I'm guessing it's better because the code becomes clearer and easier to
understand. It also eliminates the possibility of human error when
specifying the number of bytes to memcpy.

The actual assembly code generated is dependent on the compiler. Given a
specific definition of the structure, the compiler may choose to handle the
assignment the same way it handles a memcpy.
