memcpy in C#

Hi:
We need to manipulate data block in C#, is there anything in C# similiar as
memcpy/memset in C++?
copy bytes one by one is really a night mare for me.

Thanks

(Actually memcpy/memset are usually libc or compiler-lib functions)

Try timing System.Array.Co py, I would expect it to have (at least
mildly) optimized code for value-type arrays.

How much does it slow your application down, compared to your
expectation and to a C-like implementation?

try Buffer.Copy(). it is faster than Array.Copy()

Hello, following my question on "std::copy versus pointer copy versus member copy", I had some doubts on the function memcpy, as was used by tom_usenet in his reply. - Is this a c++ standard library function? That is, can I be sure that every c++ standard library has this function? Or is there a c++ alternative to it?

Hi all, I'm a little confused - my guess is memcpy is no longer (or perhaps never was) a standard c++ function, since it has very little type check into it - and can potentially create havoc for user-defined types. Now my confusion is here - a simple instantiation of the standard copy algorithm can be quite slow compared to the older memcpy for obvious reasons - specially for a large array of built-in types like int or something; so do...

Ok, it's been a while since I've done the whole memcpy stuff with C++ and I'm having a hard time remembering everything. I hope, however, that you can help me with my problem. I memcpy a struct into a buffer to put it into a database (BerkeleyDB, to be specific) - what do I do to memcpy the thing back? Code Example: //struct I want to work with

(if this is a FAQ or in K&R2, I didn't find it) What parameters (if any) may be 0 or NULL? IOW, which of the following statements are guaranteed to produce well-defined behavior? char src; char dst; memcpy( dst, src, 1 ); memcpy( NULL, src, 1 );

Hi, I am a bit confused over the correct usage of memcpy(). Kindly help me clear the confusion. The linux manpage for memcpy(3) gives me the following prototype of memcpy(3): #include <string.h> void *memcpy(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n);

Hi List, I want to write a function to copy some data out of a hardware buffer. The hardware can change the contents of this buffer without it being written to by my function. I want to use memcpy to unload the data. Do I need to specify the source data as volatile in this case? What is the correct syntax for specifying that the data pointed to by the source pointer is volatile and not the pointer itself?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
