write_relative_pointer

procedure2 overloadsSource

Stores a relative pointer of integer type type at pointer_address that leads to target_address; null clears it.

write_relative_pointer :: (
    $type: Type,
    pointer_address: *void,
    target_address: *void
)

Example↗

slot: s16;
value: u8;
write_relative_pointer(s16, *slot, *value);
assert(decode_relative_pointer_static(s16, *slot) == *value);

write_relative_pointer :: (
    $type: Type,
    pointer_address: *void,
    base_address: *void,
    target_address: *void
)

Like the three-argument form, but the offset counts from base_address instead of from where the pointer is stored.
