I'm checking with the OS folks and will report back here, for both HP-UX/ia64 and Tru64 Alpha.
And the answer is:
You are correct that both platforms are capable of executing in either endianness. However, the operating systems operate in only one. HP-UX is *always* big endian Tru64 is *always* little endian [...] Summary: A compile time check is adequate.
So, with current <endian.hpp>, I think, that we are all set for these platforms.
Thanks, Boris
Excellent. Thanks for the help. --Johan
