> The `/Oi` flag is required to reliably detect `memcpy-param-overlap` errors. This flag tells the compiler to treat `memcpy` and other functions as intrinsics, which is necessary because some versions of the standard library implement them as such. Since ASan is a dynamic analysis tool, it can only detect errors with an observable runtime effect. Please note that when `/O2` is also set, ASan may not be able to reliably detect `memcpy-param-overlap` errors because the intrinsic variant of these functions is not guaranteed to be used. See the [`/Oi` docs](../build/reference/oi-generate-intrinsic-functions.md) for more information.

The CRT function [`memcpy`](../c-runtime-library/reference/memcpy-wmemcpy.md) **doesn't support** overlapping memory. The CRT provides an alternative to `memcpy` that does support overlapping memory: [`memmove`](../c-runtime-library/reference/memmove-wmemmove.md).
