/*
 * Portable strlen() for 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
 *
 * The expression:
 *
 *      ((x - 0x01....01) & ~x & 0x80....80)
 *
 * would evaluate to a non-zero value iff any of the bytes in the
 * original word is zero.
 *
 * The algorithm above is found on "Hacker's Delight" by
 * Henry S. Warren, Jr.
 *
 * Note: this leaves performance on the table and each architecture
 * would be best served with a tailor made routine instead, even if
 * using the same trick.
