================
Comment at: lib/Transforms/InstCombine/InstCombineCalls.cpp:185-186
 
   // If MemCpyInst length is 1/2/4/8 bytes then replace memcpy with
   // load/store.
   ConstantInt *MemOpLength = dyn_cast<ConstantInt>(MI->getArgOperand(2));

The test contains loops to show that builtin_memcpy within the loops , will also be converted to either memcpy or store and load operations depending on the maximum allowed stores
