110
111 1) Is this safe? Will it catch all the zero bytes?
112 Suppose there is a byte with all zeros. Any carry bits
113 propagating from its left will fall into the hole at its
114 least significant bit and stop. Since there will be no
115 carry from its most significant bit, the LSB of the
116 byte to the left will be unchanged, and the zero will be
117 detected.
118
119 2) Is this worthwhile? Will it ignore everything except
120 zero bytes? Suppose every byte of LONGWORD has a bit set
121 somewhere. There will be a carry into bit 8. If bit 8
122 is set, this will carry into bit 16. If bit 8 is clear,
123 one of bits 9-15 must be set, so there will be a carry
124 into bit 16. Similarly, there will be a carry into bit
125 24. If one of bits 24-30 is set, there will be a carry
126 into bit 31, so all of the hole bits will be changed.
127
128 The one misfire occurs when bits 24-30 are clear and bit
129 31 is set; in this case, the hole at bit 31 is not
130 changed. If we had access to the processor carry flag,
131 we could close this loophole by putting the fourth hole
132 at bit 32!
133
134 So it ignores everything except 128's, when they're aligned
135 properly.
136
137 3) But wait! Aren't we looking for C, not zero?
138 Good point. So what we do is XOR LONGWORD with a longword,
139 each of whose bytes is C. This turns each byte that is C
140 into a zero. */
