Copying structure in C with assignment instead of memcpy()

Question

Up until recently, I have only seen copying of structure fields done with memcpy(). In classes and online instructions, copying the contents of one struct into

Answer 1

This could not be the exact answer you looking for.

Im explaining scenario which I met.

when we use memcpy(), it does byte-by-byte copy to destination. so no worry about data alignment in ARM architecture. If you use = operator, and any one of the address is not aligned to 4-byte then alignment fault will come.

From Arm site:

A pointer to the destination location that is one byte beyond the last byte written to. This enables continuation of the writing process with perfect alignment of bytes for string concatenation of memory blocks.
