C: Solution Needed

Heater.

Is there any benefit to a memcpy?

Oh yes. One can pass structs into functions as parameters. You can return structs from functions in return values. Just like any char, int, etc value.

my_struct_t func (my_struct_t a, my_struct_t b)
{
    // Bla bla
    
    my_struct_t result = whatever....
    return result;
}

That's OK until the structs get big, then there is a lot of copying into parameters and results getting compiled in there. Shall we say slow.

Hence we normally pass pointers to structs. Hence we can end up using memcpy.

But not always. Why not: *aPtr = *bPtr for example.

Okay, I will try to get by on what was discussed here, but be forewarned, if I get warnings or errors, I'll be back

Some people are in your face about things but you take criticism too personally.
Sometimes you are wrong about things, don't understand them correctly, or too narrowly focused on what you consider to be the ideal solution.

That's the way you are and most people try to be helpful but you can be a pain about it.
You do some interesting stuff so we tolerate it.

Others are equal opportunity button-pressers. :P

Yea, I think I do some interesting stuff, so thank you. I am also fairly tolerant of others. Gettting better with age Just imagine if I ever intended to be annoying, like some folks

In all the years that I have been here, I have MAYBE reported five posts. I never really cared for snitches or brownies.

Bruce, I guess you're not a fan of quidditch either.

Okay, those brownies look good....

Are you referring to the broom flying sport? If so, that's a bit to risky for me. I will remain a spectator.

Bruce, surprisingly Heater has been well behaved lately.
