Class US


  • public class US
    extends US
    This class allows for accessing absolute memory locations and machine registers on a PowerPC processor. Warning: The inherent safety of Java is avoided. Use these methods with special care and only in low-level drivers! The methods of this class will be translated by inserting machine code instructions directly in the code without a method call.
