Why don't you disassemble the function? It should either be inlined to
produce a tight loop or a call to a memzero function.
Note that some compilers will replace a naive loop to zero or copy memory
with a call to an internal memset or memcpy function. The Intel compiler has
done this for a while. I find it slightly amusing that they made that
"optimization" long before making the compiler generate decent code for
STREAM (it was horrible until version 11).
Also note that you can pretty reliably beat the compiler and library
implementations if you know what level the memory is going to be at and/or
how long until you reuse it. But this sort of optimization is probably not
what you want to spend time rolling yourself.
