since Visual 2017,
worries about potential overflow, which are actually impossible.
Replaced (c * a) by (c ? a : 0).
Will likely replaced a * by a cmov.
Probably harmless for performance.
This is the reverse of `-BD`, and the current default.
This command can be useful to reverse a previous `-BD` command.
It may in the future be more important
if `lz4` switches to generating dependent blocks by default.
make it possible to generate LZ4-compressed block
with a controlled maximum offset (necessarily <= 65535).
This could be useful for compatibility with decoders
using a very limited memory budget (<64 KB).
Answer #154
it fails on x86 32-bit mode :
Visual reports an alignment of 8-bytes (even with alignof())
but actually only align LZ4_stream_t on 4 bytes.
The alignment check then fails, resulting in missed initialization.
- 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.
For small offsets of size 1, 2, 4 and 8, we can set a single uint64_t,
and then use it to do a memset() variation. In particular, this makes
the somewhat-common RLE (offset 1) about 2-4x faster than the previous
implementation - we avoid not only the load blocked by store, but also
avoid the loads entirely.
