Commit 24d85952 made a change that indirectly caused a performance regression by triggering a change in the way GCC optimizes memcpy() on some platforms. The behavior seemed to contradict a GCC document, so I filed a report: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=95556 This patch implements a narrow workaround which eliminates the regression I observed. The workaround is benign enough that it seems unlikely to cause a different regression on another platform. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/99b2eab335c1592c925d8143979c8e9e81e1575f.camel@j-davis.com
