Bug 3443

Summary: WIN_UTF8ToString is little-endian only
Product: SDL Reporter: Daniel <daniel.plakhotich>
Component: *don't know*Assignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2    
Version: 2.0.4   
Hardware: x86_64   
OS: Linux   

Description Daniel 2016-10-02 18:38:30 UTC 
WIN_UTF8ToString is defined as a macro that uses SDL_iconv_string("UTF-16LE", ...
All routines that use it (like SDL_LoadObject, RWops, etc.), will not work properly on big-endian machines.

Is there a bigendian Windows OS?

Going to mark this as WONTFIX for now, but we'll reopen it if we ever get an Xbox360 port.  :)

(Even the XBox One is littleendian again, though.)
