20 /* Finds length of a 0-terminated string. Optimized for the Alpha
23 - memory accessed as aligned quadwords only
24 - uses cmpbge to compare 8 bytes in parallel
25 - does binary search to find 0 byte in last quadword (HAKMEM
26 needed 12 instructions to do this instead of the 8 instructions
27 that the binary search needs).
45 ldq_u t0, 0(a0) # load first quadword (a0 may be misaligned)
50 nop # dual issue the next two on ev5
51 cmpbge zero, t0, t1 # t1 <- bitmask: bit i == 1 <==> i-th byte == 0
55 addq v0, 8, v0 # addr += 8
59 $found: negq t1, t2 # clear all but least set bit
62 and t1, 0xf0, t2 # binary search for that set bit
