: Is struct assignment even _supposed_ to work?
AFAIK, it's part of C90, and perhaps earlier standards. Struct assignment
is used (implicitly) in div(3) and ldiv(3); the respective return values are
typedefs to structs.
However, I believe it is constrained to both the source and destination
being valid structs (where a misaligned block of memory may not be a valid
struct).
