This allows calculation of the first (and * last) occurrence of a zero byte within the word (useful for C's * str* primitives) by counting the number of leading (or * trailing) zeros and dividing the result by 8. On machines * without (or with slow) clz() / ctz() instructions, testing * each byte in the result word for zero is necessary. * * This typically takes 4 instructions (5 on machines without * "not-or") not including those needed to load the constant. * * * The expression: * * (2) ((x - 0x01....01) & 0x80....80 & ~x) * * evaluates to a non-zero value if any of the bytes in the * original word is zero. * * On little endian machines, the first byte in the result word * that corresponds to a zero byte in the original byte is 0x80, * so clz() can be used as above. On big endian machines, and * little endian machines without (or with a slow) clz() insn, * testing each byte in the original for zero is necessary. * * This typically takes 3 instructions (4 on machines without * "and with complement") not including those needed to load * constants. * * * The expression: * * (3) ((x - 0x01....01) & 0x80....80) * * always evaluates to a non-zero value if any of the bytes in * the original word is zero or has the top bit set. * For strings that are likely to only contain 7-bit ascii these * false positives will be rare. * * To account for possible false positives, each byte of the * original word must be checked when the expression evaluates to * a non-zero value. However, because it is simpler than those * presented above, code that uses it will be faster as long as * the rate of false positives is low. * * This is likely, because the the false positive can only occur * if the most siginificant bit of a byte within the word is set. * The expression will never fail for typical 7-bit ASCII strings. * * This typically takes 2 instructions not including those needed * to load constants. * * * [1] Henry S.
