Occurs when an application calls the memcpy function with two pointers that overlap within the range to be copied. This condition is only checked on Linux* systems. On Windows* systems, this function is safe for overlapping memory.

Represents the location from which the memcpy function was called. |
Example
char *p = (char *)malloc(10); memcpy(p+3, p, 5);
Note
Linux* operating system/GNU gcc* compiler: The Intel Inspector cannot check for inlined calls to memcpy. Specify -fno-builtin to prevent inlining and allow the Intel Inspector to check for arguments.Possible Correction Strategies
If the arguments represent the range you want to copy, call the memmove function instead of the memcpy function.
