p[0], p[1]);

This make different result according to endianness.

LE : CD, AB
BE : AB, CD

So, avoid kind of coding!
