[Solved] Copying to std::chrono::milliseconds with memcpy() gives error -Werror=class-memaccess [closed]

The safer way to implement this that doesn’t rely on knowing the internal layout of std::chrono::duration would be to copy to an integer then pass the integer to the duration:

std::array<unsigned char, 6> myArray = {123, 123, 112, 0, 15};
int64_t milliseconds = 0;
memcpy(&milliseconds, &myArray, 5);
std::chrono::milliseconds dest{milliseconds};
