[jira] [Commented] (THRIFT-1171) Perl write/readDouble assumes little-endian platform

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1171?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13044009#comment-13044009 ] 

Hudson commented on THRIFT-1171:
--------------------------------

Integrated in Thrift #155 (See [https://builds.apache.org/hudson/job/Thrift/155/])
    Thrift-1171: Perl write/readDouble assumes little-endian platform
Client: perl
Patch: Andy Grundman

The code for handling doubles uses pack 'd' (pack to native byte order) and then reverses the bytes. This works on little-endian systems but will produce backwards data on big-endian systems.
