33  * Portable strlen() for 32-bit and 64-bit systems.

35  * The expression:
36  *
37  *	((x - 0x01....01) & ~x & 0x80....80)
38  *
39  * would evaluate to a non-zero value iff any of the bytes in the
40  * original word is zero.

45  * Note: this leaves performance on the table and each architecture
46  * would be best served with a tailor made routine instead, even if
47  * using the same trick.
