--- Comment #6 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
I disagree with the cppreference docs. The standard says:
"If (Mode & little_endian), the facet shall generate a multibyte sequence in
^^^^^^^^
little-endian order, as opposed to the default big-endian order."
i.e. little_endian affects the generated sequence, i.e. the output.
But maybe I'm wrong, I consider the specification of <codecvt> to be one of the
worst parts of the C++ standard, it's completely unclear, and a poor API
anyway.
If you have a testcase that you think demonstrates a bug please provide it.
