Super blocks must never violate the zstd block bound of input_size + ZSTD_blockHeaderSize. The individual sub-blocks may, but not the super block. If the superblock violates the block bound we are liable to violate ZSTD_compressBound(), which we must not do. Whenever the super block violates the block bound we instead emit an uncompressed block.
This means we increase the latency because of the single uncompressed block. I fix this by enabling streaming an uncompressed block, so the latency of an uncompressed block is 1 byte. This doesn't reduce the latency of the buffer-less API, but I don't think we really care.
* I added a test case that verifies that the decompression has 1 byte latency.
* I rely on existing zstreamtest / fuzzer / libfuzzer regression tests for correctness. During development I had several correctness bugs, and they easily caught them.
* The added assert that the superblock doesn't violate the block bound will help us discover any missed conditions (though I think I got them all).

Bugs:
* `ZSTD_DCtx_refPrefix()` didn't clear the dictionary after the first
use. Fix and add a test case.
* `ZSTD_DCtx_reset()` always cleared the dictionary. Fix and add a test
case.
* After calling `ZSTD_resetDStream()` you could no longer load a
dictionary, since the stage was set to `zdss_loadHeader`. Fix and add
a test case.
Cleanup:
* Make `ZSTD_initDStream*()` and `ZSTD_resetDStream()` wrap the new
advanced API, and add test cases.
* Document the equivalent of these functions in the advanced API and
document the unstable functions as deprecated.
benchfn used to rely on mem.h, and util,
which in turn relied on platform.h.
Using benchfn outside of zstd required to bring all these dependencies.
Now, dependency is reduced to timefn only.
This required to create a separate timefn from util,
and rewrite benchfn and timefn to no longer need mem.h.
Separating timefn from util has a wide effect accross the code base,
as usage of time functions is widespread.
A lot of build scripts had to be updated to also include timefn.
It wasn't using the ZSTD_CCtx_params correctly. It must actualize
the compression parameters by calling ZSTD_getCParamsFromCCtxParams()
to get the real window log.
Tested by updating the streaming memory usage example in the next
commit. The CHECK() failed before this patch, and passes after.
I also added a unit test to zstreamtest.c that failed before this
patch, and passes after.
as suggested in #1441.
generally U32 and unsigned are the same thing,
except when they are not ...
case : 32-bit compilation for MIPS (uint32_t == unsigned long)
A vast majority of transformation consists in transforming U32 into unsigned.
In rare cases, it's the other way around (typically for internal code, such as seeds).
Among a few issues this patches solves :
- some parameters were declared with type `unsigned` in *.h,
but with type `U32` in their implementation *.c .
- some parameters have type unsigned*,
but the caller user a pointer to U32 instead.
These fixes are useful.
However, the bulk of changes is about %u formating,
which requires unsigned type,
but generally receives U32 values instead,
often just for brevity (U32 is shorter than unsigned).
These changes are generally minor, or even annoying.
As a consequence, the amount of code changed is larger than I would expect for such a patch.
Testing is also a pain :
it requires manually modifying `mem.h`,
in order to lie about `U32`
and force it to be an `unsigned long` typically.
On a 64-bit system, this will break the equivalence unsigned == U32.
Unfortunately, it will also break a few static_assert(), controlling structure sizes.
So it also requires modifying `debug.h` to make `static_assert()` a noop.
And then reverting these changes.
So it's inconvenient, and as a consequence,
this property is currently not checked during CI tests.
Therefore, these problems can emerge again in the future.
I wonder if it is worth ensuring proper distinction of U32 != unsigned in CI tests.
It's another restriction for coding, adding more frustration during merge tests,
since most platforms don't need this distinction (hence contributor will not see it),
and while this can matter in theory, the number of platforms impacted seems minimal.
Thoughts ?
from overlapSizeLog.
Reasoning :
`overlapLog` is already used everwhere, in the code, command line and documentation.
`ZSTD_c_overlapSizeLog` feels unnecessarily different.
ZSTD_compress_generic() is renamed ZSTD_compressStream2().
Note that, for the time being,
the "stable" API and advanced one use different parameter planes :
setting parameters using the advanced API does not influence ZSTD_compressStream()
and using ZSTD_initCStream() does not influence parameters for ZSTD_compressStream2().
answering #1407.
Also : removed obsolete function ZSTD_setDStreamParameter()
which could only be used with one parameter (DStream_p_maxWindowSize).
Now replaced by ZSTD_DCtx_setWindowSize() (which exists since a few revisions)
