I think the error Lee is talking about is due to MSVC Whole Program
Optimization. We were able to work around this by using #pragmas to tell MSVC
to use our own functions for memcpy and memset instead of the compiler's
intrinsic implementations. These functions simply wrap around CopyMem() and
SetMem().
See
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2938966/how-to-use-vc-intrinsic-functions-w-o-run-time-library/2945619#2945619
We were able to get this solution to work without disabling Whole Program
Optimization with VS2010.

Subject: Re: [edk2] "unresolved external _memset" build error and how to fix it

If you get this build error "unresolved external _memset in aLibrary.lib
(aSource.obj)"
It takes a bit of time to solve because the build log doesn't provide a
detailed clue. One way the issue can show up is when you are looping over an
array and setting the array item to 0. The compiler decides to use its
intrinsic function _memset to set the array memory block to 0 instead of
setting each item to 0.
Offending code
Corrected code
MyMemSet((UINT8 *) &myarray, 0, sizeof(myarray));
Is there a reason you could not use the
https://svn.code.sf.net/p/edk2/code/trunk/edk2/MdePkg/Include/Library/BaseMemoryLib.h
ZeroMem()?
for (x = 0; x < MAX_X; x++) {
for (y = 0; y < MAX_Y; y++) {
myarray[x][y] = 0;
} // y loop
} // x loop
You can track down the issue if you modify the library INF and add /FAcs build
flag, e.g.
[BuildOptions.common]
MSFT:*_*_*_CC_FLAGS = /FAcs
You can find where the compiler used its intrinsic function _memset as
disassembly mixed with source code. View the file
Build\YourPkg\<target>_<toolchain>\aPkg\Library\aLibrary\aLibrary\aSource.cod
and search for _memset. The .cod file lists source line numbers to enable you
to find where _memset is being used.
