Good Morning ALE'rs:
This is a question for the C programmers out there. I have a situation
where I need to copy a rather large data structure to another memory
location. Is there a C function that I can use to do this rather than
going through the arduous task of allocating memory and coping each
element manually? In addition, since this project is still in
development, the makeup of the structure may change and I don't want to
worry about having to keep my manual routine updated. The structure
contains a combination of character arrays, integer values and pointers
to other structures. Since this is a structure, is all the allocated
memory for the structure in one contiguous chunk? If so, could I then
use something like memcpy to do the job?
