Subject: [PATCH 17/23] cx23885: Replace memcpy with struct assignment
Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2012 16:57:20 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1351022246-8201-17-git-send-email-elezegarcia@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1351022246-8201-1-git-send-email-elezegarcia@gmail.com>

This kind of memcpy() is error-prone. Its replacement with a struct
assignment is prefered because it's type-safe and much easier to read.

Found by coccinelle. Hand patched and reviewed.
Tested by compilation only.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
identifier struct_name;
struct struct_name to;
struct struct_name from;
expression E;
@@
-memcpy(&(to), &(from), E);
+to = from;
// </smpl>
