Next: struct stat, Previous: Pointer Values, Up: Protocol-specific Representation of Datatypes [Contents][Index]
Structured data which is transferred using a memory read or write (for
example, a struct stat) is expected to be in a protocol-specific format 
with all scalar multibyte datatypes being big endian.  Translation to
this representation needs to be done both by the target before the F 
packet is sent, and by GDB before 
it transfers memory to the target.  Transferred pointers to structured
data should point to the already-coerced data at any time.
