added some test
also updated relevant doc
+ fixed a mistake in `lz4` symlink support :
lz4 utility doesn't remove source files by default (like zstd, but unlike gzip).
The symlink must behave the same.
ZSTD_updateTree() expected to be followed by a Bt match finder, which would update zc->nextToUpdate.
With the new optimal match finder, it's not necessarily the case : a match might be found during repcode or hash3, and stops there because it reaches sufficient_len, without even entering the binary tree.
Previous policy was to nonetheless update zc->nextToUpdate, but the current position would not be inserted, creating "holes" in the btree, aka positions that will no longer be searched.
Now, when current position is not inserted, zc->nextToUpdate is not update, expecting ZSTD_updateTree() to fill the tree later on.
Solution selected is that ZSTD_updateTree() takes care of properly setting zc->nextToUpdate,
so that it no longer depends on a future function to do this job.
It took time to get there, as the issue started with a memory sanitizer error.
The pb would have been easier to spot with a proper `assert()`.
So this patch add a few of them.
Additionnally, I discovered that `make test` does not enable `assert()` during CLI tests.
This patch enables them.
Unfortunately, these `assert()` triggered other (unrelated) bugs during CLI tests, mostly within zstdmt.
So this patch also fixes them.
- Changed packed structure for gcc memory access : memory sanitizer would complain that a read "might" reach out-of-bound position on the ground that the `union` is larger than the type accessed.
Now, to avoid this issue, each type is independent.
- ZSTD_CCtxParams_setParameter() : @return provides the value of parameter, clamped/fixed appropriately.
- ZSTDMT : changed constant name to ZSTDMT_JOBSIZE_MIN
- ZSTDMT : multithreading is automatically disabled when srcSize <= ZSTDMT_JOBSIZE_MIN, since only one thread will be used in this case (saves memory and runtime).
- ZSTDMT : nbThreads is automatically clamped on setting the value.
file-information is dependent on decompression functions.
it should only be enabled when ZSTD_NODECOMPRESS is not set.
also : added zstd-compress compilation test into `make shortest`
