[Coin-discuss] Performance of CoinMemcpyN()

[Joseph Young]

Hi,
	By default, the function CoinMemcpyN() copies the elements from 
one array to another using a for loop.  Using memcpy() would most likely 
make this operation much faster.

	If COIN is compiled with the flag -DUSE_MEMCPY, then this function 
will use memcpy() to copy the array.  However, by default, this 
flag is not set.  There's also not a good place, that I can see, to add 
this flag to the make process (although there's a number of places that it 
could be put where it will work.)

	Shouldn't the default behavior of this funtion use memcpy()?  If 
not, it would be nice to have this flag hilighted in the Makefiles so that 
users know that they can turn it on.

Sinc, Joseph Young
