The backend will sometimes generate a call to the C library memset, 
memcpy, or memmove to lower a call to the LLVM intrinsics with the same 
name.  Depending on the target/optimization flags/length of the 
operation, in some cases it will generate inline code, or generate a 
call to a function with a different name.
