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.
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.
and slightly refactored affected function.
Honestly, the formula calculating variance should get a second reviewing round,
it's not clear if it's correct.
We could allocate up to 2^28 bytes of memory when using 2 threads with
window log = 24. Now, we limit it to 2^26 bytes of memory when not running
big tests.
I chose max window log = 22 since that is the maximum source size when
big tests are disabled. Hopefully this will be enough to reduce or
eliminate the test failures.
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).
