Prototype
void Mem_SegCreate (const CPU_CHAR *p_name, MEM_SEG *p_seg, CPU_ADDR seg_base_addr, CPU_SIZE_T size, CPU_SIZE_T padding_align, LIB_ERR *p_err);
Arguments
p_name
Pointer to segment name.
p_seg
Pointer to segment data. Must be allocated by caller.
seg_base_addr
Address of segment's first byte.
size
Total size of segment, in bytes.
padding_align
Padding alignment, in bytes, that will be added to any allocated buffer from this memory segment. MUST be a power of 2. LIB_MEM_SEG_PADDING_ALIGN_NONE means no padding.
p_err
Pointer to variable that will receive the return error code from this function.
LIB_MEM_ERR_NONE
LIB_MEM_ERR_INVALID_SEG_SIZE
LIB_MEM_ERR_INVALID_MEM_ALIGN
LIB_MEM_ERR_NULL_PTR
LIB_MEM_ERR_INVALID_SEG_OVERLAP
LIB_MEM_ERR_INVALID_SEG_EXISTS
Returned Value
None.
Required Configuration
None.
Notes / Warnings
- New segments are checked for overlap with existing segments. A critical section needs to be maintained during the whole list search and add procedure to prevent a reentrant call from creating another segment overlapping with the one being added.
