put_unaligned9
Put value to a possibly mis-aligned location
Usage
put_unaligned(val, ptr);
Arguments
val
value to place
ptr
pointer to location
Overview
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.
