this version has same speed as branch `opt`
which is itself 5-10% slower than branch `dev`
(no identified reason)
It does not compress exactly the same as `opt` or `dev`,
maybe because it doesn't stop search after repcodes,
leading to sometimes better compression, sometimes worse
(by a small margin).
warning : _extDict path does not work for the time being
This means that benchmark module works,
but file module will fail with large files (and high compression level).
Objective is to fuse _extDict path into current one,
in order to have a single parser to maintain.
ZSTD_getPrice() and ZSTD_updatePrice() accept normal matchlength as argument
instead of matchlength-MINMATCH,
which makes them easier / more logical to use and read.
Conversion is simply done internally.
added some traces and assert
related to hunting a potential ubsan error in 32-bits more
(it ends up being a compiler-side issue : https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82802).
Modified one pointer arithmetic expression for a more conformant way.
as per documentation, on ZSTD_setPledgedSrcSize() :
> If all data is provided and consumed in a single round,
> this value (pledgedSrcSize) is overriden by srcSize instead.
This wasn't applied before compression level is transformed into compression parameters.
As a consequence, small input missed compression parameters adaptation.
It seems to work fine now : compression was compared with ZSTD_compress_advanced(),
results were the same.
ZSTD_compress() and friends would treat an empty input as an unknown size
when selecting parameters. Thus, they would drastically overallocate the
context. Tell ZSTD_getParams() that the source size is 1 when it is empty.
It was multiple reasons stacked :
- Visual use a different code path, because ZSTD_NEWAPI is not defined
- fileio.c sends `0` as `pledgedSrcSize` to mean `ZSTD_CONTENTSIZE_UNKNOWN` (fixed)
- ZSTDMT_resetCCtx() interpreted `0` as "empty" instead of "unknown" (fixed)
It isn't useful in any case to repeat default tables.
Saves a few bytes on Silesia, since we don't trigger the dictionary
heuristic.
Before: 211988480 => 73651998 bytes
After: 211988480 => 73651721 bytes
when determining compression parameters
to compress one file only.
For multiple files, it still "bets" that files are going to be small.
There was also a bug recently added in ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary_advanced()
making it incapable to use pledgedSrcSize to determine compression parameters.
In `ZSTD_compressBegin_advanced()`, `ZSTD_parameters` are used to set the
compression parameters, but the level didn't get set to `CLEVEL_CUSTOM`, so
`ZSTD_compressBlock()` used the wrong parameters when checking the source
size.
ZSTD_compressBound() works fine, but is only useful for dynamic allocation.
For static allocation, only a macro can provide the amount during compilation time.
It's not good to mix old and new API
ZSTD_resetCStream() doesn't just set pledgedSrcSize :
it also sets the CCtx for a single thread compression.
Problem is, when 2+ threads are defined in cctx->requestedParams,
ZSTD_compress_generic() will want to start MT compression,
since initialization is supposed to have already happened (thanks to ZSTD_resetCStream())
except that the underlying ZSTDMT_CCtx* object is not created,
resulting in a segfault.
This is an invalid construction
(correct one is to use ZSTD_CCtx_setPledgedSrcSize()).
I haven't found a nice way to mitigate this impact if someone makes the same mistake.
At some point, removing the old API to keep only the new API within fileio.c will limit these risks.
srcSize is read and provided at each file, not at resource creation.
This used to be useful with older API, because it could not re-adapt parameters between sessions.
At some point, it will be better to remove the old code, and only keep the new_api.
It works fine by now.
In some complex scenario,
the buffer would be freed because it's too large,
another buffer would be allocated, but fail,
trigger an error,
and the general buffer pool would then be freed,
where the definition of the already freed buffer would be found
(beyond total index, but still), and freed again, resulting in double-free error.
It would previously exit when srcSize is unknown.
But in the case of custom parameters,
hLog and cLog can still be too large in comparison with windowLog.
