[PATCH v3 2/5] bswap.h: Define GIT_LITTLE_ENDIAN on msvc as little endian

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <sebastian@breakpoint.cc>
Date: Jul 15, 2025, 19:12 UTC
Message-ID: <20250715191230.12081-3-sebastian@breakpoint.cc>
In-Reply-To: <20250715191230.12081-1-sebastian@breakpoint.cc>

The Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) compiler (as of Visual Studio 2022 version 17.13.6) does not define __BYTE_ORDER__ and its C-library does not define __BYTE_ORDER. The compiler is supported only on arm64 and x86 which are all little endian.

Define GIT_BYTE_ORDER on msvc as little endian to avoid further checks.
