Question

I would like the accomplish the same result that happens with memcpy without actually using memcpy.

Here is the code I would like to change away from memcpy.

memcpy((char *) &(serv_addr.sin_addr.s_addr), 
    (char *)(server->h_addr), server->h_length);

Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

You can recode memcpy easily with a for loop. If the compiler provides intrinsics, you can use them. Gcc has __builtin_memcpy. But the most important thing is that you are probably wrong in doing so, memcpy is used everywhere and can’t be buggy.
