217 endian order regardless of what else is going on. This is useful in
218 archives.

237 Answer (gnu@cygnus.com): No, but perhaps they should be inline

242 FUNCTION
243 bfd_put_size
244 FUNCTION
245 bfd_get_size
247 DESCRIPTION
248 These macros as used for reading and writing raw data in
249 sections; each access (except for bytes) is vectored through
250 the target format of the BFD and mangled accordingly. The
251 mangling performs any necessary endian translations and
252 removes alignment restrictions. Note that types accepted and
253 returned by these macros are identical so they can be swapped
254 around in macros---for example, @file{libaout.h} defines <<GET_WORD>>
255 to either <<bfd_get_32>> or <<bfd_get_64>>.
257 In the put routines, @var{val} must be a <<bfd_vma>>. If we are on a
258 system without prototypes, the caller is responsible for making
259 sure that is true, with a cast if necessary. We don't cast
260 them in the macro definitions because that would prevent <<lint>>
261 or <<gcc -Wall>> from detecting sins such as passing a pointer.
262 To detect calling these with less than a <<bfd_vma>>, use
263 <<gcc -Wconversion>> on a host with 64 bit <<bfd_vma>>'s.

328 for the header records of object files. Believe it or not,
329 some object files keep their header records in big endian
330 order and their data in little endian order.
