Crate mem [−] [src]

mem

A rather generic memory (block) interface. Use Mutexes if you need thread safety, this doesn't provide any.

This crate is mainly for building emulators and such.

But.. why?!

Because abstraction is great. Well, this is really just an abstraction around byte addressable storage. Doesn't have to be RAM, could be a file or even a block device. Or some sort of remote memory interface. Or a live memory debugger/editor for an emulator! Let your imagination go wild! :)

Modules

errors	Error module y u do this???
std_impls

Traits

MemoryBlock	Simple trait for a finite memory block.
MemoryBlock32be	Subtrait for 32 bit big-endian interface
MemoryBlock32le	Subtrait for 32 bit little-endian interface
MemoryCreator	Simple `new(size)` trait for backends.
MemoryMiddlewareCreator	Trait for a new function that wraps another memory block, returning one itself.

Functions

copy	Copy all of the `src` memory block to `dst`. Returns `Ok(writtenbytes)` to signify `writtenbytes` bytes have been copied, or `Err(error)` if some error happened during copying.
copy_at	Copy the contents of `src` at `from` to `to` to `dst`, starting at `pos`. Returns `Ok(writtenbytes)` to signify `writtenbytes` bytes have been copied, or `Err(error)` if some error happened during copying.

Type Definitions

Addr	Address type/size. Just a simple alias to usize for easier-to-read code. (In my opinion, obviously.) Originally, I wanted to make it use generics, but that got messy really quick.
Byte	Byte. Convenience alias.
