Description

Is it possible to clarify what "without assuming architecture dependent alignment of the addresses" means with respect to endianness and common platforms where .net code runs. I.e. x86 is LittleEndian, so does it mean on x86, the routine will write using LE? So, clarification, along with concrete examples for common platforms would be nice.
