In moving projects from Xcode 2 on Tiger (G4) to Xcode 3 on Leopard (Intel) I have found two cases of code (Objective C) that breaks in Xcode 3 on Leopard (Intel) that works perfectly fine in Xcode 2 on Tiger (G4)...

unsigned u = '\1\0\0\0';
u >>= 8;

results in u equal to '\0\1\0\0' in Xcode 2 on Tiger (G4) but results in '\1\1\0\0' in Xcode 3 on Leopard (Intel).


Both are correct. G4 is a big-endian computer and Intel is a little- Endian. You have the result required by the C standard for both. Shifts are architecture dependent.
