[Gambas-user] Endianness issue with Streams ?

[Laurent Carlier]

While reading data from a file using Read function and changing endianness i 
found a somehow strange behavior.

----8<-----

  Dim $iValue As Integer
  Dim oFitFile As File

  oFitFile = Open "toto" For Read
  $iValue = Read #oFitFile As Short
  Print Hex$($iValue), $iValue
---->8-----

Setting ByteOrder as Little endian gives:
5E9     1513
Setting ByteOrder as Big endian gives:
FFFFFFFFFFFFE905        -5883


So is it expected or is it a bug ?
