FROMLIST: lib/string.c: Optimize memchr()
The original version of memchr() is implemented with the byte-wise comparing technique, which does not fully use 64-bits or 32-bits registers in CPU. We use word-wide comparing so that 8 characters can be compared at the same time on CPU. This code is base on David Laight's implementation. We create two files to measure the performance. The first file contains on average 10 characters ahead the target character. The second file contains at least 1000 characters ahead the target character. Our implementation of “memchr()” is slightly better in the first test and nearly 4x faster than the orginal implementation in the second test.
