My plan is to make non-functional changes similar to this PR everywhere in IRGen where I think we need to byte swap raw bit patterns on big-endian platforms. This will usually involve
SpareBitVector
uses being replaced with an appropriately sizedAPInt
so that a byte swap can be done. Eventually we'd perhaps replaceSpareBitVector
withAPInt
everywhere as per @jckarter's comment in https://forums.swift.org/t/fixing-enums-on-big-endian-systems/21730/3 but I think it would be good to do that in stages.
