Is there a way to have architecture specific -D options, for example:
gcc .... -DMY_BIG_ENDIAN_ppc -DMY_LITTLE_ENDIAN_i386
Which will turn into -DMY_BIG_ENDIAN for PPC and -DMY_LITTLE_ENDIAN for Intel?
I'm trying to avoid having to change any code (we have lots of source files ...)!

Do you have a prefix file? If so you could use something like this:

#ifdef __LITTLE_ENDIAN__
   #define MY_LITTLE_ENDIAN
#endif

and so on...

__LITTLE_ENDIAN__ and __BIG_ENDIAN__ are built-in to GCC I think.

They're actually only built-in to the Apple (originally NeXT) versions of GCC. I was a bit surprised when I realized they weren't in anyone else's releases, since they're quite useful. However, __LITTLE_ENDIAN__ is also defined by ICC on Mac OS X, so I think we've started at least a miniature trend.


In response to Dave's original question, this should work:
gcc -arch i386 -arch ppc -DMY_BIG_ENDIAN=__BIG_ENDIAN__ -DMY_LITTLE_ENDIAN=__LITTLE_ENDIAN__ ...
as long as your code checks for MY_BIG_ENDIAN and MY_LITTLE_ENDIAN with #if instead of #ifdef.


Hope this helps,
Eric
