hex.write_hex (arity 2)

Effectively:  *ptr = src
src is a hex. ptr is a hex[:w/4] that holds an address, which we assume is dw-aligned.

Signature

def write_hex ptr, src < hex.pointers.read_byte { ... }

Defined in hex/pointers/write_pointers.fj — lines 9–14 (view on GitHub).

Complexity

• Time: w(0.75@+5)  + 11@+25

• Space: w(0.75@+29) + 11@+112

See the complexity glossary for what @, w, dw, dbit, n mean.
