typed arrays: swizzle with compiler intrinsics
Implement swizzling with compiler intrinsics and be aware of the native endianness to correctly swap on big endian machines. This introduces a template function to swap the bytes of a value, and macros for the low level swap (taking advantage of gcc and msvc intrinsics). This produces code like the following (comments are mine): gcc version 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.11.00) setValue<double>: movd %xmm0, %rax ; fp reg -> gen reg bswapq %rax ; 64-bit byte swap movd %rax, %xmm0 ; gen reg -> fp reg movq %xmm0, (%r15,%r12) ; store
