Exercise any_copy

Write a generic function any_copy() that copies the content of an array into another one (like the C memcpy() function does) void any_copy(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n);

Where:

• dest: pointer to the first element of the destination array
• src: pointer to the first element of the source array
• n: number of bytes of the source array to copy into the destination array

Implementation

Implemented as a cast from generic type to unsigned char to work on it as bytes.

Each element is considered as an unsigned char (regular byte), then it's copied in destination array.

void any_copy(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n)
{
    assert(dest != NULL);
    assert(src != NULL);

    unsigned char *temp_dest = dest;
    const unsigned char *temp_src = src;

    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        temp_dest[i] = temp_src[i];
}
