io_port

A set of templates for building interface classes to memory mapped hardware ports.

They avoid the need to directly map carefully packed (and possibly non-portable) structures onto memory addresses.

Note: A read from a write-only, or write to a read-only port will result in a compile time error.

Defines classes for the following IO types:-

Read / Write.

Read only.

Write only.

Write only with shadow register.

With a shadow register, the value written is stored locally and may be read back.

The port may either have an address fixed at compile time or set at runtime. The compile time versions require no

extra overhead compared to a plain memory mapped structure.

Ports may be sent as parameters to algorithms that expect iterators, except the runtime address version of

io_port_wos, which must use the built-in iterator if the shadow value is to be correctly updated for writes.

All classes define the following typedefs.

typedef volatile T* pointer;

typedef volatile const T* const_pointer;

typedef volatile T& reference;

typedef volatile const T& const_reference;
