One might also remember that there are external protocols
that will forever require big-endian ordering (IP/TCP et alia).

I don't consider that sufficient reason for a CPU to implement
native arithmetic using big-endian containers, however.  While
ARMv8 included the capability to provide big-endian support,
in the architecture, it hasn't been widely implemented and may
in the future be eliminated.

Can usually be addressed well enough if the ISA has byte swap 
instructions. It is a little bit of a pain if it has to be done with 
shifts and masks, but in this  case a byte swap does well enough.

Could debate though whether to provide all of the byte swap cases (say, 
5 unique instruction), or simply an 8 byte swap to be followed by a 
right shift as-needed.

It’s only a small step from there to full-on “swizzling”, which is a
common part of SIMD instruction sets, isn’t it.

Is it true that x86 instructions containing integer literals put them
in big-endian order?

Permute can rearrange all 8-bytes of a register in any order desired.

Since 8088 was a byte sized buss and read things in use order, I would bet
against that.

In my case, I lack such an instruction...

Can note that there are 4 element shuffles for both 8 and 16 bit 
elements, and it is possible to combine them to get an arbitrary 8-byte 
shuffle; though the harder part is the lack of a computationally 
efficient way to map an arbitrary 8-element shuffle mask onto a minimal 
sequence of 4 element shuffles (it us generally possible to so so within 
~ 3 instructions; just not with any simple algorithm that I am aware of).

It is possible to build a lookup table for this, but this lookup table 
is quite large (I didn't usually distribute it with my compiler due to 
its immense size, but annoyingly without it there is seemingly no good 
way to do 8 element shuffles).


However, the most common case of these (byte order reversal) can be 
expressed as a one-off 2R instruction...

Yeah, x86 is pretty solidly little endian in these areas...

The Datapoint 2200 (8088 ancestor) put immediate arguments that are
larger than 8 bits (IIRC used in control-flow instructions) in
little-endian order.  And that was the only hardware thing in the
Datapoint 2200 (and the 8008, its successor), where the byte order
mattered.

These protocols are a sufficient reason to provide BSWAP type capability 
in all CPU architectures. (Including BE ones since there are other LE 
protocols/encodings).

One 2-byte BE field in IP header. Another one 2-byte field in UDP
header. The rest is either non-endian (single-byte or less) or
endian-neutral (IP address, ports, checksums). I didn't look at TCP
header but would think that it's approximately the same.
It does not sound as sufficient reason to have BSWAP.

Takes less then half a minute to look at the Wikipedia page...

Source port, destination port (ok, these can be pre-computed).
window are 16-bit.  Sequence number and acknowledgement
numbe are 32-bit.  Checksum (the most compute-intensive task)
adds up header and data in 16-bit one's complement, but that
may be done by specialized haredware.

It does, but only if you want performance in networking.

NTP works with 64-bit timstamps, with defined byte order: If your CPU 
does not agree with that, then you must have an 8-byte BSWAP, or general 
swizzle.

I am sure there are many, many others!

Fun fact: even on big-endian architectures, registers behave as though
they were little-endian.

Add that to the list of inconsistencies that only little-endian
architectures can resolve. ;)

Remember, the original meaning of “byte” (from the STRETCH project,
wasn’t it) was not “minimum directly-addressable memory unit” but
“variable-length bitfield”.

I didn't know that registers behaved as if they had *any* endianness
at all. Unless you're talking about registers for short vectors - like
MMX, AltiVec, AVX - the issue of endianness doesn't even arise.

Although there's a *sort* of endianness involving registers, but
integer registers and floating-point registers do it the opposite way.

It is quite common to have instructions that operate on partial
register contents, is it not?

Consider a sequence like this (for “move”, read “load” or “store” as
appropriate, and for “word” read “some convenient multi-byte
quantity”):

    move.word A, B
    move.byte B, C

On typical modern (i.e. RISC) architectures, A and C might be memory
locations and B is a register, or vice versa.

The question is, which byte of B ends up in C -- is it the
most-significant or least-significant byte?

On a little-endian architecture, it’s always the least-significant byte.

On a big-endian architecture, it depends on whether B is a register or
memory -- least-significant for register, most-significant for memory.

Oh. I don't think of registers like that.

One has...

load long
load
load halfword
load byte

and except for load long, yes, they put the memory item in the least
significant part of the register - but they're also sign-extending it.
So the register is a dimensionless point, containing a single number,
not something with parts.

You would need the special INSERT instruction to put a short integer
into the least significant portion of a general register without
affecting the more significant parts. And there is no way of directly
addressing these more significant parts separately, which makes the
concept of endianness not applicable to registers.

The floating-point instructions sort of go the opposite way. But in
the new IEEE 754 floating-point, since the exponent field is a
different width for the different sizes of float, things aren't as
simple as with the older hexadecimal floating-point of the 360.

>On a big-endian architecture, it depends on whether B is a register or
>memory -- least-significant for register, most-significant for memory.

While that's true, registers aren't memory. A register is an available
point for calculating with numbers. Memory is where numbers are
written.

So, although your point is valid in a way, the way in which the
assembly languages of at least some big-endian machines are designed
tends to obscure the issue; there isn't a single "move" instruction
which suddenly changes to little-endian semantics if the destination
is a register.

One has load to go from memory to a register, and store to go from a
register to memory. And then there's move which only ever moves from
memory to memory.

That’s not really a meaningful distinction. Calculations happen inside
function units in the CPU chip, so architectural registers are just as
much “where numbers are written” -- they are on-chip memory, separate
from the function units, just with more limited forms of addressing
available (for the sake of speed), compared to off-chip memory.

He is talking about how a byte is loaded/stored from the register field
of least significance, how a halfword is loaded/stored from the lesser
significance, how words are loaded/stored at low significance.

But that limits the precision with which you can do basic addition and
subtraction of decimal numbers, unless you go backwards in memory.

In what order did the IBM 1401 and 1620 order the digits? Because I
believe they could do arbitrary-precision addition and subtraction.

The B3500 BCD digits were numbered with the highest magnitude digit
having the lowest ordered address.  As were earlier Burroughs BCD systems.

The bits within the digit were ordered 8,4,2 and 1.
