98 /* Instead of the traditional loop which tests each byte, we will test a
99 longword at a time. The tricky part is testing if *any of the four*
100 bytes in the longword in question are equal to c. We first use an xor
101 with repeated_c. This reduces the task to testing whether *any of the
102 four* bytes in longword1 is zero.
103
104 We compute tmp =
105 ((longword1 - repeated_one) & ~longword1) & (repeated_one << 7).
106 That is, we perform the following operations:
107 1. Subtract repeated_one.
108 2. & ~longword1.
109 3. & a mask consisting of 0x80 in every byte.
110 Consider what happens in each byte:
111 - If a byte of longword1 is zero, step 1 and 2 transform it into 0xff,
112 and step 3 transforms it into 0x80. A carry can also be propagated
113 to more significant bytes.
114 - If a byte of longword1 is nonzero, let its lowest 1 bit be at
115 position k (0 <= k <= 7); so the lowest k bits are 0. After step 1,
116 the byte ends in a single bit of value 0 and k bits of value 1.
117 After step 2, the result is just k bits of value 1: 2^k - 1. After
118 step 3, the result is 0. And no carry is produced.
119 So, if longword1 has only non-zero bytes, tmp is zero.
120 Whereas if longword1 has a zero byte, call j the position of the least
121 significant zero byte. Then the result has a zero at positions 0, ...,
122 j-1 and a 0x80 at position j. We cannot predict the result at the more
123 significant bytes (positions j+1..3), but it does not matter since we
124 already have a non-zero bit at position 8*j+7.
125
126 So, the test whether any byte in longword1 is zero is equivalent to
127 testing whether tmp is nonzero. */
