We should at least make sure to use memcpy for the array part in

struct {
  volatile int i;
  int a[100000];
} a, b;
a = b;

do we really want to blow up code-size (and compile-time) for

struct {
  volatile int a[1000000];
} a, b;
a = b;

?  And what's the difference of the above to

volatile struct {
  int a[1000000];
} a, b;
a = b;

?

What do other compilers do for the above?  Is there a DR?
