 111   /* Instead of the traditional loop which tests each byte, we will test a
 112      longword at a time.  The tricky part is testing if *any of the four*
 113      bytes in the longword in question are equal to c.  We first use an xor
 114      with repeated_c.  This reduces the task to testing whether *any of the
 115      four* bytes in longword1 is zero.
 116
 117      We compute tmp =
 118        ((longword1 - repeated_one) & ~longword1) & (repeated_one << 7).
 119      That is, we perform the following operations:
 120        1. Subtract repeated_one.
 121        2. & ~longword1.
 122        3. & a mask consisting of 0x80 in every byte.
 123      Consider what happens in each byte:
 124        - If a byte of longword1 is zero, step 1 and 2 transform it into 0xff,
 125          and step 3 transforms it into 0x80.  A carry can also be propagated
 126          to more significant bytes.
 127        - If a byte of longword1 is nonzero, let its lowest 1 bit be at
 128          position k (0 <= k <= 7); so the lowest k bits are 0.  After step 1,
 129          the byte ends in a single bit of value 0 and k bits of value 1.
 130          After step 2, the result is just k bits of value 1: 2^k - 1.  After
 131          step 3, the result is 0.  And no carry is produced.
 132      So, if longword1 has only non-zero bytes, tmp is zero.
 133      Whereas if longword1 has a zero byte, call j the position of the least
 134      significant zero byte.  Then the result has a zero at positions 0, ...,
 135      j-1 and a 0x80 at position j.  We cannot predict the result at the more
 136      significant bytes (positions j+1..3), but it does not matter since we
 137      already have a non-zero bit at position 8*j+7.
 138
 139      So, the test whether any byte in longword1 is zero is equivalent to
 140      testing whether tmp is nonzero.  */
