CPU compatibility layer
by Mattia Tristo 02 May '12

02 May '12

I have wrotten a thread in Linux Forums about a CPU Layer compatibility to answer little-big endian method. I think it would be wonderful to teach the kernel to convert between the two types and ask the layer to do the translations ordering the data in memory or letting them in the original state. If the original data is from the most used format (in terms of Linux Users an lines of code written) to the same it is not converted, else if it is from the last used to the most it is converted. What do you think about this? Can be made? P.S.: There would be a lot of code and software repository that could be made in the same way!!!
