In normal usage, objects are in-process and are thus 18// instantiated with the `LocalAddressSpaceView` type. This type is used to 19// load any pointers in instance methods. This implementation is effectively 20// a no-op. When an object is to be used in an out-of-process manner it is 21// instansiated with the `RemoteAddressSpaceView` type. 22// 23// By making `AddressSpaceView` a template parameter of an object, it can 24// change its implementation at compile time which has no run time overhead. 25// This also allows unifying in-process and out-of-process code which avoids 26// code duplication. 27// 28//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// 29#ifndef SANITIZER_LOCAL_ADDRES_SPACE_VIEW_H 30#define SANITIZER_LOCAL_ADDRES_SPACE_VIEW_H 31 32namespace __sanitizer { 33struct LocalAddressSpaceView { 34 // Load memory `sizeof(T) * num_elements` bytes of memory from the target 35 // process (always local for this implementation) starting at address 36 // `target_address`.
