memcpy and alternatives..
Author
How is memcpy really implemented? How large data blocks do I have to copy before memcpy gets more efficient than regular assignments, or copying packed data with SSE?

run your program through the VC++ debugger. and step through the "memcpy" function...

if you want to see the "memcpy" code in optimized mode create a release program with the "memcpy" function and disassemble the program.

But what's this crazy thing I hear about memcpy "sometimes" being inlined, and sometimes not? Is this something I can control, or is this just plain BS?

i believe it uses inline "memcpy" when data is aligned on a 32-bit boundary.
