  61   /* Instead of the traditional loop which tests each byte, we will
  62      test a longword at a time.  The tricky part is testing if any of
  63      the bytes in the longword in question are equal to
  64      c.  We first use an xor with repeated_c.  This reduces the task
  65      to testing whether any of the bytes in longword1 is zero.
  66 
  67      (The following comments assume 8-bit bytes, as POSIX requires;
  68      the code's use of UCHAR_MAX should work even if bytes have more
  69      than 8 bits.)
  70 
  71      We compute tmp =
  72        ((longword1 - repeated_one) & ~longword1) & (repeated_one * 0x80).
  73      That is, we perform the following operations:
  74        1. Subtract repeated_one.
  75        2. & ~longword1.
  76        3. & a mask consisting of 0x80 in every byte.
  77      Consider what happens in each byte:
  78        - If a byte of longword1 is zero, step 1 and 2 transform it into 0xff,
  79          and step 3 transforms it into 0x80.  A carry can also be propagated
  80          to more significant bytes.
  81        - If a byte of longword1 is nonzero, let its lowest 1 bit be at
  82          position k (0 <= k <= 7); so the lowest k bits are 0.  After step 1,
  83          the byte ends in a single bit of value 0 and k bits of value 1.
  84          After step 2, the result is just k bits of value 1: 2^k - 1.  After
  85          step 3, the result is 0.  And no carry is produced.
  86      So, if longword1 has only non-zero bytes, tmp is zero.
  87      Whereas if longword1 has a zero byte, call j the position of the least
  88      significant zero byte.  Then the result has a zero at positions 0, ...,
  89      j-1 and a 0x80 at position j.  We cannot predict the result at the more
  90      significant bytes (positions j+1..3), but it does not matter since we
  91      already have a non-zero bit at position 8*j+7.
  92 
  93      The test whether any byte in longword1 is zero is equivalent
  94      to testing whether tmp is nonzero.
  95 
  96      This test can read beyond the end of a string, depending on where
  97      C_IN is encountered.  However, this is considered safe since the
  98      initialization phase ensured that the read will be aligned,
  99      therefore, the read will not cross page boundaries and will not
 100      cause a fault.  */

 116      accesses, just by looking at the tmp result from the last loop
