Public bug reported:
C compiler bcc copies structs and returns structs correctly but fails to
pass them to functions. From checking it turns out that the generated
code calls _memcpy with the wrong parameters. For example, this is the
generated assembly which should pass a 6-byte struct to a function.
! Debug: list struct composite original = [S+$14-$C] (used reg = )
add sp,*-6
mov ax,sp <--- presumably the target address
mov ax,*6 <--- gets overwritten by the size of the struct
push ax <--- push the size of the struct
lea bx,-$A[bp]
push bx <--- push the source address
push ax <--- should be the target address
call _memcpy
add sp,*6
