Includes:
- Multi-sequence move-to-front
- Coding by id descriptor
- Statistical coding of non-id words
- Joint coding of opcode and num_operands
Removed explicit form Huffman codec constructor
- The standard use case for it is to be constructed from initializer list.
Using serialization for Huffman codecs
Visual Studio was complaining about possible loss of data on 64-bit
builds, due to an implicit cast from size_t to int. This changes the
data to use an int with no cast.
If this is used as a static library in another project, this does not
need to be installed, and otherwise will just clutter the application's install.
To use, define SKIP_SPIRV_TOOLS_INSTALL which internally defines
ENABLE_SPIRV_TOOLS_INSTALL to control installation.
Also include GNUInstallDirs to get standard output 'lib' directory which is sometimes 'lib64' and not 'lib'
Command line application is located at tools/spirv-markv
API at include/spirv-tools/markv.h
At the moment only very basic compression is implemented, mostly varint.
Scope of supported SPIR-V opcodes is also limited.
Using a simple move-to-front implementation instead of encoding mapped
ids.
Work in progress:
- Does not cover all of SPIR-V
- Does not promise compatibility of compression/decompression across
different versions of the code.
