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