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