| -- This package provides general block copy mechanisms analogous to those |
| -- provided by the C routines memcpy and memmove allowing for copies with |
| -- and without possible overlap of the operands. |
| |
| -- The idea is to allow a configurable run-time to provide this capability |
| -- for use by the compiler without dragging in C-run time routines. |

| package System.Memory_Copy is |
| pragma Preelaborate; |
| |
| procedure memcpy (S1 : Address; S2 : Address; N : System.CRTL.size_t) |
| renames System.CRTL.memcpy; |
| -- Copies N storage units from area starting at S2 to area starting |
| -- at S1 without any check for buffer overflow. The memory areas |
| -- must not overlap, or the result of this call is undefined. |
| |
| procedure memmove (S1 : Address; S2 : Address; N : System.CRTL.size_t) |
| renames System.CRTL.memmove; |
| -- Copies N storage units from area starting at S2 to area starting |
| -- at S1 without any check for buffer overflow. The difference between |
| -- this memmove and memcpy is that with memmove, the storage areas may |
| -- overlap (forwards or backwards) and the result is correct (i.e. it |
| -- is as if S2 is first moved to a temporary area, and then this area |
| -- is copied to S1 in a separate step). |
| |
| -- In the standard library, these are just interfaced to the C routines. |
| -- But in the HI-E (high integrity version) they may be reprogrammed to |
| -- meet certification requirements (and marked High_Integrity). |
| |
| -- Note that in high integrity mode these routines are by default not |
| -- available, and the HI-E compiler will as a result generate implicit |
| -- loops (which will violate the restriction No_Implicit_Loops). |
