in thread Fastest byteswap (little endian to big endian (eg. 34127856 -> 12345678)

I said the copy was not from a variable to another, because the RHS is just an anonymous value, scalar, string, or whatever else it could have been. I was basically saying that I agree with you, since the RHS is not something that has to be kept, my first post may not have been relevant.

    You keep saying you're agreeing with me, yet you are saying exactly the opposite. I'm saying that it is a variable — a scalar, to be precise — so it can COW.
