ByteBuffer and ByteOrder

[Paul Thio]

Hello,

I have a question about the compilation of a test program, which uses a ByteBuffer. The program set the byte order to little endian and uses the method ByteBuffer.getLong. The program runs on Linux x86_64, which is also little endian. The compiler assembler output contains a block for little endian conversion and a block for big endian conversion. This block contains bswap instructions.  I am wondering if the code for big endian conversion can be eliminated.
I attached the test program.

Thanks,

Paul
