      Emit memmove, not memcpy, for structure copies; this is unfortunately · df649f3d
      Eli Friedman authored
      required for correctness in cases of copying a struct to itself or to 
      an overlapping struct (itself for cases like *a = *a, and overlapping 
      is possible with unions).
      
      Hopefully, this won't end up being a perf issue; LLVM *should* be able 
      to optimize memmove to memcpy in a lot of cases, and for small copies 
      the generated code *should* be mostly comparable. (In reality, LLVM 
      is currently horrible at optimizing memmove, but that's a bug, not a 
      fundamental issue.)
      
      gcc currently generates wrong code; that's
