BUGFIX: Decode string based on byteorder of system

Open Aniket-Pradhan opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Fixes #38

Big-endian machines are unable to decode the UTF-32 encoded strings. The default decoding is for little-endian machines. Therefore, added a simple if condition to identify the type of machine before decoding the string.

Yep, we'll probably use a similar patch for Fedora until the PR is accepted.
