- promoted LZ4_resetStream_fast() to stable
- moved LZ4_resetStream() into deprecate, but without triggering a compiler warning
- update all sources to no longer rely on LZ4_resetStream()
note : LZ4_initStream() proposal is slightly different :
it's able to initialize any buffer, provided that it's large enough.
To this end, it accepts a void*, and returns an LZ4_stream_t*.
- promoted LZ4_resetStreamHC_fast() to stable
- moved LZ4_resetStreamHC() to deprecated (but do not generate a warning yet)
- Updated doc, to highlight difference between init and reset
- switched all invocations of LZ4_resetStreamHC() onto LZ4_initStreamHC()
- misc: ensure `make all` also builds /tests
which remained undetected so far,
as it requires a fairly large number of conditions to be triggered,
starting with enabling Block checksum, which is disabled by default,
and which usage is known to be extremely rare.
When using clang++ with std c++14 or c++17 you would get the error "an attribute list cannot appear here" when including "lz4.h" as the visibility attribute is before the c++ attribute.
This ensures that the [[deprecated]] c++ attribute is before everything
else in the function declarations.
lz4opt is only competitive vs lz4hc level 10.
Below that level, it doesn't match the speed / compression effectiveness of regular hc parser.
This patch propose to extend lz4opt to levels 10-12.
The new level 10 tend to compress a bit better and a bit faster than previous one (mileage vary depending on file)
The only downside is that `limitedDestSize` mode is now limited to max level 9 (vs 10),
since it's only compatible with regular HC parser.
(Note : I suspect it's possible to convert lz4opt to support it too, but haven't spent time into it).
Commit 25b2435885 exported deprecated
symbols declared in lz4.h by marking all LZ4_DEPRECATED functions with
LZ4LIB_API attribute. This change does the same with functions declared
in lz4hc.h file, thus extending the export to lz4hc.h.
As result, the following 17 deprecated functions are exported again:
LZ4_compressHC
LZ4_compressHC2
LZ4_compressHC2_continue
LZ4_compressHC2_limitedOutput
LZ4_compressHC2_limitedOutput_continue
LZ4_compressHC2_limitedOutput_withStateHC
LZ4_compressHC2_withStateHC
LZ4_compressHC_continue
LZ4_compressHC_limitedOutput
LZ4_compressHC_limitedOutput_continue
LZ4_compressHC_limitedOutput_withStateHC
LZ4_compressHC_withStateHC
LZ4_createHC
LZ4_freeHC
LZ4_resetStreamStateHC
LZ4_sizeofStreamStateHC
LZ4_slideInputBufferHC
