25 @ r0 = start of string
26 ldrb r2, [r0] @ load the first byte asap
28 @ To cater to long strings, we want to search through a few
29 @ characters until we reach an aligned pointer. To cater to
30 @ small strings, we don't want to start doing word operations
31 @ immediately. The compromise is a maximum of 16 bytes less
32 @ whatever is required to end with an aligned pointer.
33 @ r3 = number of characters to search in alignment loop
35 mov r1, r0 @ Save the input pointer
36 rsb r3, r3, #15 @ 16 - 1 peeled loop iteration
40 @ Loop until we find ...
42 subs r3, r3, #1 @ ... the aligment point
44 cmpne r2, #0 @ ... or EOS
47 @ Disambiguate the exit possibilites above
48 cmp r2, #0 @ Found EOS
52 @ So now we're aligned.
63 @ Loop searching for EOS, 8 bytes at a time.
64 @ Subtracting (unsigned saturating) from 1 for any byte means that
65 @ we get 1 for any byte that was originally zero and 0 otherwise.
66 @ Therefore we consider the lsb of each byte the "found" bit.
68 2: uqsub8 r2, ip, r2 @ Find EOS
70 pld [r0, #128] @ Prefetch 2 lines ahead
71 orrs r3, r3, r2 @ Combine the two words
73 ldrdeq r2, r3, [r0], #8
76 @ Found something. Disambiguate between first and second words.
77 @ Adjust r0 to point to the word containing the match.
78 @ Adjust r2 to the found bits for the word containing the match.
85 @ Find the bit-offset of the match within the word. Note that the
86 @ bit result from clz will be 7 higher than "true", but we'll
87 @ immediately discard those bits converting to a byte offset.
89 rev r2, r2 @ For LE, count from the little end
92 add r0, r0, r2, lsr #3 @ Adjust the pointer to the found byte
94 sub r0, r0, r1 @ Subtract input to compute length
