not sure why it only triggers now,
this code has been around for a while.
Introduced a new error code : dstBuffer_null,
I couldn't express anything even remotely similar with existing error codes set.
changed workspace parameter convention
to always provide workspaceSize,
so that size can be explicitly checked.
Also, use more enum to make the meaning of some parameters more explicit.
isolate all logic associated with block decompression
into its own module.
zstd_decompress is still in charge
of context creation/destruction,
frames, headers, streaming, special blocks, etc.
Compressed blocks themselves are now handled within zstd_decompress_block .
fix#1385
decompressing into NULL was an automatic error.
It is now allowed, as long as the content of the frame is empty.
Seems to simplify things for `arrow`.
Maybe some other projects rely on this behavior ?
fix#1379
decodecorpus was generating one extraneous byte when `nbSeq==0`.
This is disallowed by the specification.
The reference decoder was just skipping the extraneous byte.
It is now stricter, and flag such situation as an error.
since corrupted bitstreams can generate too large values.
This slightly reduces the benefits from clang on my laptop.
gcc results and code generation are not affected.
while reviewing #1364,
I found a decompression speed improvement.
On my laptop, the new code decompresses +5-6% faster on clang
and +2-3% faster on gcc.
not bad for an accidental optimization...
note : for some reason,
scan-build version on my laptop found problems within fastcover.c
that scan-build on travisCI does not flag.
They are, as usual, false positive :
the analyzer does not understand that a table (`offset`) is correctly filled before usage.
This capability is not needed / used in the current unit of work. I'll
re-introduce it later, when we start allowing users to override the deduced
working context logs.
We pre-hash the ptr for the dict match state sometimes. When that actually
happens, a hashlog of 0 can produce undefined behavior (right shift a long
long by 64). Only applies to unoptimized compilations, since when
optimizations are applied, those hash operations are dropped when we're not
actually in dms mode.
