+ * Portable strlen() for 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
+ *
+ * Rationale: it is generally much more efficient to do word length
+ * operations and avoid branches on modern computer systems, as
+ * compared to byte-length operations with a lot of branches.
+ *
+ * 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.
+ *
+ * On multi-issue processors, we can divide the above expression into:
+ * a) (x - 0x01....01)
+ * b) (~x & 0x80....80)
+ * c) a & b
+ *
+ * Where, a) and b) can be partially computed in parallel.
+ *
+ * The algorithm above is found on "Hacker's Delight" by
+ * Henry S. Warren, Jr.
