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.
