If your compiler is capable of handling function arguments and
return values which are structures it almost certainly implements
structure assignment, so what you want is as simple as:

struct foo x;
struct foo y

	x = y;

The only way to compare structures in a portable manner is to
compare corresponding members of the structures one by one.
