Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INVALID --- Comment #3 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Because it is redundant with __BYTE__ORDER__ == __LITTLE_ENDIAN__ (etc.) And, portable apps should use #include <endian> #if BYTE_ORDER == LITTLE_ENDIAN anyway. Note that __LITTLE_ENDIAN__ etc. is then fairly ambiguous, because it looks like a special version of LITTLE_ENDIAN macro, but has completely different meaning. And it is unclear from it what is little endian, whether bytes, words, floating point value bytes.
