Generic Pointers for MPLAB-C18 Compiler

by Isaac Marino Bavaresco

This file is a replacement for the Microchip MPLAB-C18 library's 'memcpy' function.

It takes advantage of my 'generic pointer' implementation, which may copy from both RAM or ROM (FLASH) to RAM.

The Macros and definitions needed to use the 'generic pointers' are located in the file "genericpointer.h".

Usage example:

#include "genericpointer.h"

void RAM *memcpy( void RAM *dst, const void GENERIC *src, size_t n );

char            Buffer[32];
const char ROM  Msg1[] = "This message is in ROM";
char RAM        Msg2[] = "This message is in RAM.";
char GENERIC    *pMsg;

void SomeFunction( const char GENERIC *p )
    {
    // 'p' is already a generic pointer.
    memcpy( Buffer, p, sizeof Buffer );

    // A rom pointer is essentially a generic pointer.
    memcpy( Buffer, Msg1, sizeof Buffer );

    // A ram pointer needs to be converted.
    memcpy( Buffer, MAKE_GEN_PTR_RAM( Msg2 ), sizeof Buffer );

    // Direct conversion.
    pMsg = Msg1;

    // Conversion needed.
    pMsg = MAKE_GEN_PTR_RAM( Msg2 );

    // A generic pointer may point to RAM or ROM.
    if( IS_GEN_PTR_TO_RAM( pMsg ))
        // We will write through it only if it points to RAM.
        memcpy( (char RAM*)pMsg, p, 16 );
    }

This code works only in extended mode.
