Memcpy unexpected behavior - c++

Question

I'm coding my own version of Tetris. While creating blockRotation method I encountered weird problem with memcpy. During second call for blockRotate, my bool[4*4] array is not saved corectly, despite that is generated properly. What's wrong?
This is my error log:
arr_shift[0]: true
arr_shift[1]: false
arr_shift[2]: false
arr_shift[3]: false
arr_shift[4]: true
arr_shift[5]: true

shape[8]: false
shape[9]: false
shape[10]: false
shape[11]: false
shape[12]: false
shape[13]: false
shape[14]: false
shape[15]: false
And this is my code:
memset(shape, 0, 16*sizeof(bool));
if(toShift == true) {
memcpy(shape, arr_shift, 16*sizeof(bool));
}
else {
memcpy(shape, arr_rot, 16*sizeof(bool));
}
for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
for(int j = 0; j < 4; j++) {
fprintf(stderr, "shape[%i]: %s\n", i*4+j, shape[i*4+j]? "true":"false" );
}
}
fprintf(stderr, "\n\n");
Declararation of shape is in Block class header, and is as follows:
bool shape[16];

You haven't shown us where arr_rot is declared or what value toShift is. However, most likely either toShift is true or you declared where arr_rot points to on the stack in another function.
