It's not clear how that works in 32-bit implementations, and if it plays a role at all. AFAICS, it plays no role (no instructions refer to the bit number as defined in the manual). The 68020 is bit-little-endian and byte-big-endian, and it has bitfield instructions, and from what I have read, this has led to problems (e.g., consider what to do if you have an array of 17-bit fields: how do you access the nth element of the array? The 88000 is bit-little-endian and byte-big-endian (Section 2.2.3 of the manual is quite clear about this at the start, and then discusses the byte-little-endian option; AFAIK all 88000 machines are byte-big-endian). It has bit-field instuctions that specify the bitfield as a offset from the LSB of the register and a width. Given that the bitfield instructions work on registers, and the load instructions require alignment, I don't expect the difference in order to cause many problems; maybe confusion if you try to deal with bit fields that cross words. MIPS also is bit-little-endian; there are byte-big-endian and byte-little-endian machines with MIPS CPUs. MIPS64r2 has bit-field instructions that use little-endian bit order, and before MIPS64r6 it also required alignment (MIPS64r6 allows either unaligned support or trapping on unaligned access). With unaligned support and big-endian byte order, problems like on the 68020 may arise. SPARCv9 <https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~novak/sparcv9.pdf> is bit-little-endian, and "uses big-endian byte order by default" (3.2.1.2) and I am not aware of any little-endian SPARC machine. AFAICS SPARC does not have instructions that use bit numbers, so the numbering of bits in the manual does not have any effect on the instruction set and programming. My take is, that in a world with different access widths (e.g., accessing a register for a 32-bit value or a 64-bit value), bit-big-endian is a bad idea. And we already see that in the IBM 704 manual which gives its most significant bits in its 38-bit accumulator the names (starting from the most significant) S (sign, maybe out of contest, but shown to the left of Q) Q (not present in memory) P (not present in memory; this is the carry bit for the ACL instruction) 1 If they had used bit-little-endian (and started at 0 instead of 1), they could have called P 35, Q 36, and S could be called 37, but given that it is a sign/magnitude machine, S is ok). - anton -- 'Anyone trying for "industrial quality" ISA should avoid undefined behavior.'

There is an argument for that. But if a computer does have bit-field instructions, I tend to consider it insane for it to number bits in the opposite direction of its endianness. Even though the problem isn't necessarily all that bad; as long as the bit fields are genuinely contiguous, then only the names of the bits in a byte are encoded funny. So if a 32 bit number is stored in bytes 5001, 5000, 4999, and 4998, from most significant byte to least significant, and you specify a 9-bit field starting in bit 6 of byte 4999... and the bits are numbered in big-endian order... the same thing should happen as if you specified bit 1 of byte 4999 on a little-endian machine with little-endian bit numbering. You get nine bits, the seven least significant of which are bits 0 through 6 of byte 4999, and the remaining two of which are bits 6 and 7 of byte 5000. In the more common case, where the machine is big-endian, and it is the bit numbering that's little-endian, specifying a nine-bit field starting in bit 6 of byte 4999 would give you bits 6 through 0 of byte 4999, followed by bits 7 and 6 of byte 5000. Here, though, you're going from most significant to least significant, but in both cases you're moving forward to higher addresses, just as you do when accessing multi-byte numbers with a byte address.

This does not make sense. You have the 32-bit word with address 4998. If you access a 9-bit field at bit 6, it extends to bit 14, and these bits will be in the bytes at addresses 5001 and 5000 on your byte-big-endian machine. As long as you only access this bit field through a 32-bit access at this address, the difference does not play a role. But once you want to access it through an 32-bit access at 4999 (now it's bit 14 through 22), a 16-bit access at 5000 (bit 6 through 14 again), or a 32-bit access at 5000 (bit 22 through 30), the different orders become confusing. - anton -- 'Anyone trying for "industrial quality" ISA should avoid undefined behavior.'

In C the default would be an aligned array of 32-bit containers each of which stored a 17-bit field. If you mean a /packed/ array in which the 17-bit fields are stored bit contiguously ... well that could get interesting.

[...] >If you mean a /packed/ array in which the 17-bit fields are stored bit >contiguously ... well that could get interesting. For a consistently little-endian architecture that has no alignment requirements, the access is relativelysimple: nbit = n*17 nbyte = nbit/8 bitoffset = nbit%8 tmp = load32b(array+nbyte) element = ext(tmp,bitoffset,17) (ext extracts the bitfield with length 17 at bitoffset from tmp; 88000 and MIPS64r2 have such instructions). I leave the consistently big-endian version and the byte-big-endian bit-little-endian version as exercise to those who think that these are good ideas. I guess, for consistent big-endian, given an appropriate definition of ext, it's pretty similar, if not the same as above. The inconsistent variants (e.g., 68020, 88000, MIPS64r2) are not so easy, however. - anton -- 'Anyone trying for "industrial quality" ISA should avoid undefined behavior.'

Given who they were it's not surprising they found their preconceptions to be "more logical". On the next page they said (written in 1997): "Unlike Swift's, the computer Endian controversy is not pointless. The Little Endian design has many complications in use; we much prefer the Big Endian. Having two active conventions is very painful. Several recent Big Endian RISC computers., including the MIPS, the Motorola 88000, and the Intel i860 provide a data-movement operation that can perform the Big Endian-Little Endian permuation [Hennesy and Patterson, 1990]. We predict that Little Endian addressing will die out, just as decimal addressing did." Uh huh. A few years later IBM added LOAD REVERSED and STORE REVERSED to z/Architecture and retroactively to S/390 mode on Z machines. -- Regards, John Levine, johnl@taugh.com, Primary Perpetrator of "The Internet for Dummies", Please consider the environment before reading this e-mail. https://jl.ly

I certainly would not hazard such a bold prediction. The prediction, though, is not hard to understand.

It causes problems with badly-written software.
Consider the following test program:
#include <stdio.h>
void printit(void *p)
{
char *c = p;
printf ("Value is: %d\n", *c);
}
int main()
{
int i = 42;
printit (&i);
return 0;
}
On a little-endian system, this prints
Value is: 42
On a big-endian system, this prints
Value is: 0
If software designers play games with this sort of thing
(knowingly or unknowingly), then software that will run
on a little-endian system will not run on a big-endian
system.

I don't see that as a fault of big-endian.
One has to exert oneself to write a program equivalent to
INTEGER*2 IP
EQUIVALENCE (I, IP)
I = 42
WRITE(6,11) IP
STOP
11 FORMAT(' ', 'VALUE IS: ', I3)
END
and so the fact that it will print
VALUE IS: 0
is not a bug, it's exactly what one should expect.

Neither do I. I am glad I still have access to a few big-endian
machines. For example:
$ lscpu
Architecture: ppc64
CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit
Byte Order: Big Endian
CPU(s): 64
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-63
Model name: POWER10 (architected), altivec supported
[...]
(which shows that big-endian Linux is still supported).
But if the software you are targeting is primarily written on,
and for, little-endian systems like x86, then the little-endian
assumption will tend to creep in - certain things like writing
an int to memory and reading back a char will "just work", and
programmers may not know or care that they are violating language
standards; they very rarely do.
So what to do? Submit bug reports and patches and hoped they are
integrated, or just bite the bullet and offer a little-endian
version as well? IBM chose the latter.
And refering to the point above, the code

also violates the FORTRAN standard going back to Fortran 66.
After the "I = 42" statement, IP becomes undefined according to
the language definition.

It could also launch World War III, provided the right operational
hardware has been installed.

I was being rather imprecise, thinking of Fortran more than of C.
What I meant was something like
#include <stdio.h>
void printit(void *p)
{
char *c = p;
printf ("Value is: %d\n", *c);
}
int main()
{
int i = 42;
printit (&i);
return 0;
}
which yields "Value is: 0" on a big-endian machine.

Okay, but that is well-defined behaviour in C (with a smattering of
implementation-defined behaviour for the signedness of plain char and
the sizes involved - the machine could have the same size for "char" and
"int", and thus print "42"). You are using a character pointer to
access the first byte of the representation of "i" in memory, and that
is of course the MSB in a big-endian system. It is one of relatively
few ways you can distinguish the endianness.
I know very little of Fortran - is it significantly different from C
here? (Again, this is just curiosity.)

Jep.
However, if code depends on a particular ordering, for example if
this needs to print 42, the code is buggy on big-endian systems.
And if you make the mismatch int*/long* instead, you will get
undefined behavior that is also difficult to catch, if you lie
to your compiler.
Another thing that is also access to subwords via unions.
> I know very little of Fortran - is it significantly different from C

Fortran argument passing is not specified by the standard. In
FORTRAN 77 days, it was usually implemented via pointers to each
argument. If you had
INTEGER*4 I
I = 42
CALL FOO(I)
...
SUBROUTINE FOO(I)
INTEGER*2 I
PRINT *,I
you would get the same effect, but the program would be illegal
from the start.
This is the kind of error that little-endian will hide, and
big-endian will not.
