I am currently writing a function that tests endianness and sizeof() fundamental types in C++ in order to dectect if the system/compiler is “classic” or non-standard. I search a name for this function, like checkSystemSOMETHING() but I don’t know the word associated to things like binary representation of types or endianness. What would be the best word to replace SOMETHING ?
