124 1) Is this safe? Will it catch all the zero bytes?
125 Suppose there is a byte with all zeros. Any carry bits
126 propagating from its left will fall into the hole at its
127 least significant bit and stop. Since there will be no
128 carry from its most significant bit, the LSB of the
129 byte to the left will be unchanged, and the zero will be
132 2) Is this worthwhile? Will it ignore everything except
133 zero bytes? Suppose every byte of LONGWORD has a bit set
134 somewhere. There will be a carry into bit 8. If bit 8
135 is set, this will carry into bit 16. If bit 8 is clear,
136 one of bits 9-15 must be set, so there will be a carry
137 into bit 16. Similarly, there will be a carry into bit
138 24. If one of bits 24-30 is set, there will be a carry
139 into bit 31, so all of the hole bits will be changed.
141 The one misfire occurs when bits 24-30 are clear and bit
142 31 is set; in this case, the hole at bit 31 is not
143 changed. If we had access to the processor carry flag,
144 we could close this loophole by putting the fourth hole
147 So it ignores everything except 128's, when they're aligned
150 3) But wait! Aren't we looking for C, not zero?
151 Good point. So what we do is XOR LONGWORD with a longword,
152 each of whose bytes is C. This turns each byte that is C
