A good > compiler will inline such a memcpy anyway. Actually, for a normal application, the compiler knows what memcpy() does and can make assumptions based on the actual structure type involved. This can cause extreme grief if you try to copy from a misaligned pointer into a local variable (strictly, in valid C, you can never get a misaligned pointer - and the compiler will use word accesses).

Any reason you didn't use this approach in the other functions?
I don't know really. Doing a memcpy to a local rectangle seems a more
natural way to do it, as I don't really like to modify input arguments.
In this case I guess I just blindly copied an existing solution that I
found later during the review of the other codecs.
If you want I can unify the implementations so that all of them look
like the one above.
