[Mono-dev] Array.Copy endian issue?

[Bassam Tabbara]

A little more details. If I remove the FastCopy call in Array.Copy I am unable to reproduce this.

                        // if (FastCopy (sourceArray, sourceIndex, destinationArray, destinationIndex, length))
                        //       return;

Attached is a test case but it needs to be run on a ARM device with the same version of Linux. Happy to provide access to a box if needed.

I’ll open a Xamarin bug too.



Thanks!
Bassam
