[PATCH] target/sparc: Use memcpy() in memcpy32()
Posted by Philippe Mathieu-Daudé 5 months ago
Rather than manually copying each register, use
the libc memcpy(), which is well optimized.

Worth renaming as reg8cpy()?

Once upon a time, calling the libc function was slower.
That optimization is probably at least 10 years out of date.
I imagine this gets expanded inline as a vector copy these days.

I'll agree with Pierrick that we can probably remove the function too.

Potentially we could go further and just remove the memcpy32 function.
