Heh, it's so complex, so machine-dependent....
That makes me wonder why we still don't have 3 simple to use
instructions that do equivalent of memmove(), memcpy() and memset() all
in hardware in the best possible way with the respect of block size,
alignment, caches, chipset, you-name-it? Virtually every program would
benefit from such instructions.
