Suppose I need to assign one structure to another.
Should each member of the structure be assigned individually or can
memcpy be used ?
Since the compiler can add padding bytes, which approach is always
safer ?

Simply assign one object to another with the assignment operator.
Structure assignments have been supported since C90.
Of course if you only want to assign some members of a struct object
to another, then you'll have to do it manually.
Using memcpy is not usually necessary, since the language directly
supports copying structures.

There seems to be a whole bunch of you doing the same course, asking
the same questions over and over again. Why don't you get together and
nominate one of you to do all the homework?

I know I can assign default values to a structure during
initialization, but I have a routine that accumulates a lot of floats
into an array, and then I would like to assign them to a (reference to
a) structure before exiting. I would like something analogous to
strcpy, but for structures. My example:
in file foo.h:
-----------------------------------
struct _stats {
float slope;

Hi all.
Can I do this to duplicate the contents of struct a in struct b
struct myStruct a, b, *aptr, *bptr;
aptr = a;
bptr = b;
Do something to initialize contents of structure a
memcpy(bptr, aptr, sizeof(myStruct));

Hi folks,
I am in a fix trying to copy data to an array which is member of a
structure. What I am doing right now is:
char array = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7};
memcpy(structure.array, array, 8);
Is there a nicer way of doing this in a single statement?

I want to store a "va_list" in a structure (which gets passed around
from function to function). I cannot use the va_copy() routine
to create a copy of the varargs (it looks like it uses stack memory).
Has anyone written some portable code to create a copy of the varargs
information, and subsequent routines to retrieve the varargs information?
Thanks in advance!

I'm getting weird results at the moment so thought I'd rebase my
knowledge of c++ storage with your help :)
I have a class used as a type in a struct and the struct is handled by
a 3rd party binary writed for persistent storage. I am confused by the
results I am getting and am not sure how the 3rd party writer is
seeing the size of the stuct.

Hi Everyone,
I was just wondering, about the overloaded assignment operator for
user defined objects. It is used to make sure that the following works
properly,
obj1 = obj;
so the overloaded operator function performs the necessary copy of
obj's member in to obj1. Can't the same be done using copy

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,...
