It makes it more difficult to directly cast the result of a function,
requiring to store the result in an intermediate variable.
It does not necessarily help readability,
and this restriction can be difficult to overcome in some constructions,
like some macros.

ZSTD_frameParams => ZSTD_frameHeader
ZSTD_getFrameParams() -> ZSTD_getFrameHeader()
The new naming is more distinctive from ZSTD_frameParameters,
which is used during compression.
ZSTD_frameHeader is clearer in its intention to described frame header content.
It also implies we are decoding a ZSTD frame, hence we are at decoding stage.
added a parameter streaming,
to estimate memory allocation size
when the CCtx is used for streaming (CStream).
Note : this function is not able to estimate
memory cost of a potential internal CDict
which can only happen when starting with ZSTD_initCStream_usingDict()
It inflates binary sizes, which is negative for the Windows build.
It also makes it impossible to check if 2 different source codes
get nonetheless compiled to the same binary,
since checksum will be different, due to integrated source code.
Previous -18 : 4.7 MB/s, R:3.833
New -18 : 5.1 MB/s. R:3.825
It's a better fit within -17 (6.8 MB/s) and -19 (4.0 MB/s)
The new level 18 also uses significantly less memory.
And, it makes a good transition between level 17 (mml5)
and level 19 (mml3).
Up to now, there was no level with mml4.
(note : minmatch setting can have a large impact on some (specific) datasets)
It now only uses compressionParameters as argument.
It produces many changes throughout user code,
though hopefully they tend to be simple :
just provide the cParams part from existing ZSTD_parameters.
Some programs might depend on ZSTD_createCDict_advanced() to pass frame parameters.
This change will force them to revisit this strategy and fix it,
since frame parameters are effectively silently ignored in current version.
clearer separation between variables and buffers
clearer buffers category
kept static buffers at the beginning, favoring cache locality
(it will be easier to add FSE tables there later)
This break a few assumptions that hashTable was always at the beginning.
This is fixed.
And remaining assumptions (namely that tables stand next to each other in memory)
are now tested with assert.
because by definition srcSize is not known when using this prototype.
added relevant test
Note : this use was already working, because at a later stage
(both ZSTD_compressBegin_usingCDict() and ZSTD_copyCCtx())
pledgedSrcSize=0 is translated into "unknown", no matter the frame parameter.
This is not correct, but of little importance,
as the medium term plan is to no longer set fParams within CDict
This is now the regroup point for ZSTD_initCStream*() functions
ZSTD_initCStream_advanced() now properly checks for parameters validity.
Also : added <assert.h> usage inside zstd_compress.c
Needs ZSTD_DEBUG=1 macro to be triggered.
Will be triggered by default from `tests` directory
does no longer allocate temporary buffers
when there is enough room in dstBuffer to decompress directly there.
(previous method would skip that for 1st chunk only).
Also : fix ZSTD_compressBound() for small srcSize
required so that if Total = A+B
compressBound(Total) <= compressBound(A) + compressBound(B)
under condition of a minimum size for A and B
Will help for ZSTDMT_compress() memory allocation
Method 1 __packed is always as good or better than memcpy().
But it's not portable, as it depends on compiler extension.
For gcc, __pakced directive works fine.
Furthermore, gcc has serious performance issues with memcpy() on ARM 32 bits.
See #620
now works with the `=` variant, which is the recommended one.
Old variant `--dictID #` still works, for compatibility with existing scripts.
Long term objective is to remove the old variant..
forgot to add the dictionary content
(tests were not failing, just compressing less).
Also : added size protections when adding dict content
since hc/bt table filling would fail if size < 8
The compressor always reuses the existing Huffman table if the literals
size is at most 1 KiB. If the compression strategy is `ZSTD_lazy` or
stronger always check to see if reusing the previous table or creating
a new table is better.
This doesn't yet weigh in decompression speed. I don't want to add any
heuristics there until I have real data to work with to ensure that the
heuristic works for at least one use case, preferably more.
This decoder variant is detrimental to x86 architecture
likely due to register pressure.
Note that the variant is disabled for all 32-bits targets.
It's unclear if it would help for different architectures,
such as ARM, MIPS or PowerPC.
* Compressor saves most recently used Huffman table and reuses it
if it produces better results.
* I attempted to preserve CPU usage profile.
I intentionally left all of the existing heuristics in place.
There is only a speed difference on the second block and later.
When compressing large enough blocks (say >= 4 KiB) there is
no significant difference in compression speed.
Dictionary compression of one block is the same speed for blocks
with literals <= 1 KiB, and after that the difference is not
very significant.
* In the synthetic data, with blocks 10 KB or smaller, most blocks
can't use repeated tables because the previous block did not
contain a symbol that the current block contains.
Once blocks are about 12 KB or more, most previous blocks have
valid Huffman tables for the current block, and the compression
ratio and decompression speed jumped.
* In silesia blocks as small as 4KB can frequently reuse the
previous Huffman table (85%), but it isn't as profitable, and
the previous Huffman table only gets used about 3% of the time.
* Microbenchmarks show that `HUF_validateCTable()` takes ~55 ns
and `HUF_estimateCompressedSize()` takes ~35 ns.
They are decently well optimized, the first versions took 90 ns
and 120 ns respectively. `HUF_validateCTable()` could be twice as
fast, if we cast the `HUF_CElt*` to a `U32*` and compare to 0.
However, `U32` has an alignment of 4 instead of 2, so I think that
might be undefined behavior.
* I've ran `zstreamtest` compiled normally, with UASAN and with MSAN
for 4 hours each.
The worst case for the speed difference is a bunch of small blocks
in the same frame. I modified `bench.c` to compress the input in a
single frame but with blocks of the given block size, set by `-B`.

Previously,
followed by :
would fail to include the static definitions,
because the second include was simply skipped by guard macro.
Now it works as intended :
the missing static part is included during the second include.
XXH_STATIC_LINKING_ONLY protection macro is intended to be triggered just before the include.
The main idea is to keep this setting local :
user module shall explicitly understand and accept the static linking restriction
which becomes transparent when triggering the macro at project level.
Global definition also triggers redefinition warnings for user modules which do locally define the macro.
This new version compiles lib and cli without warning when the macro is set globally.
That's not a scenario to be recommended, since it trades a local effect for a global one,
but it was easy enough to provide from zstd side.
When ZSTD_decompressStream() detects
that there is enough space in dst
to complete decompression in a single pass,
delegates to ZSTD_decompress(),
for an extra ~5% speed boost
There used to be a (very small) chance that
loading prefix from previous segment
would be confused with a real zstd dictionary.
For that to happen, the prefix needs to start
with the same value as dictionary magic.
That's 1 chance in 4 billions if all values have equal probability.
But in fact, since some values are more common (0x00000000 for example)
others are less common, and dictionary magic was selected to be one of them,
so probabilities are likely even lower.
Anyway, this risk is no down to zero
by adding a new CCtx parameter : ZSTD_p_forceRawDict
Current parameter policy : the parameter "stick" to its CCtx,
so any dictionary loading after ZSTD_p_forceRawDict is set
will be loaded in "raw" ("content only") mode,
even if CCtx is re-used multiple times with multiple different dictionary.
It's up to the user to reset this value differently if it needs so.
Reproduction steps:
```
make zstreamtest CC=clang CFLAGS="-O3 -g -fsanitize=memory -fsanitize-memory-track-origins"
./zstreamtest -vv -t4178 -i4178 -s4531
```
How to get to the error in gdb (may be a more efficient way):
* 2 breaks at zstd_compress.c:2418 -- in ZSTD_compressContinue_internal()
* 2 breaks at zstd_compress.c:2276 -- in ZSTD_compressBlock_internal()
* 1 break at zstd_compress.c:1547
Why the error occurred:
When `zc->forceWindow == 1`, after calling `ZSTD_loadDictionaryContent()` we
have `zc->loadedDictEnd == zc->nextToUpdate == 0`. But, we've really loaded up
to `iend` into the dictionary. Then in `ZSTD_compressBlock_internal()` we see
that `current > zc->nextToUpdate + 384`, so we load the last 192 bytes a second
time. In this case the bytes we are loading are a block of all 0s, starting in
the previous block. So when we are loading the last 192 bytes, we find a `match`
in the future, 183 bytes beyond `ip`. Since the block is all 0s, the match
extends to the end of the block. But in `ZSTD_count()` we only check that
`pIn < pInLoopLimit`, but since `pMatch > pIn`, `pMatch` eventually points past
the end of the buffer, causing the MSAN failure.
The fix:
The line changed sets sets `zc->nextToUpdate` to the end of the dictionary.
This is the behavior that existed before `ZSTD_p_forceWindow` was introduced.
This fixes the exposing test case. Since the code doesn't fail without
`zc->forceWindow`, it makes sense that this works. I've run the command
`./zstreamtest -T2mn` 64 times without failures. CI should also verify nothing
obvious broke.
- Add ZSTD_findDecompressedSize
- Traverses multiple frames to find total output size
- Add ZSTD_getFrameContentSize
- Gets the decompressed size of a single frame by reading header
- Deprecate ZSTD_getDecompressedSize
the minimum size condition size is applied transparently (no warning, no error)
like previous minimum section size condition (1 KB) which still applies.
Previous version was requiring a fairly large initial amount of input data
before starting to create compression jobs.
This new version starts the process much sooner.

improved ZSTD_compressBlock_opt_extDict_generic
In some extraordinary circumstances,
*Length field can be generated from reading a partially uninitialized memory segment.
Data is correctly identified as corrupted later on,
but the read taints some later pointer arithmetic operation.
fileio.c was continually pushing more content without giving a chance to flush compressed one.
It would block the job queue when input data was accumulated too fast (requiring to define many threads).
Fixed : fileio flushes whatever it can after each input attempt.
Sections 2+ read a bit of data from previous section
in order to improve compression ratio.
This also costs some CPU, to reference read data.
Read data is currently fixed to window>>3 size
By default, section sizes are 4x window size.
This new setting allow manual selection of section sizes.
The larger they are, the (slightly) better the compression ratio,
but also the higher the memory allocation cost,
and eventually the lesser the nb of possible threads,
since each section is compressed by a single thread.
It also introduces a prototype to set generic parameters,
ZSTDMT_setMTCtxParameter()
The idea is that it's possible to add enums
to extend the list of parameters that can be set this way.
This is more long-term oriented than a fixed-size struct.
Consider it as a test.
In some (rare) cases, job list could be blocked by a first job still being processed,
while all following ones are completed, waiting to be flushed.
In such case, the current job-table implementation is unable to accept new job.
As a consequence, a call to ZSTDMT_compressStream() can be useless (nothing read, nothing flushed),
with the risk to trigger a busy-wait on the caller side
(needlessly loop over ZSTDMT_compressStream() ).
In such a case, ZSTDMT_compressStream() will block until the first job is completed and ready to flush.
It ensures some forward progress by guaranteeing it will flush at least a part of the completed job.
Energy-wasting busy-wait is avoided.
Like ZSTD_initCStream_usingDict(),
ZSTDMT_initCStream_usingDict() now keep a copy of dict internally.
This way, dict can be released :
it does not longer have to outlive all future compression sessions.
