We pre-hash the ptr for the dict match state sometimes. When that actually
happens, a hashlog of 0 can produce undefined behavior (right shift a long
long by 64). Only applies to unoptimized compilations, since when
optimizations are applied, those hash operations are dropped when we're not
actually in dms mode.
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.
recently introduce into the new dictionary mode.
The bug could be reproduced with this command :
./zstreamtest -v --opaqueapi --no-big-tests -s4092 -t639
error was in function ZSTD_count_2segments() :
the beginning of the 2nd segment corresponds to prefixStart
and not the beginning of the current block (istart == src).
This would result in comparing the wrong byte.
Zstdmt uses prefixes to load the overlap between segments. Loading extra
positions makes compression non-deterministic, depending on the previous
job the context was used for. Since loading extra position takes extra
time as well, only do it when creating a `ZSTD_CDict`.
Fixes#1077.
negative compression level trade compression ratio for more compression speed.
They turn off huffman compression of literals,
and use row 0 as baseline with a stepSize = -cLevel.
added associated test in fuzzer
also added : new advanced parameter ZSTD_p_literalCompression
