Syntax

__as_make_bounds(ptr, number)

__as_make_bounds(ptr, base, bound)

Parameters

Description

Use this operator to create a pointer with bounds information. Use the first syntax to create the bounds ptr up to ptr + size for ptr. The second syntax has explicit bounds. base is a pointer to the first element of the area. bound is a pointer to just beyond the area. Except that each expression will be evaluated only once, the two-parameter variant is equivalent to __as_make_bounds(ptr, ptr, ptr + size).

Example

/* Starting here, p points to a single element */
p = __as_make_bounds(p, 1);
/* Call fun with a pointer with the specified bounds */
fun(__as_make_bounds(q, start, end));
