experimental function ZSTD_compressBlock() is designed for very small data in mind,
for situation where saving the ~12 bytes of frame header can actually make a difference.
Some systems though may have to deal with small and large data entangled.
If it's larger than a block (> 128KB), compressBlock() cannot compress them in one round.
That's why it's possible to compress in multiple rounds.
This is a chain of compressed blocks.
Some users push this capability to the limit, encoding gigantic chain of blocks.
On crossing the 4GB limit, some internal overflow occurs.
This fix moves the overflow correction mechanism higher in the call chain,
so that it's applied also to gigantic chains of blocks.
Added a test case in fuzzer.c, which crashes before the fix, and pass now.
* Updates CircleCI to use workflows.
We can now specify any number of test jobs to run in parallel.
* Switch the image to `buildpack-deps:trusty` which is only 500 MB
instead of 7 GB, so that saves 7 minutes to download it if it isn't
already cached on the host.
* Publish the source tarball and sha256sum as artifacts.
* If the `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable is set, we will also
add the tarball + sha256sum to the tagged release, after manual
approval.
Sometimes, it's necessary to test that a certain command fail, as expected.
Such failure is actually a success, and must not stop the flow of tests.
Several tests were prefixed with `!` to invert return code.
This does not work : it effectively makes the tests pass no matter what.
Use instead function die(), which is meant to trap successes, and transform them into errors.
which can be probed using new function ZSTD_minCLevel().
Also : redefined ZSTD_TARGETLENGTH_MIN/MAX for consistency
used the opportunity to bump version number to v1.3.6
tests/playTests.sh uses 'head -c' in a couple of tests to truncate the
last byte of a file. The '-c' option is non-portable (not in POSIX).
Instead use a wrapper around dd (truncateLastByte).
they were pretty easy to trigger by the way,
just start an extended paramgrill session
to find a compression table based on any sample,
it would necessarily happen at some point.
assert() in paramgrill are not in the benchmark path.
They should remain active, as they don't impact measurements, and their runtime is insignificant.

Per warnings from flawfinder: "Does not check for buffer overflows when
copying to destination [MS-banned] (CWE-120). Consider using snprintf,
strcpy_s, or strlcpy (warning: strncpy easily misused).".
Replaced called to strcpy and strcat in `fileio.c` to calls with a
specified size (`strncpy` and `strncat`).
Tested the changes on OSX, Linux, Windows.
On OSX + Linux, changes were tested with ASAN. The following flags were
used: 'check_initialization_order=1:strict_init_order=1:detect_odr_violation=1:detect_stack_use_after_return=1'
To reproduce warning:
./flawfinder.py ./programs/fileio.c
Add different constraint types (decompression speed, compression memory, parameter constraints)
Separate search space by strategy + strategy selection
Memoize results
Real random restarts
Support multiple files
Support Dictionary inputs
