 I doubt about the constant string optimizations. I experiments on 
simple case  shows  even  though
both strings are constant, SSE4.2 version still performs better (It 
should not be the case). As a result,
constant string optimizations for indexof may not be performed as expected.

Would you please point out where is this constant optimization? Thanks,

Changpeng.
