Memory Content Created by the C Program
3.2 Law 2: The “DMA Convention Rule”
An interesting example is the small C program below that determines whether the
program runs on a big-endian or little-endian mode machine.
The DMA convention rule says that “when a stream of items enters the system, items
should be placed in memory such that an item that arrived later has a higher address
value.” On output, a similar convention holds—items sent first are those with the
lowest addresses.
A variant of this rule relates to the storage of images. Pixels from left to right have
increasing addresses. Lines from top to bottom have increasing addresses.
This is a convention that keeps programmers sane. It may also be seen as arbitrary,
but obviously the best choice between two alternatives.
A more precise version of this rule is:
If item ’0’ of a DMA item stream is placed at address “A,” item “i” of a DMA stream
should be placed at byte address “A+i*s,” where “s” is the item size in bytes.
For an example of this rule, refer to
int w = 0x04050607;
char *a = (char *) &w;
if (*a == 0x04) printf("big-endian"); else printf("little-endian");
