See https://github.com/embed-rs/volatile/pull/6#issuecomment-433612911 and https://github.com/embed-rs/volatile/pull/5#issuecomment-353783786 as to why this hasn't been done yet.
I would like to see VolatileArray be implemented, is that possible now? @phil-opp

Oh it seems like I forgot to look at the MRs to check if this was already asked. Sorry about that. Anyway thanks for your answer.
I'd also be interested to know if something like VolatileArray could be useful.
I think it should be possible to implement VolatileArray
and VolatileSlice
types now that we have basic support for const generics in Rust, but I'm not 100% sure.
The new v0.5.0 release includes both a VolatilePtr
type that implements Copy
and (unstable) methods for accessing slices and arrays.
So I have been following the 'Writing an OS in Rust' guide. And while I was experimenting and reading through the code I noticed that
Copy
hasn't been implemented forVolatile
.This could be useful when writing code:
After this the new line function for the VGA buffer can be implemented as follows:
Now I did notice that
copy_within
uses the normalptr::copy
instead of volatile_copy_memory. Is this a potential issue?Anyway let me know if you want to add this, if so I will make a short MR.
