It's not about byte ordering. '@' and '=' also change the alignment! The documentation says it well: - '@' (or no marker) uses the 'native' alignment, which (on every platform I know) aligns 4-bytes ints to multiple of 4 bytes. - '=' uses the 'standard' alignment which is: "no alignment is required for any type"
