they were pretty easy to trigger by the way,
just start an extended paramgrill session
to find a compression table based on any sample,
it would necessarily happen at some point.
assert() in paramgrill are not in the benchmark path.
They should remain active, as they don't impact measurements, and their runtime is insignificant.
* Minor fix

* Remove trimming of zero freq head and tail in selectSegment and rebenchmark
* Remove f as a separate parameter of tryParam
* Read 8 bytes when d is 6
* Add trimming off zero frequency head and tail
* Use best functions from COVER and remove trimming part(which leads to worse compression ratio after previous bugs were fixed)

* Change nbDmer to always read 8 bytes even when d=6
* Add skip=# argument to allow skipping dmers in computeFrequency in FASTCOVER

* Change default method of ZDICT_trainFromBuffer to ZDICT_optimizeTrainFromBuffer_fastCover
* Add dictType enum and fix bug about passing zParam when converting to coverParam
* Combine finalize and skip into a single parameter
* Update acceleration parameters and benchmark on 3 sample sets
* Change default splitPoint of FASTCOVER to 0.75 and benchmark first 3 sample sets
* Initialize variables outside of for loop in benchmark.c
* Update benchmark result for hg-manifest
* Remove cover.h from install-includes
* Add explanation of f
* Set default compression level for trainFromBuffer to 3
* Add assertion of fastCoverParams in DiB_trainFromFiles
* Add checkTotalCompressedSize function + some minor fixes
* Add test for multithreading fastCovr
* Initialize segmentFreqs in every FASTCOVER_selectSegment and move mutex_unnlock to end of COVER_best_finish
* Free segmentFreqs
* Initialize segmentFreqs before calling FASTCOVER_buildDictionary instead of in FASTCOVER_selectSegment
* Add FASTCOVER_MEMMULT
* Minor fix
* Update benchmarking result
Per warnings from flawfinder: "Does not check for buffer overflows when
copying to destination [MS-banned] (CWE-120). Consider using snprintf,
strcpy_s, or strlcpy (warning: strncpy easily misused).".
Replaced called to strcpy and strcat in `fileio.c` to calls with a
specified size (`strncpy` and `strncat`).
Tested the changes on OSX, Linux, Windows.
On OSX + Linux, changes were tested with ASAN. The following flags were
used: 'check_initialization_order=1:strict_init_order=1:detect_odr_violation=1:detect_stack_use_after_return=1'
To reproduce warning:
./flawfinder.py ./programs/fileio.c

Debug Macro for extra printing
Additional constraint checking
Minor fixes
more param parsing
Add Memory
Change paramVariation
work on feasibility

Changed Paramgrill to use bench.c benchmarking
customlevel macro
Printing Flag

Explicit casting
Makefile fix

The correct parameters are used once, but once `ZSTD_resetCStream()` is
called the default parameters (level 3) are used. Fix this by setting
`requestedParams` in the `ZSTD_initCStream*()` functions.
The added tests both fail before this patch and pass after.
OpenBSD's port building infrastructure is able to build in a privilege
separated mode. It uses a privilege drop model. Regression tests fail in
this mode as xz/lzma is unable to set file group and errors out with:
xz: tmp.xz: Cannot set the file group: Operation not permitted
gmake[1]: *** [Makefile:307: zstd-playTests] Error 2
Actually it is not a xz/lzma error but a warning causing zstd's
regression test to fail. Proposed fix is to have xz/lzma not set the
exit status to 2 even if a condition worth a warning was detected (-Q
flag).
https://github.com/facebook/zstd/pull/1124 fixes an issue with GNU/Hurd
being unable to write to /dev/zero. Implemented fix is writing to
/dev/random instead.
On OpenBSD a regular user is unable to write to /dev/random because of
permissions set on this device. Result is failing a regression test.
Proposed solution should work for all platforms.
