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.

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.
There should be no limitations on on alignment. These functions can
accept
any address.
Michael.
