     m68k_sync_icache - instruction cache synchronization

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

     library ``libm68k''

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <m68k/sync_icache.h>

     void
     m68k_sync_icache(void *start, size_t size);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     m68k_sync_icache() synchronizes data and instruction caches over the
     specified region.  It should be called prior to executing newly generated
     code.

     The affected address range starts at start and continues for size bytes.
     If start is 0, all the address space of the current execution thread is
     affected.  Addresses outside the specified region may be synchronized,
     too.

     The call always succeeds.
