<h4 class="subsubsection">23.3.3.24 Memory Ports in Guile</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p><small>GDB</small> provides a <code>port</code> interface to target memory.
|
|
This allows Guile code to read/write target memory using Guile’s port and
|
|
bytevector functionality. The main routine is <code>open-memory</code> which
|
|
returns a port object. One can then read/write memory using that object.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><a name="index-open_002dmemory"></a>Scheme Procedure: <strong>open-memory</strong> <em><span class="roman">[</span>#:mode mode] <span class="roman">[</span>#:start address] <span class="roman">[</span>#:size size]</em></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Return a port object that can be used for reading and writing memory.
|
|
The port will be open according to <var>mode</var>, which is the standard
|
|
mode argument to Guile port open routines, except that the ‘<samp>"a"</samp>’
|
|
and ‘<samp>"l"</samp>’ modes are not supported.
|
|
See <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/File-Ports.html#File-Ports">File Ports</a> in <cite>GNU Guile Reference Manual</cite>.
|
|
The ‘<samp>"b"</samp>’ (binary) character may be present, but is ignored:
|
|
memory ports are binary only. If ‘<samp>"0"</samp>’ is appended then
|
|
the port is marked as unbuffered.
|
|
The default is ‘<samp>"r"</samp>’, read-only and buffered.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The chunk of memory that can be accessed can be bounded.
|
|
If both <var>start</var> and <var>size</var> are unspecified, all of memory can be
|
|
accessed. If only <var>start</var> is specified, all of memory from that point
|
|
on can be accessed. If only <var>size</var> if specified, all memory in the
|
|
range [0,<var>size</var>) can be accessed. If both are specified, all memory
|
|
in the rane [<var>start</var>,<var>start</var>+<var>size</var>) can be accessed.

<p>A memory port is closed like any other port, with <code>close-port</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Combined with Guile’s <code>bytevectors</code>, memory ports provide a lot
|
|
of utility. For example, to fill a buffer of 10 integers in memory,
|
|
one can do something like the following.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">;; In the program: int buffer[10];
|
|
(use-modules (rnrs bytevectors))
|
|
(use-modules (rnrs io ports))
|
|
(define addr (parse-and-eval "buffer"))
|
|
(define n 10)
|
|
(define byte-size (* n 4))
|
|
(define mem-port (open-memory #:mode "r+" #:start
|
|
(value->integer addr) #:size byte-size))
|
|
(define byte-vec (make-bytevector byte-size))
|
|
(do ((i 0 (+ i 1)))
|
|
((>= i n))
|
|
(bytevector-s32-native-set! byte-vec (* i 4) (* i 42)))
|
|
(put-bytevector mem-port byte-vec)
|
|
(close-port mem-port)
