Previously, each job would reserve a CCtx right before being posted.
The CCtx would be "part of the job description",
and only released when the job is completed (aka flushed).
For ZSTDMT_compress(), which creates all jobs first and only join at the end,
that meant one CCtx per job.
The nb of jobs used to be == nb of threads,
but since latest modification,
which reduces the size of jobs in order to spread the load of difficult areas,
it also increases the nb of jobs for large sources / small compression level.
This resulted in many more CCtx being created.
In this new version, CCtx are reserved within the worker thread.
It guaranteea there cannot be more CCtx reserved than workers (<= nb threads).
To do that, it required to make the CCtx Pool multi-threading-safe :
it can now be called from multiple threads in parallel.
Makes frame type (zstd,skippable) detection more straighforward.
ZSTD_getFrameHeader set frameContentSize=ZSTD_CONTENTSIZE_UNKNOWN to mean "field not present"
ZSTD_estimateCDictSize() now uses same arguments as ZSTD_createCDict()
ZSTD_estimateCDictSize_advanced() uses same arguments as ZSTD_createCDict_advanced()
ZSTD_frameParams => ZSTD_frameHeader
ZSTD_getFrameParams() -> ZSTD_getFrameHeader()
The new naming is more distinctive from ZSTD_frameParameters,
which is used during compression.
ZSTD_frameHeader is clearer in its intention to described frame header content.
It also implies we are decoding a ZSTD frame, hence we are at decoding stage.
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.
- Add ZSTD_findDecompressedSize
- Traverses multiple frames to find total output size
- Add ZSTD_getFrameContentSize
- Gets the decompressed size of a single frame by reading header
- Deprecate ZSTD_getDecompressedSize
