ensure that the structure layout is as expected.
will trigger an error if it changes in the future.
Another solution would be to use a union,
this would be cleaner and get rid of these static asserts.
However, in order to keep the current code unmodified,
it would be necessary to use an un-named unions.
And apparently, un-named unions are only possible on "recent" compilers (C99+).
corresponding to the removal of workspace
which is needed while building huffman table
and is now either present in DCtx,
or temporarily borrowed from available FSE table space.
We could undersize the literals buffer by up to 11 bytes,
due to a combination of 2 bugs:
* The literals buffer didn't have `WILDCOPY_OVERLENGTH` extra
space, like it is supposed to.
* We didn't check the literals buffer size in `ZSTD_sufficientBuff()`.
* Minor fix
* Run non-optimize FASTCOVER 5 times in benchmark
* Merge fastCover into dictBuilder
* Fix mixed declaration issue
* Add fastcover to symbol.c
* Add fastCover.c and cover.h to build
* Change fastCover.c to fastcover.c
* Update benchmark to run FASTCOVER in dictBuilder
* Undo spliting fastcover_param into cover_param and f
* Remove convert param functions
* Assign f to parameter
* Add zdict.h to Makefile in lib
* Add cover.h to BUCK
* Cast 1 to U64 before shifting
* Remove trimming of zero freq head and tail in selectSegment and rebenchmark
* Remove f as a separate parameter of tryParam
* Read 8 bytes when d is 6
* Add trimming off zero frequency head and tail
* Use best functions from COVER and remove trimming part(which leads to worse compression ratio after previous bugs were fixed)
* Add finalize= argument to FASTCOVER to specify percentage of training samples passed to ZDICT_finalizeDictionary
* Change nbDmer to always read 8 bytes even when d=6
* Add skip=# argument to allow skipping dmers in computeFrequency in FASTCOVER
* Update comments and benchmarking result
* Change default method of ZDICT_trainFromBuffer to ZDICT_optimizeTrainFromBuffer_fastCover
* Add dictType enum and fix bug about passing zParam when converting to coverParam
* Combine finalize and skip into a single parameter
* Update acceleration parameters and benchmark on 3 sample sets
* Change default splitPoint of FASTCOVER to 0.75 and benchmark first 3 sample sets
* Initialize variables outside of for loop in benchmark.c
* Update benchmark result for hg-manifest
* Remove cover.h from install-includes
* Add explanation of f
* Set default compression level for trainFromBuffer to 3
* Add assertion of fastCoverParams in DiB_trainFromFiles
* Add checkTotalCompressedSize function + some minor fixes
* Add test for multithreading fastCovr
* Initialize segmentFreqs in every FASTCOVER_selectSegment and move mutex_unnlock to end of COVER_best_finish
* Free segmentFreqs
* Initialize segmentFreqs before calling FASTCOVER_buildDictionary instead of in FASTCOVER_selectSegment
* Add FASTCOVER_MEMMULT
* Minor fix
* Update benchmarking result
tells in a non-blocking way if there is something ready to flush right now.
only works with multi-threading for the time being.
Useful to know if flush speed will be limited by lack of production.
