now ZSTD_customCMem is promoted as new default.
Advantages : ZSTD_customCMem = { NULL, NULL, NULL},
so it's natural default after a memset.
ZSTD_customCMem is public constant
(defaultCustomMem was private only).
Also : makes it possible to introduce ZSTD_calloc(),
which can now default to stdlib's calloc()
when it detects system default.
Fixed zlibwrapper which depended on defaultCustomMem.
memset() was a quick fix to initialization problems,
but initialize too much space (tables, buffers)
which show up in decompression speed of ZSTD_decompress()
since it needs to recreate DCtx at each invocation.
Fixed by only initialization relevant pointers and size fields.
They are now the same object.
It's recommended to keep both types in source code
as previous versions of library (<v1.3.0)
still need this differentiation.
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.
This decoder variant is detrimental to x86 architecture
likely due to register pressure.
Note that the variant is disabled for all 32-bits targets.
It's unclear if it would help for different architectures,
such as ARM, MIPS or PowerPC.
XXH_STATIC_LINKING_ONLY protection macro is intended to be triggered just before the include.
The main idea is to keep this setting local :
user module shall explicitly understand and accept the static linking restriction
which becomes transparent when triggering the macro at project level.
Global definition also triggers redefinition warnings for user modules which do locally define the macro.
This new version compiles lib and cli without warning when the macro is set globally.
That's not a scenario to be recommended, since it trades a local effect for a global one,
but it was easy enough to provide from zstd side.
