<div class="markdown_content"><p>The addition of a group of memory management functions with which to <br /> create, locate, navigate and alter the contents of 'memory banks' (to coin <br /> an AMOS / STOS phrase). Suggested functions (lifted directly from the <br /> manuals for the previously mentioned apps):</p> <p>"Reserve As (bankNum, lengthInBytes)" //Create a user defined block of <br /> [zeroed] memory on the tb heap</p> <p>"addr=Start(bankNum)" //loads the int addr with the address of the first <br /> byte of memblock bankNum</p> <p>"size=Length(bankNum)" // returns memblock size in bytes</p> <p>"Erase(bankNum)" //Delete the memblock bankNum</p> <p>"byte=Peek(addr); word=Deek(addr); long=Leek(addr)" //Get values held <br /> at addr</p> <p>"Poke(byte, addr); Doke(word, addr); Loke(long, addr)" //Set values held at <br /> addr</p> <p>"addr=Varptr(variableName)" //Get address of variable</p> <p>"bool=Exists(bankNum)" //Has bankNum been defined. Not originally <br /> present, but a handy addition</p> <p>If this were to be implemented, it would also be 'really' handy to be able <br /> to define the values of integers in hex and binary string notation (for <br /> masking and other binary operations).</p></div>
