MIPS is currently Big Endian only #7190
Comments
ARM is also bi-endian but we always compile to little-endian. |
Still a problem, extreme wishlist feature |
I'd like this feature too. What needs to get done to make this happen? |
Triage bump |
Hello folks, I have made some changes to rust 0.10 added Mipsel architecture and got it working on my little endian MIPS machines but I am new to github and not sure how could I give you a patch if anyone still interested. |
I'm still interested in mipsel/android support. |
The aim of these changes is not working out a generic bi-endianness architectures support but to allow people develop for little endian MIPS machines (issue #7190).
I'm pulling a massive triage effort to get us ready for 1.0. As part of this, I'm moving stuff that's wishlist-like to the RFCs repo, as that's where major new things should get discussed/prioritized. This issue has been moved to the RFCs repo: rust-lang/rfcs#624 |
MIPS is currently only supporting Big Endian, but many modern MIPS devices are little endian, including all Android devices. So there should be some kind of support for setting little-endian for MIPS.
In the future there are probably other platforms with this issue, just to a much smaller degree.
