Contributed by Ulrich Drepper <drepper@gnu.ai.mit.edu> Optimised a little by Alan Modra <Alan@SPRI.Levels.UniSA.Edu.Au> This version is developed using the same algorithm as the fast C version which carries the following introduction: Based on strlen implementation by Torbjorn Granlund (tege@sics.se), with help from Dan Sahlin (dan@sics.se) and commentary by Jim Blandy (jimb@ai.mit.edu); adaptation to memchr suggested by Dick Karpinski (dick@cca.ucsf.edu), and implemented by Roland McGrath (roland@ai.mit.edu).

Will it catch all the zero bytes? Suppose there is a byte with all zeros. Any carry bits propagating from its left will fall into the hole at its least significant bit and stop. Since there will be no carry from its most significant bit, the LSB of the byte to the left will be unchanged, and the zero will be detected. 2) Is this worthwhile? Will it ignore everything except zero bytes? Suppose every byte of LONGWORD has a bit set somewhere. There will be a carry into bit 8. If bit 8 is set, this will carry into bit 16. If bit 8 is clear, one of bits 9-15 must be set, so there will be a carry into bit 16. Similarly, there will be a carry into bit 24. If one of bits 24-31 is set, there will be a carry into bit 32 (=carry flag), so all of the hole bits will be changed. 3) But wait! Aren't we looking for C, not zero? Good point. So what we do is XOR LONGWORD with a longword, each of whose bytes is C.
