Eq Addr

Ord Addr

Prim Addr

nullAddr :: Addr

The null address

plusAddr :: Addr -> Int -> Addr

Offset an address by the given number of bytes

minusAddr :: Addr -> Addr -> Int

Distance in bytes between two addresses. The result is only valid if the difference fits in an Int.

remAddr :: Addr -> Int -> Int

indexOffAddr :: Prim a => Addr -> Int -> a

Read a value from a memory position given by an address 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.

readOffAddr :: (Prim a, PrimMonad m) => Addr -> 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.

writeOffAddr :: (Prim a, PrimMonad m) => Addr -> 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.
