Utility methods on Pointers.
/** * Utility methods on Pointers. */
public final class PointerUtils { private PointerUtils() { // This is a class of static methods, so no need for any instances. }
Round a Pointer down to the nearest smaller multiple.
Params:
  • that – The Pointer to be rounded up.
  • multiple – The multiple to which that Pointer should be decreased.
Returns:That Pointer, but rounded down.

Round a Pointer up to the nearest larger multiple.
Params:
  • that – The Pointer to be rounded up.
  • multiple – The multiple to which that Pointer should be increased.
Returns:That Pointer, but rounded up.

Check that a Pointer is an even multiple.
Params:
  • that – The Pointer to be verified as a multiple.
  • multiple – The multiple against which the Pointer should be verified.
Returns:true if that Pointer is a multiple, false otherwise.

Return the distance between two Pointers.
Params:
  • pointer1 – A first Pointer.
  • pointer2 – A second Pointer.
Returns:The distance in bytes between the two Pointers.

The minimum of two Pointers.
Params:
