  21
  22    PAGE_COPY_FWD_MAYBE (dstp, srcp, nbytes_left, nbytes)
  23
  24    which is invoked like WORD_COPY_FWD et al.  The pointers should be at
  25    least word aligned.  This will check if virtual copying by pages can and
  26    should be done and do it if so.
  27
  28    System-specific pagecopy.h files should define these macros and then
  29    #include this file:
  30
  31    PAGE_COPY_THRESHOLD
  32    -- Minimum size for which virtual copying by pages is worthwhile.
  33
  34    PAGE_SIZE
  35    -- Size of a page.
  36
  37    PAGE_COPY_FWD (dstp, srcp, nbytes_left, nbytes)
  38    -- Macro to perform the virtual copy operation.
  39    The pointers will be aligned to PAGE_SIZE bytes.
