  It looks like mycroft beat you to it!  :)  (The patch in the
PR only fixes memcpy, and not also memset.  Charles' patch
looks like the egcs one that fixes both.)

  For those interested, this is my test code.  Compile this
with "gcc -S" and inspect the assembly.



typedef struct {
        int array[34];
} foobar;

#define TYPE foobar
extern TYPE *i;
extern TYPE *b;

TYPE foo() {
  /*  this will emit *++b = *++i (memcpy).  */
  *b++ = *i++;
}
  
TYPE bar() {
  /*  this will emit *++i = {0} (memset).  */
  *i++ = (TYPE) {0,};
}
