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