Name
put_unaligned —
put value to a possibly mis-aligned location
Synopsis
put_unaligned ( val, ptr);
Arguments
val
value to place
ptr
pointer to location
Description
This macro should be used for placing values larger in size than
single bytes at locations that are expected to be improperly aligned,
e.g. writing a u16 value to a location not u16-aligned.
Note that unaligned accesses can be very expensive on some architectures.
