Function documentation

void* bn::memory::ewram_alloc(int bytes)

Allocates uninitialized storage in EWRAM.

Parameters
bytes Bytes to allocate.
Returns On success, returns the pointer to the beginning of newly allocated memory. To avoid a memory leak, the returned pointer must be deallocated with bn::ewram_free. On failure, returns a null pointer.

void bn::memory::ewram_free(void* ptr)

Deallocates the space previously allocated by bn::ewram_alloc.

Parameters
ptr Pointer to the memory to deallocate.

If ptr is a null pointer, the function does nothing.

If ptr was not previously allocated by bn::ewram_alloc, the behavior is undefined.

template<typename Type>
void bn::memory::copy(const Type& source_ref, int elements, Type& destination_ref)

Copies the given amount of elements from the object referenced by source_ref to the object referenced by destination_ref.

Parameters
source_ref Const reference to the memory location to copy from.
elements Number of elements to copy (not bytes).
destination_ref Reference to the memory location to copy to.

If the objects overlap, the behavior is undefined.

template<typename Type>
void bn::memory::clear(int elements, Type& destination_ref)

Clears (set to zero) the memory of the given amount of elements from the object referenced by destination_ref.

Parameters
elements Number of elements to clear (not bytes).
destination_ref Reference to the memory location to clear.

void bn::memory::set_bytes(uint8_t value, int bytes, void* destination_ptr)

Copies the given value into each of the first bytes of the object pointed to by destination_ptr.

Parameters
value Value to copy.
bytes Number of bytes to fill.
destination_ptr Pointer to the object to fill.

If the given size is greater than the size of the object pointed to by destination_ptr or it is not trivial, the behavior is undefined.

void bn::memory::set_half_words(uint16_t value, int half_words, void* destination_ptr)

Copies the given value into each of the first half_words of the object pointed to by destination_ptr.

Parameters
value Value to copy.
half_words Number of half words to fill.
destination_ptr Pointer to the object to fill.

If the given size is greater than the size of the object pointed to by destination_ptr or it is not trivial, the behavior is undefined.

void bn::memory::set_words(unsigned value, int words, void* destination_ptr)

Copies the given value into each of the first words of the object pointed to by destination_ptr.

Parameters
value Value to copy.
words Number of words to fill.
destination_ptr Pointer to the object to fill.

If the given size is greater than the size of the object pointed to by destination_ptr or it is not trivial, the behavior is undefined.
