memcpy和memmove的区别

memcpy和memmove的区别就是：

memcpy不支持目标和源内存区域重叠

memmove则支持

 

#ifndef __HAVE_ARCH_MEMCPY
/**
 * memcpy - Copy one area of memory to another
 * @dest: Where to copy to
 * @src: Where to copy from
 * @count: The size of the area.
 *
 * You should not use this function to access IO space, use memcpy_toio()
 * or memcpy_fromio() instead.
 */
void *memcpy(void *dest, const void *src, size_t count)
{
	char *tmp = dest;
	const char *s = src;

	while (count--)
		*tmp++ = *s++;
	return dest;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(memcpy);
#endif

#ifndef __HAVE_ARCH_MEMMOVE
/**
 * memmove - Copy one area of memory to another
 * @dest: Where to copy to
 * @src: Where to copy from
 * @count: The size of the area.
 *
 * Unlike memcpy(), memmove() copes with overlapping areas.
 */
void *memmove(void *dest, const void *src, size_t count)
{
	char *tmp;
	const char *s;

	if (dest <= src) {
		tmp = dest;
		s = src;
		while (count--)
			*tmp++ = *s++;
	} else {
		tmp = dest;
		tmp += count;
		s = src;
		s += count;
		while (count--)
			*--tmp = *--s;
	}
	return dest;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(memmove);
#endif

因此，在不确定拷贝内存区域是否重叠时，最好用memmove。
