NOTE: This commit only tested on Linux (Ubuntu 18.04). Windows
build may not work as expected.
* Use meson >= 0.47.0 cause we use install_man function
* Add three helper Python script:
* CopyFile.py: To copy file
* CreateSymlink.py: To make symlink (both Windows and Unix)
* GetZstdLibraryVersion.py: Parse lib/zstd.h to get zstd version
These help emulating equivalent functions in CMake and Makefile.
* Use subdir from meson to split meson.build
* Add contrib build
* Fix other build
* Add new build options
* build_programs: Enable programs build
* build_contrib: Enable contrib build
* build_tests: Enable tests build
* use_static_runtime: Link to static run-time libraries on MSVC
* zlib_support: Enable zlib support
* lzma_support: Enable lzma support
by triggering the prefetching decoder path
(which used to be dedicated to long-range offsets only).
Figures on my laptop :
no content prefetch : ~300 MB/s (for reference)
full content prefetch : ~325 MB/s (before this patch)
new prefetch path : ~375 MB/s (after this patch)
The benchmark speed is already significant,
but another side-effect is that this version
prefetch less data into memory,
since it only prefetches what's needed, instead of the full dictionary.
This is supposed to help highly active environments
such as active databases,
that can't be properly measured in benchmark environment (too clean).
Also :
fixed the largeNbDict test program
which was working improperly when setting nbBlocks > nbFiles.
will automatically truncate or repeat input as needed,
to create the requested nb of blocks.
default: nb of files, eventually increased appropriately if blockSize is set
measures :
- compression ratio with / without dictionary
- create one dictionary per block
- memory budget for dictionaries
- decompression speed, using one different dictionary per block
current limitations :
- only one file
- 4K blocks only
- automatic dictionary built with 4K size
dictionary can be selected on command line, with -D
