#include <emmintrin.h>Get length of string prefix consisting of letters and underscore
This can be useful for e.g. parsing identifiers.
The string does not need to be aligned, but beware that up to 15 bytes after the NUL terminator may be loaded from memory, so if these cross a page boundary you can get spurious page faults.
