Will it catch all the zero bytes? Suppose there is a byte with all zeros. Any carry bits propagating from its left will fall into the hole at its least significant bit and stop. Since there will be no carry from its most significant bit, the LSB of the byte to the left will be unchanged, and the zero will be detected. 2) Is this worthwhile? Will it ignore everything except zero bytes? Suppose every byte of LONGWORD has a bit set somewhere. There will be a carry into bit 8. If bit 8 is set, this will carry into bit 16. If bit 8 is clear, one of bits 9-15 must be set, so there will be a carry into bit 16. Similarly, there will be a carry into bit 24. If one of bits 24-30 is set, there will be a carry into bit 31, so all of the hole bits will be changed. The one misfire occurs when bits 24-30 are clear and bit 31 is set; in this case, the hole at bit 31 is not changed. If we had access to the processor carry flag, we could close this loophole by putting the fourth hole at bit 32! So it ignores everything except 128's, when they're aligned properly. 3) But wait! Aren't we looking for C, not zero? Good point. So what we do is XOR LONGWORD with a longword, each of whose bytes is C.
