/* Instead of the traditional loop which tests each byte, we will
79
test a longword at a time. The tricky part is testing if *any of
80
the four* bytes in the longword in question are equal to NUL or
81
c. We first use an xor with repeated_c. This reduces the task
82
to testing whether *any of the four* bytes in longword1 or
85
Let's consider longword1. We compute tmp =
86
((longword1 - repeated_one) & ~longword1) & (repeated_one << 7).
87
That is, we perform the following operations:
88
1. Subtract repeated_one.
90
3. & a mask consisting of 0x80 in every byte.
91
Consider what happens in each byte:
92
- If a byte of longword1 is zero, step 1 and 2 transform it into 0xff,
93
and step 3 transforms it into 0x80. A carry can also be propagated
94
to more significant bytes.
95
- If a byte of longword1 is nonzero, let its lowest 1 bit be at
96
position k (0 <= k <= 7); so the lowest k bits are 0. After step 1,
97
the byte ends in a single bit of value 0 and k bits of value 1.
98
After step 2, the result is just k bits of value 1: 2^k - 1. After
99
step 3, the result is 0. And no carry is produced.
100
So, if longword1 has only non-zero bytes, tmp is zero.
101
Whereas if longword1 has a zero byte, call j the position of the least
102
significant zero byte. Then the result has a zero at positions 0, ...,
103
j-1 and a 0x80 at position j. We cannot predict the result at the more
104
significant bytes (positions j+1..3), but it does not matter since we
105
already have a non-zero bit at position 8*j+7.
107
The test whether any byte in longword1 or longword2 is zero is equivalent
108
to testing whether tmp1 is nonzero or tmp2 is nonzero. We can combine
109
this into a single test, whether (tmp1 | tmp2) is nonzero.
111
This test can read more than one byte beyond the end of a string,
112
depending on where the terminating NUL is encountered. However,
113
this is considered safe since the initialization phase ensured
114
that the read will be aligned, therefore, the read will not cross
115
page boundaries and will not cause a fault. */
