I have a UINT8 pointer mArray, which is being assigned information via a *(UINT16 *) casting. EG:
int offset = someValue;
UINT16 mUINT16 = 0xAAFF
*(UINT16 *)&mArray[offset] = mUINT16;
for(int i = 0; i < mArrayLength; i++)
{
printf("%02X",*(mArray + i));
}
output: ... FF AA ...
expected: ... AA FF ...
The value I am expecting to be printed when it reaches offset is to be AA FF, but the value that is printed is FF AA, and for the life of me I can’t figure out why.
You are using a little endian machine.
