`zstd_errors.h` and `zdict.h` are public headers, so they deserve to be
in the root `lib/` directory with `zstd.h`, not mixed in with our private
headers.
* Switch to yearless copyright per FB policy

This ensures the symbols aren't redefined, which would result in a compiler
error.
I was getting redefined symbols for _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE when building for
32-bit x86 Linux on an older CentOS release in a CI environment. With this
change, I'm able to compile the single file library in this environment.
Closes#2443.
Allow compression to use dictionaries with missing symbols in their
entropy tables. We set the FSE repeat mode to check when there are
missing symbols, and set the FSE repeat mode to valid when all symbols
are present.
Note that when not all symbols are present, the heuristics which favor
dictionary tables for lower compression levels won't activate.
Tested by manually creating a dictionary with missing symbols of every
type, and validing that the compressor rejects it before this change,
and accepts it after this change. Also, I ran the `dictionary_loader`
fuzzer for >1 hour of CPU time without running into cases where
compression succeeds, but decompression fails.
Fixes#2174.
* All copyright lines now have -2020 instead of -present
* All copyright lines include "Facebook, Inc"
* All licenses are now standardized
The copyright in `threading.{h,c}` is not changed because it comes from
zstdmt.
The copyright and license of `divsufsort.{h,c}` is not changed.
The COVER and FASTCOVER dictionary builders can deadlock when
dictionary construction errors, likely because there are too few
samples, or too few distinct dmers. The deadlock only occurs when
there are errors.
Fixes#1746.
* The algorithm would bail as soon as it found one epoch that
contained no new segments. Change it so it now has to fail
>= 10 times in a row (10 for fastcover, 10-100 for cover).
* The algorithm uses the `maxDict` size to decide the epoch size.
When this size is absurdly large, it causes tiny epochs. Lower
bound the epoch size at 10x the segment size, and warn the user
that their training set is too small.
Fixes#1554
as suggested in #1441.
generally U32 and unsigned are the same thing,
except when they are not ...
case : 32-bit compilation for MIPS (uint32_t == unsigned long)
A vast majority of transformation consists in transforming U32 into unsigned.
In rare cases, it's the other way around (typically for internal code, such as seeds).
Among a few issues this patches solves :
- some parameters were declared with type `unsigned` in *.h,
but with type `U32` in their implementation *.c .
- some parameters have type unsigned*,
but the caller user a pointer to U32 instead.
These fixes are useful.
However, the bulk of changes is about %u formating,
which requires unsigned type,
but generally receives U32 values instead,
often just for brevity (U32 is shorter than unsigned).
These changes are generally minor, or even annoying.
As a consequence, the amount of code changed is larger than I would expect for such a patch.
Testing is also a pain :
it requires manually modifying `mem.h`,
in order to lie about `U32`
and force it to be an `unsigned long` typically.
On a 64-bit system, this will break the equivalence unsigned == U32.
Unfortunately, it will also break a few static_assert(), controlling structure sizes.
So it also requires modifying `debug.h` to make `static_assert()` a noop.
And then reverting these changes.
So it's inconvenient, and as a consequence,
this property is currently not checked during CI tests.
Therefore, these problems can emerge again in the future.
I wonder if it is worth ensuring proper distinction of U32 != unsigned in CI tests.
It's another restriction for coding, adding more frustration during merge tests,
since most platforms don't need this distinction (hence contributor will not see it),
and while this can matter in theory, the number of platforms impacted seems minimal.
Thoughts ?
