Accurately (this is the catch) read a 64bit register value using a method that can read only 32bit at a time

Question

uint32_t read_context; 
memcpy(&read_context,  (void *)(REGISTER_BASE_ADDR), 4); 
printf("Register MSW: %x 	", read_context, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0); 
memcpy(&read_context, (void *)(REGISTER_BASE_ADDR + 4), 4); 
printf("Register LSW: %x 	" , read_context, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);

    uint64_t reg=0xAAAAAAAAFFFFFFFF,result;
    register_read((void*)®,(void*)&result);

    ptr1=(uint32_t *)(reg);
    ptr2=(uint32_t *)(result);
    for(int i=0;i<2;i++){
        *ptr2=*ptr1;

        ptr2++;
    }

uint64_t result = (uint64_t) read32(ptr1) | read32(ptr1+4)

Create two new buffers. 32 bit buffer and 64 bit buffer. Pass the 32 bit buffer to read32() and when you get back 32 bits, store that in the 64 bit buffer (remember to keep track of the index pointing to the first empty entry in 64 bit buffer). Repeat the above again with empty 32 bit buffer.
