Support different endianness
Tried running a script compiled from Linux and it doesn't work, most likely due to the endianness of bytes being swapped.
On Linux, the vast majority of software is compiled for a 64-bit operating system (read: a size_t is 8 bytes instead of 4.) Linux doesn't inherently imply a different endianness, so the issue is probably not that.
I forgot to eventually look into this; with that said it's probably better if I was provided with an error message from OP. The code is a bit dusty and a rewrite of something so it might be iffy to mess with.
Linux is big endian by default, while Windows is little endian by default. Rerubi assumes little endian for float and integer reading. 64 bit code works; big endian code does not.
Lua's compiler uses the default endianness of the platform, which is why the endianness bit is important, and why luac files on Linux platforms will not run on Windows platforms.
Okay, I'll take that back. Completely wrong there (thanks google). However I don't think that should be the issue.
Linux is big endian by default, while Windows is little endian by default.
This is false, as you seem to have realized. Endianness is a characteristic of the processor.
The issue is almost definitely related to the size of a size_t.
