Yes, this should be handled by memmove(), but I encourage verification of assumptions. If the code is supposed to be aligned due to default natural alignment, inlining of memmove() might optimize on that information (although it shouldn't if you compile -O0) If sanitizer is available, you can try compiling with -fsanitize=alignment Cheers, Glenn -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
