Sorry I meant 3c instead of 3f (And usually we don't use capital letters for that).
The last two bits are supposed to always be 0, so it doesn't really matter, I just thought it would
look better having the same value both sides of the test, ie (addr & 0x3c) == 0x3c.

-1 or -4 should give the same results as instructions are always 32 bits aligned though.
