Array Manipulation Functions for C02
This library contains functions for handling non-string arrays. It is
maintained separately from string.h so that it can be included only
when needed, in order to reduce program size.
Arrays may be declared with up to 256 elements, but only lengths of up
to 255 characters may be passed to the array handling functions.
Usage: at the beginning of the program use the directives
#include <memory.h02>
The following functions are defined:
memdst(&d); Sets array d as the destination array for subsequent
memchr(). memcmp(), strcpy(), and memset() calls.
This function is not part of the standard C and
C++ string libraries. It is needed because of the
parameter passing limitations of C02.
Note: Aliased to the setdst() routine which sets
variables dstlo and dsthi as a pointer to the array.
memset(c, n); Fills first n bytes of the destination array set
by a a prior memdst() call with character c.
Note: dstlo and dsthi are left pointing to the
destination array.
p = memchr(c, n); Searches for character c in the first n bytes of the
destination array set by a a prior memdst() call.
Returns position of first occurance of character
in array, or 255 if character was not found or a
length of 0 was specified.
Note: dstlo and dsthi are left pointing to the
destination array.
c = memcmp(n, &s); Compares up to n bytes of source array s against the
destination array set by a prior memdst() call.
Returns 255 if destination < source, 0 if
destination = source, and 1 if destination > source.
These results can be evaluated using the C02
unary comparator ! or the test-operators :+ or :-.
Note: dstlo and dsthi are left pointing to the
destination array.
memcpy(n, &s); Copies n bytes of source array s into destination
array set by prior memdst() call. Data in the
destination array starting at position n is left
undisturbed.
Note: dstlo and dsthi are left pointing to the
destination array.
memswp(n, &s); Swaps n bytes of source array s with destination
array set by prior memdst() call. Data in both
arrays starting at position n is left undisturbed.
Note: dstlo and dsthi are left pointing to the
destination array.
Note: This library expects the following functions to be defined
setdst(&s); Set destination string pointer
setsrc(&s); Set source string pointer and initialize index
along with the zero page pairs
strlo, strhi Source String Pointer
dstlo, dsthi Destination String Pointer
and the memory locations
temp0, temp1 Temporary storage
