84 /* We tentatively exit the loop if adding MAGIC_BITS to
85 LONGWORD fails to change any of the hole bits of LONGWORD.
87 1) Is this safe? Will it catch all the zero bytes?
88 Suppose there is a byte with all zeros. Any carry bits
89 propagating from its left will fall into the hole at its
90 least significant bit and stop. Since there will be no
91 carry from its most significant bit, the LSB of the
92 byte to the left will be unchanged, and the zero will be
93 detected.
95 2) Is this worthwhile? Will it ignore everything except
96 zero bytes? Suppose every byte of LONGWORD has a bit set
97 somewhere. There will be a carry into bit 8. If bit 8
98 is set, this will carry into bit 16. If bit 8 is clear,
99 one of bits 9-15 must be set, so there will be a carry
100 into bit 16. Similarly, there will be a carry into bit
101 24. If one of bits 24-30 is set, there will be a carry
102 into bit 31, so all of the hole bits will be changed.
104 The one misfire occurs when bits 24-30 are clear and bit
105 31 is set; in this case, the hole at bit 31 is not
106 changed. If we had access to the processor carry flag,
107 we could close this loophole by putting the fourth hole
108 at bit 32!
110 So it ignores everything except 128's, when they're aligned
111 properly.
113 3) But wait! Aren't we looking for C as well as zero?
114 Good point. So what we do is XOR LONGWORD with a longword,
115 each of whose bytes is C. This turns each byte that is C
116 into a zero. */
