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