/* This file defines the macro:
PAGE_COPY_FWD_MAYBE (dstp, srcp, nbytes_left, nbytes)
which is invoked like WORD_COPY_FWD et al. The pointers should be at
least word aligned. This will check if virtual copying by pages can and
should be done and do it if so.
System-specific pagecopy.h files should define these macros and then
#include this file:
PAGE_COPY_THRESHOLD
-- Minimum size for which virtual copying by pages is worthwhile.
PAGE_SIZE
-- Size of a page.
PAGE_COPY_FWD (dstp, srcp, nbytes_left, nbytes)
-- Macro to perform the virtual copy operation.
The pointers will be aligned to PAGE_SIZE bytes.
