  Provides copy memory, fill memory, zero memory, and GUID functions.
   
  The Base Memory Library provides optimized implementations for common memory-based operations. 
  These functions should be used in place of coding your own loops to do equivalent common functions. 
  This allows optimized library implementations to help increase performance.
