[llvm-dev] Reliably mapping memcpy intrinsic

[Matt Fysh via llvm-dev]

Cool, - thanks Hiroshi! I gave it a try, however I'm finding that after
setting to zero, it fails when trying to build a particular file
(locale.cpp from libc++):
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/master/libcxx/src/locale.cpp

Any ideas why that might be?

Thanks again,
matt.
