This works because the least significant 26 0 byte must have had no incoming carry (otherwise it's not the least 27 significant), so it is 0x00 - 0x01 == 0xff. For all other 28 byte values, either they have the high bit set initially, or when 29 1 is subtracted you get a value in the range 0x00-0x7f, none of which 30 have their high bit set. The expression here is 31 (x + 0xfefefeff) & ~(x | 0x7f7f7f7f), which gives 0x00000000 when 32 there were no 0x00 bytes in the word. You get 0x80 in bytes that 33 match, but possibly false 0x80 matches in the next more significant 34 byte to a true match due to carries. For little-endian this is 35 of no consequence since the least significant match is the one 36 we're interested in, but big-endian needs method 2 to find which 37 byte matches. 38 39 2) Given a word 'x', we can test to see _which_ byte was zero by 40 calculating ~(((x & 0x7f7f7f7f) + 0x7f7f7f7f) | x | 0x7f7f7f7f). 41 This produces 0x80 in each byte that was zero, and 0x00 in all 42 the other bytes. The '| 0x7f7f7f7f' clears the low 7 bits in each 43 byte, and the '| x' part ensures that bytes with the high bit set 44 produce 0x00. The addition will carry into the high bit of each byte 45 iff that byte had one of its low 7 bits set. We can then just see 46 which was the most significant bit set and divide by 8 to find how 47 many to add to the index. 48 This is from the book 'The PowerPC Compiler Writer's Guide', 49 by Steve Hoxey, Faraydon Karim, Bill Hay and Hank Warren. 50 51 We deal with strings not aligned to a word boundary by taking the 52 first word and ensuring that bytes not part of the string 53 are treated as nonzero. To allow for memory latency, we unroll the 54 loop a few times, being careful to ensure that we do not read ahead 55 across cache line boundaries. 56 57 Questions to answer: 58 1) How long are strings passed to strlen? If they're often really long, 59 we should probably use cache management instructions and/or unroll the 60 loop more. If they're often quite short, it might be better to use 61 fact (2) in the inner loop than have to recalculate it. 62 2) How popular are bytes with the high bit set? If they are very rare, 63 on some processors it might be useful to use the simpler expression 64 ~((x - 0x01010101) | 0x7f7f7f7f) (that is, on processors with only one 65 ALU), but this fails when any character has its high bit set. */ 66 67/* Some notes on register usage: Under the SVR4 ABI, we can use registers 68 0 and 3 through 12 (so long as we don't call any procedures) without 69 saving them. We can also use registers 14 through 31 if we save them. 70 We can't use r1 (it's the stack pointer), r2 nor r13 because the user 71 program may expect them to hold their usual value if we get sent 72 a signal. Integer parameters are passed in r3 through r10. 73 We can use condition registers cr0, cr1, cr5, cr6, and cr7 without saving 74 them, the others we must save. */ 75 76/* int [r3] strlen (char *s [r3]) */ 77 78ENTRY (strlen) 79 80#define rTMP4 r0 81#define rRTN r3 /* incoming STR arg, outgoing result */ 82#define rSTR r4 /* current string position */ 83#define rPADN r5 /* number of padding bits we prepend to the 84 string to make it start at a word boundary */ 85#define rFEFE r6 /* constant 0xfefefeff (-0x01010101) */ 86#define r7F7F r7 /* constant 0x7f7f7f7f */ 87#define rWORD1 r8 /* current string word */ 88#define rWORD2 r9 /* next string word */ 89#define rMASK r9 /* mask for first string word */ 90#define rTMP1 r10 91#define rTMP2 r11 92#define rTMP3 r12 93 94 95 clrrwi rSTR, rRTN, 2 96 lis r7F7F, 0x7f7f 97 rlwinm rPADN, rRTN, 3, 27, 28 98 lwz rWORD1, 0(rSTR) 99 li rMASK, -1 100 addi r7F7F, r7F7F, 0x7f7f 101/* We use method (2) on the first two words, because rFEFE isn't 102 required which reduces setup overhead.
