Re: Problem with Excel import on ARM

Gnumeric runs fine of Sparc so big-endian machines are handled.  That
is not to say that there might not be a screw-up somewhere.

I cannot actually load your sheet, so I cannot see what is in it.

It would be useful to see what kind of byte layout is being used
for doubles.  Please do something like this:

#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
  double x = M_PI;
  const unsigned char *p = (const unsigned char *)&x;
  int i;
  for (i = 0; i < sizeof (x); i++)
    printf ("%02x ", *p++);
  printf ("\n");
  return 0;
}

I get...

sparc> ./a.out 
40 09 21 fb 54 44 2d 18 

x86> ./a.out
18 2d 44 54 fb 21 09 40 

Please let me know what you get...  If you don't get anything like the
above, perhaps you know of a reference that tells the layout of doubles
on ARM?
