See: amule-project/amule#342 See: amule-project/amule#368 Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/841296 Signed-off-by: Matoro Mahri <matoro_gentoo@matoro.tk>
There are comments noting that writing raw float values may not be endian-correct and indeed it is not. WX does not provide functions for endian-swapping floats, but since amule explicitly uses exclusively single-precision (32-bit) floats, just cast it into a uint32_t for the swapping. This is a no-op on little-endian.
