50 Andy Dougherty August 1996
52 /* bool is built-in for g++-2.6.3 and later, which might be used
53 for extensions. <_G_config.h> defines _G_HAVE_BOOL, but we can't
54 be sure _G_config.h will be included before this file. _G_config.h
55 also defines _G_HAVE_BOOL for both gcc and g++, but only g++
56 actually has bool. Hence, _G_HAVE_BOOL is pretty useless for us.

88 /* XXX A note on the perl source internal type system. The
89 original intent was that I32 be *exactly* 32 bits.
91 Currently, we only guarantee that I32 is *at least* 32 bits.
92 Specifically, if int is 64 bits, then so is I32. (This is the case
93 for the Cray.) This has the advantage of meshing nicely with
94 standard library calls (where we pass an I32 and the library is
95 expecting an int), but the disadvantage that an I32 is not 32 bits.
96 Andy Dougherty August 1996
98 There is no guarantee that there is *any* integral type with
99 exactly 32 bits. It is perfectly legal for a system to have
100 sizeof(short) == sizeof(int) == sizeof(long) == 8.
102 Similarly, there is no guarantee that I16 and U16 have exactly 16

523 bytes of preallocated string space the SV should have. An extra byte for a
524 tailing NUL is also reserved. (SvPOK is not set for the SV even if string
525 space is allocated.) The reference count for the new SV is set to 1.
526 C<id> is an integer id between 0 and 1299 (used to identify leaks).

538 The XSUB-writer's interface to the C C<malloc> function. The allocated
539 memory is zeroed with C<memzero>.

551 =for apidoc Am|void|Move|void* src|void* dest|int nitems|type
552 The XSUB-writer's interface to the C C<memmove> function. The C<src> is the
553 source, C<dest> is the destination, C<nitems> is the number of items, and C<type> is
554 the type. Can do overlapping moves. See also C<Copy>.
556 =for apidoc Am|void|Copy|void* src|void* dest|int nitems|type
557 The XSUB-writer's interface to the C C<memcpy> function. The C<src> is the
558 source, C<dest> is the destination, C<nitems> is the number of items, and C<type> is
559 the type. May fail on overlapping copies. See also C<Move>.
561 =for apidoc Am|void|Zero|void* dest|int nitems|type
563 The XSUB-writer's interface to the C C<memzero> function. The C<dest> is the
564 destination, C<nitems> is the number of items, and C<type> is the type.
