+ * The below switch allow to select different access method for improved performance.
+ * Method 0 (default) : use `memcpy()`. Safe and portable.
+ * Method 1 : `__packed` statement. It depends on compiler extension (ie, not portable).
+ *            This method is safe if your compiler supports it, and *generally* as fast or faster than `memcpy`.
+ * Method 2 : direct access. This method is portable but violate C standard.
+ *            It can generate buggy code on targets which assembly generation depends on alignment.
+ *            But in some circumstances, it's the only known way to get the most performance (ie GCC + ARMv6)
+ * See https://fastcompression.blogspot.fr/2015/08/accessing-unaligned-memory.html for details.
