LIBRARY

m68k Architecture Library (libm68k, -lm68k)

SYNOPSIS

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

void
m68k_sync_icache(void *start, size_t size);

DESCRIPTION

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.
