Hi everyone,

I'm back to working on the x86_64 implementations of FillWord, FillDWord and FillQWord again due to demand from a couple of end users.

https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=32637

One question I do have though, because the documentation doesn't bring it up... must the functions be able to handle memory that isn't aligned to their respective sizes? That is, should FillWord handle memory that's not aligned to 2 bytes etc? I would be grateful for an answer, because if I'm allowed to assume the memory is at least aligned to the size boundary, I can greatly simplify my assembly language.

Gareth aka. Kit
