I'd suggest to use asm("") in the loop body. It worked in the past
to prevent folding division loop back into division instruction.

Or switch to 

	size_t f(const char *s)
	{
		const char *s0 = s;
		while (*s++)
			;
		return s - s0 - 1;
	}

which compiles to 1 branch, not 2.

But of course they could recognise this pattern too.
