to mean "pledgedSrcSize is not known at init time" instead of `0`.
Note that, a few prototypes created and documented with `0` to mean "unknown" still interpret "0" as unknown,
to avoid breaking 3rd party applications which depend on this behavior.
But this value is no longer recommended to mean "unknown".
In some future version, it might be possible to switch "0" to mean "empty",
as is already the case for several prototypes.
The advantage is that pledgedSrcSize field would have same behavior accross entire API,
making it easier to reason about.
Note that all concerned prototypes belong to the "experimental" API section.
srcSize is controlled at end of compression,
so if someone uses "0" to mean "unknown" while it effectively means "empty",
this is immediately caught by the compression function, which generates an error code : ZSTD_ERROR_srcSize_wrong
ZSTD_compressBound() works fine, but is only useful for dynamic allocation.
For static allocation, only a macro can provide the amount during compilation time.
It would previously exit when srcSize is unknown.
But in the case of custom parameters,
hLog and cLog can still be too large in comparison with windowLog.
Reduces maximum memory allocated during zstreamtest --newapi
* 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.
supporting function for bufferless streaming API (ZSTD_decompressContinue())
makes it possible to correctly size a round buffer for decoding using this API.
also : added field blockSizeMax within ZSTD_frameHeader,
as it's a necessary information to know when to restart at beginning of decoding buffer.
