ZSTD_updateTree() expected to be followed by a Bt match finder, which would update zc->nextToUpdate.
With the new optimal match finder, it's not necessarily the case : a match might be found during repcode or hash3, and stops there because it reaches sufficient_len, without even entering the binary tree.
Previous policy was to nonetheless update zc->nextToUpdate, but the current position would not be inserted, creating "holes" in the btree, aka positions that will no longer be searched.
Now, when current position is not inserted, zc->nextToUpdate is not update, expecting ZSTD_updateTree() to fill the tree later on.
Solution selected is that ZSTD_updateTree() takes care of properly setting zc->nextToUpdate,
so that it no longer depends on a future function to do this job.
It took time to get there, as the issue started with a memory sanitizer error.
The pb would have been easier to spot with a proper `assert()`.
So this patch add a few of them.
Additionnally, I discovered that `make test` does not enable `assert()` during CLI tests.
This patch enables them.
Unfortunately, these `assert()` triggered other (unrelated) bugs during CLI tests, mostly within zstdmt.
So this patch also fixes them.
- Changed packed structure for gcc memory access : memory sanitizer would complain that a read "might" reach out-of-bound position on the ground that the `union` is larger than the type accessed.
Now, to avoid this issue, each type is independent.
- ZSTD_CCtxParams_setParameter() : @return provides the value of parameter, clamped/fixed appropriately.
- ZSTDMT : changed constant name to ZSTDMT_JOBSIZE_MIN
- ZSTDMT : multithreading is automatically disabled when srcSize <= ZSTDMT_JOBSIZE_MIN, since only one thread will be used in this case (saves memory and runtime).
- ZSTDMT : nbThreads is automatically clamped on setting the value.
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.
* Maximum window size in 32-bit mode is 1GB, since allocations for 2GB fail
on my Mac.
* Maximum window size in 64-bit mode is 2GB, since that is the largest
power of 2 that works with the overflow prevention.
* Allow `--long=windowLog` to set the window log, along with
`--zstd=wlog=#`. These options also set the window size during
decompression, but don't override `--memory=#` if it is set.
* Present a helpful error message when the window size is too large during
decompression.
* The long range matcher defaults to a hash log 7 less than the window log,
which keeps it at 20 for window log 27.
* Keep the default long range matcher window size and the default maximum
window size at 27 for the API and CLI.
* Add tests that use the maximum window size and hash size for compression
and decompression.
