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()
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
