# Types

data Ptr a #

A value of type ``Ptr` a` represents a pointer to an object, or an array of objects, which may be marshalled to or from Haskell values of type `a`.

The type `a` will often be an instance of class `Storable` which provides the marshalling operations. However this is not essential, and you can provide your own operations to access the pointer. For example you might write small foreign functions to get or set the fields of a C `struct`.

# Address arithmetic

nullPtr :: Ptr a #

The constant `nullPtr` contains a distinguished value of `Ptr` that is not associated with a valid memory location.

advancePtr :: forall a. Prim a => Ptr a -> Int -> Ptr a #

Offset a pointer by the given number of elements.

subtractPtr :: forall a. Prim a => Ptr a -> Ptr a -> Int #

Subtract a pointer from another pointer. The result represents the number of elements of type `a` that fit in the contiguous memory range bounded by these two pointers.

# Element access

indexOffPtr :: Prim a => Ptr a -> Int -> a #

Read a value from a memory position given by a pointer and an offset. The memory block the address refers to must be immutable. The offset is in elements of type `a` rather than in bytes.

readOffPtr :: (Prim a, PrimMonad m) => Ptr a -> Int -> m a #

Read a value from a memory position given by an address and an offset. The offset is in elements of type `a` rather than in bytes.

writeOffPtr :: (Prim a, PrimMonad m) => Ptr a -> Int -> a -> m () #

Write a value to a memory position given by an address and an offset. The offset is in elements of type `a` rather than in bytes.

# Block operations

copyPtr #

Arguments

:: forall m a. (PrimMonad m, Prim a) |
=> Ptr a | destination pointer
-> Ptr a | source pointer
-> Int | number of elements
-> m () |

Copy the given number of elements from the second `Ptr` to the first. The areas may not overlap.

movePtr #

Arguments

:: forall m a. (PrimMonad m, Prim a) |
=> Ptr a | destination address
-> Ptr a | source address
-> Int | number of elements
-> m () |

Copy the given number of elements from the second `Ptr` to the first. The areas may overlap.

setPtr :: (Prim a, PrimMonad m) => Ptr a -> Int -> a -> m () #

Fill a memory block with the given value. The length is in elements of type `a` rather than in bytes.

copyPtrToMutablePrimArray #

Arguments

:: forall m a. (PrimMonad m, Prim a) |
=> MutablePrimArray (PrimState m) a | destination array
-> Int | destination offset
-> Ptr a | source pointer
-> Int | number of elements
-> m () |

Copy from a pointer to a mutable primitive array. The offset and length are given in elements of type `a`. This function is only available when building with GHC 7.8 or newer.

copyPtrToMutableByteArray #

Arguments

:: forall m a. (PrimMonad m, Prim a) |
=> MutableByteArray (PrimState m) | destination array
-> Int | destination offset given in elements of type `a`
-> Ptr a | source pointer
-> Int | number of elements
-> m () |

Copy from a pointer to a mutable byte array. The offset and length are given in elements of type `a`. This function is only available when building with GHC 7.8 or newer.
