PutMem8
Writes eight bytes to a memory address.
Syntax: PutMem8 Address , Value
- Address
- required LongPtr. The address to write to.
- Value
- required Currency. A Currency carrier whose underlying eight bytes are stored at Address.
Currency is used as the eight-byte carrier --- its in-memory representation is a raw 64-bit pattern, scaled by the type's fixed factor of 10000 only at the point of arithmetic. To pack an arbitrary 64-bit integer, LSet it into a Currency before calling PutMem8.
The address is written directly with no bounds or alignment check.
Example
This example writes an 8-byte value to a buffer and reads it back.
vb
Dim buf As LongPtr = AllocMem(8)
Dim src As Currency = 1000000@
PutMem8 buf, src
Dim dst As Currency
GetMem8 buf, dst ' dst = src (same raw 8-byte pattern)
FreeMem buf
