- As relatively new to GNU C and using a SUN workstation, I have 2 quick
- questions.
- 1) I received a response concerning a question concerning the binary
- representation of data on a SUN vs. a PC. I lost that address, could
- that person or another please send me a short code on how to use
- swab() to change data from little-endian to big-endian... I am not
- having much luck finding useful docs concerning this function.
-
- 2) I thought I remember seeing a mention that GNU C can handle dynamic
- array allocation. I realize that this is easily mimicked using
- malloc(), etc.. but is this a truth or fantasy? If it exists, what
- are the limitations?
-
- Sorry if this is a FAQ - but if a FAQ exists for this group, can
- someone please point me to it?!?!?!
- Cheers
