[erlang-questions] idea: endianess in interoperability tutorials

[Samuel Rivas]

Hi,

Interoperability tutorials examples use non-portable code to read message length
with erl_interface. For example:


  len = (buf[0] << 8) | buf[1];

works only on little-endian platforms.

I suggest a minor patch that make them a bit more portable. It might be good
idea to apply it in the documentation, I have found the original code copy-pasted in
several places (luckily running on x86 computers).

Regards
