Define variables so script can know if CPU is big or little endian [Feature]

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This can be important if your script will run on different CPU's.
The compiler can calculate for you, like this:

static const int __ENDIAN_CHECK__ = 1;

static int Big_Endian = 0;
static int Little_Endian = 0;

#define IsBigEndian       ((*(char*)&__ENDIAN_CHECK__) == 0)
#define IsLittleEndian    ((*(char*)&__ENDIAN_CHECK__) == 1)

void Init()
{
    Big_Endian = IsBigEndian;
    Little_Endian = IsLittleEndian;

    VariableDefinePlatformVar(NULL, "BIG_ENDIAN", &IntType, (union AnyValue *)&Big_Endian, FALSE);
    VariableDefinePlatformVar(NULL, "LITTLE_ENDIAN", &IntType, (union AnyValue *)&Little_Endian, FALSE);
}
