1) Is this safe? Will it catch all the zero bytes?
94
Suppose there is a byte with all zeros. Any carry bits
95
propagating from its left will fall into the hole at its
96
least significant bit and stop. Since there will be no
97
carry from its most significant bit, the LSB of the
98
byte to the left will be unchanged, and the zero will be
101
2) Is this worthwhile? Will it ignore everything except
102
zero bytes? Suppose every byte of LONGWORD has a bit set
103
somewhere. There will be a carry into bit 8. If bit 8
104
is set, this will carry into bit 16. If bit 8 is clear,
105
one of bits 9-15 must be set, so there will be a carry
106
into bit 16. Similarly, there will be a carry into bit
107
24. If one of bits 24-30 is set, there will be a carry
108
into bit 31, so all of the hole bits will be changed.
110
The one misfire occurs when bits 24-30 are clear and bit
111
31 is set; in this case, the hole at bit 31 is not
112
changed. If we had access to the processor carry flag,
113
we could close this loophole by putting the fourth hole
116
So it ignores everything except 128's, when they're aligned
119
3) But wait! Aren't we looking for C as well as zero?
120
Good point. So what we do is XOR LONGWORD with a longword,
121
each of whose bytes is C. This turns each byte that is C
