SDL_BYTEORDER(3)

SDL_BYTEORDER3

A macro that reports the target system's byte order.

Usage

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

#define SDL_BYTEORDER SDL_LIL_ENDIAN___or_maybe___SDL_BIG_ENDIAN

Header file

Defined in SDL3/SDL_endian.h

Overview

This is set to either SDL_LIL_ENDIAN
or

SDL_BIG_ENDIAN
(and maybe other values in the future, if something else becomes popular). This can be tested with the preprocessor, so decisions can be made at compile time.

#if SDL_BYTEORDER == SDL_BIG_ENDIAN
SDL_Log("This system is bigendian.");
#endif

Availability

This macro is available since SDL 3.2.0.

From libsdl3-doc 3.2.10+ds-1 in Debian 13 (Trixie). Parsed by carta from the page's man source.
