Abstract

A fractional data processing is performed until a copy source character string comes to K-byte boundary (e.g., K=8). Then, a series of steps of loading data K-bytes at a time, generating data according to the byte-boundary of the copy destination, and storing data K bytes at a time are repeated. If there is any fractional data remaining at the end part of the character string, the fractional data is copied in the copy destination area.
