PetscMemcpy

Copies n bytes, beginning at location b, to the space beginning at location a. The two memory regions CANNOT overlap, use PetscMemmove() in that case.

Synopsis

PETSC_STATIC_INLINE PetscErrorCode PetscMemcpy(void *a,const void *b,size_t n)
Not Collective Many br

Input Parameters

b - pointer to initial memory space Many br
n - length (in bytes) of space to copy Many br

Output Parameter

a -pointer to copy space Many br

Many br

Compile Option

PETSC_PREFER_DCOPY_FOR_MEMCPY will cause the BLAS dcopy() routine to be used Many brfor memory copies on double precision values. Many brPETSC_PREFER_COPY_FOR_MEMCPY will cause C code to be used Many brfor memory copies on double precision values. Many brPETSC_PREFER_FORTRAN_FORMEMCPY will cause Fortran code to be used Many brfor memory copies on double precision values. Many br

Note

This routine is analogous to memcpy(). Many br

Developer Note: this is inlined for fastest performance Many br
