测试机器大小端

intel32的机器，虽然是64位的系统，

但，

short是2个字节啊。

大端：低地址取出来的是高位字节。这是网络字节序。

#include<stdio.h>#include<stdlib.h> void byteorder(){     union{        short value;        char union_bytes[sizeof(short)];     }test;     printf("sizeof(short) is [%d]\n",sizeof(short));     test.value=0x0102;     if((test.union_bytes[0]==1) &&(test.union_bytes[1]==2))     {          printf("big endian,高位字节存储在低地址，低位字节在高地址。\n");     }else if((test.union_bytes[0] ==2 ) && (test.union_bytes[1]==1))     {        printf("little endian ,低位字节存放在内存的低地址，高位字节存放在内存的高地址 \n");     }     else         printf("UNKOWN\n");    // return 0;}   int main()   {       byteorder();       system("pause");       return 0;   }

=================================

后来读 http://www.adobe.com/cn/devnet/rtmp.html 的http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/rtmp/pdf/rtmp_specification_1.0.pdf时候：

All integer fields are carried in network byte order, byte zero is
 the first byte shown, and bit zero is the most significant bit in a
 word or field. This byte order is commonly known as big-endian.The
 transmission order is described in detail in Internet Protocol
 [RFC0791]. Unless otherwise noted, numeric constants in this
 document are in decimal (base 10).

可见，无论大端小端，向内存存入数据，都是先内存低地址，然后高地址。

这样，大端存入的时候，是先把高位数据存入（也是从低地址开始存），那么低位地址就对应了高位数据，所以叫做大端了。
