No, if you think about it a structure is like a tiny buffer. The only way to copy that is by using memcpy. This is why

Structs support bitwise copying without memcpy() (though perhaps it is used internally to implement this), provided the size is known:

struct foo s1;

struct foo s2;

s1.x = ...;

s1.y = ...;

s2 = s1;

assert(s2.x == s1.x)
