--  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.

with System.CRTL;
--  The above with is contrary to the intent ???

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).
