depending on initialization,
the first byte of a new frame was invalidated or not.
As a consequence, one match opportunity was available or not,
resulting in slightly different compressed sizes
(on average, 1 or 2 bytes once every 20 frames).
It impacted ratio comparison between one-shot and streaming modes.
This fix makes the first byte of a new frame always a valid match.
Now compressed size is always the same.
It also improves compressed size by a negligible amount.
* Fix `ZSTD_estimateCCtxSize()` with negative levels.
* Fix `ZSTD_estimateCStreamSize()` with negative levels.
* Add a unit test to test for this error.
from overlapSizeLog.
Reasoning :
`overlapLog` is already used everwhere, in the code, command line and documentation.
`ZSTD_c_overlapSizeLog` feels unnecessarily different.
ZSTD_compress_generic() is renamed ZSTD_compressStream2().
Note that, for the time being,
the "stable" API and advanced one use different parameter planes :
setting parameters using the advanced API does not influence ZSTD_compressStream()
and using ZSTD_initCStream() does not influence parameters for ZSTD_compressStream2().
which now accepts an enum,
to distinguish between resetting the session, or the parameters (or both).
removed ZSTD_CCtx_resetParameters(), which is redundant.
start replacing invocation of ZSTD_CCtx_reset*() functions
Updated advanced API documentation
trimmed down amount of API staged in RC,
in particular, all functions related to ZSTD_CCtxParams()
seem too advanced.
changed workspace parameter convention
to always provide workspaceSize,
so that size can be explicitly checked.
Also, use more enum to make the meaning of some parameters more explicit.
This capability is not needed / used in the current unit of work. I'll
re-introduce it later, when we start allowing users to override the deduced
working context logs.
