18 * 1) Given a word 'x', we can test to see if it contains any 0 bytes
19 * by subtracting 0x01010101, and seeing if any of the high bits of each
20 * byte changed from 0 to 1. This works because the least significant
21 * 0 byte must have had no incoming carry (otherwise it's not the least
22 * significant), so it is 0x00 - 0x01 == 0xff. For all other
23 * byte values, either they have the high bit set initially, or when
24 * 1 is subtracted you get a value in the range 0x00-0x7f, none of which
25 * have their high bit set. The expression here is
26 * (x - 0x01010101) & ~x & 0x80808080), which gives 0x00000000 when
27 * there were no 0x00 bytes in the word. You get 0x80 in bytes that
28 * match, but possibly false 0x80 matches in the next more significant
29 * byte to a true match due to carries. For little-endian this is
30 * of no consequence since the least significant match is the one
31 * we're interested in, but big-endian needs method 2 to find which
33 * 2) Given a word 'x', we can test to see _which_ byte was zero by
34 * calculating ~(((x & ~0x80808080) - 0x80808080 - 1) | x | ~0x80808080).
35 * This produces 0x80 in each byte that was zero, and 0x00 in all
36 * the other bytes. The '| ~0x80808080' clears the low 7 bits in each
37 * byte, and the '| x' part ensures that bytes with the high bit set
38 * produce 0x00. The addition will carry into the high bit of each byte
39 * iff that byte had one of its low 7 bits set. We can then just see
40 * which was the most significant bit set and divide by 8 to find how
41 * many to add to the index.
