resolved: difference between memcpy and memmove

Mac
$ cat junk27.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main (void)
{
printf("The difference between memcpy and memmove is %ld\n",
(long int) memcpy - (long int) memmove);
return 0;
}

$ make junk27
cc -Wall -ansi -pedantic junk27.c -o junk27

$ ./junk27
The difference between memcpy and memmove is 48
$
So now we can put that behind us.

mix up the b and d chars ? i read that first as dlackdirbs :-)


No, but I am not sure if you should be comforted by your new-found
company :-)

"we apologise for the inconvenience" is what I am aiming for :-)

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?

(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 copying data from one buffer(this data is a binary data not string) to another buffer. Earlier when I used C, I used the memcpy function call to copy the values. Is there any equivalent replacement in C++ for this call.

Hi all, memmove() is guranteed to work correctly if the objects overlap, I am not sure why this can't be done without any extra condition check in code for the memmove() implementation or why would memcpy() fail in this situation. Please advice. Thanks in advance, Gsi.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
