Member Function Documentation

add()

static IntPtr add ( this IntPtr pointer, long offset )

inlinestatic

Adds an offset to the address wrapped by a System.IntPtr instance.

Returns

A new System.IntPtr instance pointing to the new memory location.

Parameters

[in]	pointer	The System.IntPtr instance
[in]	offset	An offset in bytes

align()

static IntPtr align ( this IntPtr pointer, int alignmentInBits )

inlinestatic

Will align a user space address to a certain bit boundary.

Returns

A new System.IntPtr instance pointing to the aligned memory location.

Parameters

[in]	pointer	The System.IntPtr instance
[in]	alignmentInBits	The alignment in bits

subtract()

static long subtract ( this IntPtr firstPointer, IntPtr secondPointer )

inlinestatic

Subtracts 2 System.IntPtr instances from one another.

Returns

The difference between the 2 memory locations in bytes.

Parameters

[in]	firstPointer	The System.IntPtr instance
[in]	secondPointer	The second System.IntPtr instance
