Ah, well, you see, gdb does not know "memcpy" as a 
command, but it understands it as part of an expression.

    (gdb) print memcpy (myArray, whatever, 3*sizeof(double))

For this special case of calling a function when you
do not really care to see the return value printed, 
there is the command "call".  Just substitute "call"
for "print" above.
