xref: /OK3568_Linux_fs/buildroot/package/screen/0001-no-memcpy-fallback.patch (revision 4882a59341e53eb6f0b4789bf948001014eff981)

From: Maarten ter Huurne <maarten@treewalker.org>

Subject: Do not use memcpy as an alternative for bcopy/memmove

The configure script runs a small test program to check whether
memcpy can handle overlapping memory areas. However, it is not valid
to conclude that if a single case of overlapping memory is handled
correctly, all cases will be handled correctly.

Since screen already has its own bcopy implementation as a fallback
for the case that bcopy and memmove are unusable, removing the memcpy
option should not break any systems.
