it was invoking ZSTD_initCStream_advanced() with pledgedSrcSize==0 and contentSizeFlag=1
which means "empty"
while the intention was to mean "unknown".
The contentSizeFlag==1 is new, it is a consequence of setting this value to 1 by default.
The solution selected here is to pass ZSTD_CONTENTSIZE_UNKNOWN to mean "unknown".
So contentSizeFlag remains set (it wasn't in previous versions).
UTIL_getFileSize() used to return zero on failure.
This made it impossible to distinguish a failure from a genuine empty file.
Both cases where coalesced.
Adding UTIL_FILESIZE_UNKNOWN constant has many consequences on user code,
since in many places, the `0` was assumed to mean "error".
This is no longer the case, and the error code must be actively checked.
for easier invocation.
- no longer expose frequency timer :
it's either useless, or stored internally in a static variable (init is only necessary once).
- UTIL_getTime() provides result by function return.
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.
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.
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.
