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). end System.Memory_Copy;
