2019-07-08map gbp papi: match endianess of f64Paul Vinciguerra1-0/+38
clib_net_to_host_f64, clib_host_to_net_f64 are now implemented as '=', https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/20406/ set papi to match. - all f64 api references are now wrapped with clib_net_to_host_f64 or clib_host_to_net_f64. IEEE f64 endianess is not defined. If clib_net_to_host_f64 and clib_host_to_net_f64 are later defined in VPP as big-endian, it is a single character change in the papi vpp_serializer. Note: This breaks the api in a manner that would not be detected by the flag day initiative. The scope is small. This only impacts map.api, which applied the u64 transformation, while the gbp api uses '='. The implementation of "=" raises issues for the papi socket implementation if used between systems of differing endianess. See Vratko's comments. - Added get_f64_endian_value() to api to allow client to verify endianess of f64's. Type: fix Depends-on: https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/20484/ Change-Id: I00fc64a6557ba0190398df211aa0ea5c7eb101df Signed-off-by: Paul Vinciguerra <pvinci@vinciconsulting.com>
