Mem in Base E32

class Mem;

Description

Contains a set of static functions which perform manipulation of data in memory.

The arguments passed to the functions of this class are pointers to memory locations and length values. These functions are, therefore, not normally used in open code but are suitable for implementing data manipulation for other classes. Typically the interface provided by such classes is typesafe and hides this direct memory to memory manipulation.

static inline TUint8 *Copy(TAny *aTrg, const TAny *aSrc, TInt aLength);

Description

Copies data from a source location to a target location and returns a pointer to the end of the copied data.

The source and target areas can overlap.

The copy operation is optimised so that if both source and target locations are aligned on a word boundary, the operation performs the copy on a word by word basis.

Parameters

`TAny *aTrg`	A pointer to the target location for the copy operation.
`const TAny *aSrc`	A pointer to the source location for the copy operation.
`TInt aLength`	The number of bytes to be copied. This value must not be negative.

Return value


                              TUint8 *

A pointer to a location aLength bytes beyond aTrg (i.e. the location aTrg+aLength).

Panic codes

USER

90 In debug builds only, if aLength is negative.

static inline TUint8 *Move(TAny *aTrg, const TAny *aSrc, TInt aLength);

Description

Moves a block of data from a source location to a target location and returns a pointer to the end of the moved data.

The source and target areas can overlap.

Both source and target locations must be aligned on a word boundary. The specified length must also be a multiple of 4.

Parameters

`TAny *aTrg`	A pointer to the target location for the move operation. This pointer must be word aligned.
`const TAny *aSrc`	A pointer to the source location for the move operation. This pointer must be word aligned.
`TInt aLength`	The number of bytes to be copied. This value must be a multiple of 4.

Return value


                              TUint8 *

A pointer to a location aLength bytes beyond aTrg (i.e. the location aTrg+aLength).

Panic codes

`USER`	93 In debug builds only, if aTrg is not word aligned.
`USER`	92 In debug builds only, if aSrc is not word aligned.
`USER`	91 In debug builds only, if aLength is not a multiple of 4.

static inline void Fill(TAny *aTrg, TInt aLength, TChar aChar);

static inline TInt Compare(const TUint8 *aLeft, TInt aLeftL, const TUint8 *aRight, TInt aRightL);

Description

Compares a block of data at one specified location with a block of data at another specified location.

The comparison proceeds on a byte for byte basis, the result of the comparison is based on the difference of the first bytes to disagree.

The data at the two locations are equal if they have the same length and content. Where the lengths are different and the shorter section of data is the same as the first part of the longer section of data, the shorter is considered to be less than the longer.

Parameters

`const TUint8 *aLeft`	A pointer to the first (or left) block of 8 bit data to be compared.
`TInt aLeftL`	The length of the first (or left) block of data to be compared, i.e. the number of bytes.
`const TUint8 *aRight`	A pointer to the second (or right) block of 8 bit data to be compared.
`TInt aRightL`	The length of the second (or right) block of data to be compared i.e. the number of bytes.

Return value


                              TInt

Positive, if the first (or left) block of data is greater than the second (or right) block of data. Negative, if the first (or left) block of data is less than the second (or right) block of data.

The comparison proceeds on a double-byte for double-byte basis, the result of the comparison is based on the difference of the first pair of bytes to disagree.

The data at the two locations are equal if they have the same length and content. Where the lengths are different and the shorter section of data is the same as the first part of the longer section of data, the shorter is considered to be less than the longer.
