120 /* We tentatively exit the loop if adding MAGIC_BITS to
121 LONGWORD fails to change any of the hole bits of LONGWORD.
123 1) Is this safe? Will it catch all the zero bytes?
124 Suppose there is a byte with all zeros. Any carry bits
125 propagating from its left will fall into the hole at its
126 least significant bit and stop. Since there will be no
127 carry from its most significant bit, the LSB of the
128 byte to the left will be unchanged, and the zero will be
129 detected.
131 2) Is this worthwhile? Will it ignore everything except
132 zero bytes? Suppose every byte of LONGWORD has a bit set
133 somewhere. There will be a carry into bit 8. If bit 8
134 is set, this will carry into bit 16. If bit 8 is clear,
135 one of bits 9-15 must be set, so there will be a carry
136 into bit 16. Similarly, there will be a carry into bit
137 24. If one of bits 24-30 is set, there will be a carry
138 into bit 31, so all of the hole bits will be changed.
140 The one misfire occurs when bits 24-30 are clear and bit
141 31 is set; in this case, the hole at bit 31 is not
142 changed. If we had access to the processor carry flag,
143 we could close this loophole by putting the fourth hole
144 at bit 32!
146 So it ignores everything except 128's, when they're aligned
147 properly.
149 3) But wait! Aren't we looking for C, not zero?
150 Good point. So what we do is XOR LONGWORD with a longword,
151 each of whose bytes is C. This turns each byte that is C
152 into a zero. */
