#162359 - Can be portable
Responding to: ???'s previous message
It's just a matter of endian-ness. I use the pre-processor to sort out endian differences according to which compiler I'm using.

typedef union {
uint16_t d;
uint8_t b[2];
} UU16;

typedef union {
uint32_t l;
uint16_t d[2];
uint8_t b[4];
} UU32;

#ifdef LITTLE_ENDIAN
#define U16_LSB 0
#define U16_MSB 1

#define U32_LSW 0
#define U32_MSW 1

#define U32_SB0 0
#define U32_SB1 1
#define U32_SB2 2
#define U32_SB3 3
#endif
