/*
|

Offset a given pointer by a given amount backwards.
|
||||
Subtract two pointers of the same type, and return the number of `T` between them.
|
||||
|
||||
This procedure offsets the pointer `ptr` to an object of type `T`, by the amount
|
||||
of bytes specified by `offset*size_of(T)` in the negative direction, and
|
||||
returns the pointer `ptr`.
|
||||
This procedure subtracts pointer `b` from pointer `a`, both of type `^T`,
|
||||
and returns an integer count of the `T` between them.
|
||||
|
||||
**Inputs**
|
||||
- `a`: A pointer to a type T
|
||||
- `b`: A pointer to a type T
|
||||
|
||||
**Returns**
|
||||
- `b` - `a` in items of T as an `int`.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
import "core:mem"
|
||||
import "core:fmt"
|
||||
|
||||
ptr_sub_example :: proc() {
|
||||
arr: [2]int
|
||||
fmt.println(mem.ptr_sub(&arr[1], &arr[0]))
|
||||
}
|
||||
|

Output:
