mi_put_double_precision()

 The mi_put_double_precision() function copies a double precision value to a buffer regardless of alignment.

Syntax

Usage

 The mi_put_double_precision() function is useful for implementing send and receive functions for user data types when aligned values such as an mi_double_precision need to be written to possibly unaligned data buffers.

The returned address is advanced the length of an mi_double_precision value to permit a subsequent copy. Upon completion, mi_put_double_precision() returns the address of the next buffer to which data can be copied, advanced the length of the copied value. In other words, if n is the length of the value in valp, the returned address is n bytes advanced from the original buffer address in datap.

Return Values

Returns a new datap address.
