#include <string.h>

extern char _src[], _dst[]; // Defined by the linker

int main(void) {
  char *l_src = src;
  char *l_dst = dst;
  asm ("" : "+r" (l_src));
  asm ("" : "+r" (l_dst));
    memcpy(l_src, l_dst + 1024, 1111);
    return 0;
}

Well this works too because you are not comparing the start and ends:
#include <string.h>

extern char _src[], _dst[]; // Defined by the linker

int main(void) {
    memcpy(&_dst[0], &_src[0] + 1024, 1111);
    return 0;
}

Basically this is a C question really as _src/_dst is only size of 1 in the
original code you provided while in the above two cases it is an unknown size.
