Summary |
0003756: standarize network XDR |
|
Description |
There are several low-level places in the code of both the kernel and advanced applications where data is serialized "by hand" to put on the wire. (Look for places where a TDatagram is being assembled or interpreted at the other end.)
This code often uses code like:
data unsignedLongAt: 5 put: (aFloat basicAt: 2) bigEndian: true.
As the technology matures and the number of separately working coders increases, it will become more important to have a standardized library for representing data on the wire. |

Additional Information |
(Yes, I got bit by this, so I'm grumpy. Would you believe that getting the endianness wrong can give you a "Space is low" error?!) |
