+     test a longword at a time.  The tricky part is testing if any of
+     the bytes in the longword in question are equal to
+     c.  We first use an xor with repeated_c.  This reduces the task
+     to testing whether any of the bytes in longword1 is zero.
+
+     (The following comments assume 8-bit bytes, as POSIX requires;
+     the code's use of UCHAR_MAX should work even if bytes have more
+     than 8 bits.)
+
+     We compute tmp =
+       ((longword1 - repeated_one) & ~longword1) & (repeated_one * 0x80).
+     That is, we perform the following operations:
+       1. Subtract repeated_one.
+       2. & ~longword1.
+       3. & a mask consisting of 0x80 in every byte.
+     Consider what happens in each byte:
+       - If a byte of longword1 is zero, step 1 and 2 transform it into 0xff,
+         and step 3 transforms it into 0x80.  A carry can also be propagated
+         to more significant bytes.
+       - If a byte of longword1 is nonzero, let its lowest 1 bit be at
+         position k (0 <= k <= 7); so the lowest k bits are 0.  After step 1,
+         the byte ends in a single bit of value 0 and k bits of value 1.
+         After step 2, the result is just k bits of value 1: 2^k - 1.  After
+         step 3, the result is 0.  And no carry is produced.
+     So, if longword1 has only non-zero bytes, tmp is zero.
+     Whereas if longword1 has a zero byte, call j the position of the least
+     significant zero byte.  Then the result has a zero at positions 0, ...,
+     j-1 and a 0x80 at position j.  We cannot predict the result at the more
+     significant bytes (positions j+1..3), but it does not matter since we
+     already have a non-zero bit at position 8*j+7.
+
+     The test whether any byte in longword1 is zero is equivalent
+     to testing whether tmp is nonzero.
+
+     This test can read beyond the end of a string, depending on where
+     C_IN is encountered.  However, this is considered safe since the
+     initialization phase ensured that the read will be aligned,
+     therefore, the read will not cross page boundaries and will not
+     cause a fault.  */
