The dictionary-builder sources (lib/dictBuilder) are about to start moving
to Rust, beginning with divsufsort. The Rust crate previously only modeled
the compression/decompression module split plus the forced-HUF decoder
modes, so no build could express "this C configuration includes (or
excludes) dictBuilder" to Cargo. Without that, a Rust archive could carry
dictBuilder modules into a build whose C side disabled them, or worse,
omit a migrated implementation from a build whose C shims require it.
Add a `dict-builder` cargo feature and thread it through every build that
consumes the Rust static archive, mirroring exactly how each build system
already gates the dictBuilder C sources:
- rust/Cargo.toml: new `dict-builder` feature, included in the default
set because the C library builds dictBuilder by default
(ZSTD_LIB_DICTBUILDER ?= 1). The feature is empty until the first
dictBuilder module lands.
- lib/Makefile: RUST_CARGO_FEATURES gains dict-builder when
ZSTD_LIB_DICTBUILDER is enabled, following the existing
ZSTD_LIB_COMPRESSION/ZSTD_LIB_DECOMPRESSION pattern. The archive
directory naming grows a matching `b<0|1>` dimension
(c1-d1-b1-default etc.) so differently configured archives never
collide; the repeated config prefix is factored into
RUST_MODULE_CONFIG.
- programs/Makefile: the full-featured archives now request
compression,decompression,dict-builder (equal to the default set, so
the target directory stays shared with tests). The partial-library
variants gain the `b0` name dimension, and zstd-dictBuilder gets its
own lib-c1-d0-b1 archive because it compiles the dictBuilder C sources
without decompression; it previously shared the compression-only
archive, which will lack the migrated dictBuilder symbols.
- tests/Makefile: no flag change needed since tests use the crate default
feature set; a comment now records that dict-builder arrives that way.
- build/cmake/lib/CMakeLists.txt: ZSTD_BUILD_DICTBUILDER now adds the
dict-builder feature and a `b<0|1>` component in the Rust build-config
directory name, in lockstep with the DictBuilderSources gating.
- build/meson/lib/meson.build: meson compiles the dictBuilder sources
unconditionally, so the feature list and config name gain dict-builder
unconditionally (c1-d1-b1-<huf-mode>).
The `dict-builder` feature deliberately does not imply `compression`.
lib/Makefile forces ZSTD_LIB_DICTBUILDER=0 when compression is disabled,
but CMake does not couple the two options, so encoding the C-side
constraint in Cargo would make the Rust archive diverge from the C source
list in that (already unsupported) CMake configuration.
Test plan:
- cd rust && cargo build --release
- cargo build --release --no-default-features \
--features compression,decompression
- cargo build --release --no-default-features \
--features compression,dict-builder
- Full validation (fuzzer, smoke tests, dictionary byte-identity) runs
with the follow-up commit that ports divsufsort onto this scaffolding.
Continue the incremental zstd_compress.c migration with its frame
serialization leaves: ZSTD_writeFrameHeader(), the public
ZSTD_writeSkippableFrame() ABI, and ZSTD_writeLastEmptyBlock() now live
in rust/src/zstd_compress_frame.rs.
ZSTD_writeFrameHeader() reads five fields out of ZSTD_CCtx_params, whose
layout is private to zstd_compress.c and sensitive to build
configuration. Rather than mirror that structure in Rust, the C
function keeps its original static signature and forwards the scalar
fields to ZSTD_rust_writeFrameHeader(), so no parameter-structure layout
crosses the language boundary. The other two functions take only
pointer/size arguments and are exported directly, replacing their C
bodies outright.
Behavior differences are limited to hardening in release builds: the
Rust leaf clamps a window-size shift that C would leave undefined for a
malformed windowLog, and ZSTD_writeSkippableFrame() rejects a srcSize +
header overflow instead of comparing against a wrapped sum. Both paths
are unreachable through validated callers, so compressed output is
byte-identical.
Remaining zstd_compress.c work: parameter selection and validation,
context lifecycle, block dispatch, dictionary loading, and the streaming
state machine.
Test plan:
- cd rust && cargo fmt --check && cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D
warnings && cargo test --all-targets (118 tests, includes new frame
header/skippable/last-block reference vectors)
- make -C tests fuzzer && ./tests/fuzzer -i1 --no-big-tests
- make -C tests test-rust-lib-smoke
Move long-distance matching and high-level decompression from C shims into
Rust. The decoder now owns context, dictionary, parameter, one-shot, and
buffered streaming state while C retains allocation/configuration, legacy,
and trace leaves.
Move CLI parsing, safety policy, and dispatch into a separate Rust static
archive. Keeping it separate prevents library builds from retaining FIO
symbols, while C continues to own file opening, replacement, and I/O.
Program targets now select matching compression/decompression archives.
The remaining C boundary is intentional: high-level compression, optimal
parsing, dictionary building, legacy callbacks, and CLI file I/O still need
migration.
Test Plan:
- cargo test --all-targets (native and i686)
- cargo test --all-targets in rust/cli (native and i686)
- CLI crate compression-only and decompression-only feature tests
- native and i686 fuzzer/zstreamtest runs, plus legacy and dictionary tests
- ZSTD_C_PREDICT and ZSTD_HEAPMODE=0 fuzzer coverage
- library, dynamic-link, and program-target build/round-trip matrix
Refs: rust/README.md
Move the binary-tree table maintenance shared by optimal compression strategies
into Rust. A small C projection preserves the private match-state boundary;
the dynamic-programming parser and match selection remain C-owned for now.
The Rust implementation covers prefix and external-dictionary tree updates and
preserves the optional C predictor path. The component map now distinguishes
this migrated tree layer from the remaining optimal parser.

Move literal decoding, sequence-table construction, FSE sequence decoding, and
sequence execution into Rust. The C shim retains ownership of the configured
decoder context and passes only the leaf state needed by the block codec.
Correct the two high offset-code bases while porting the tables. Their prior
values made valid large-window streams decode as corrupted data; the new unit
test fixes the exact values and a native zstream regression exercises them.
High-level frame and streaming context control remains C for now.

Move the two-table fast match finder into Rust while retaining a small C
projection of the private match-state. The Rust implementation handles normal,
attached-dictionary, and external-dictionary matching without exposing the
full C context ABI. The C entry points and build-time exclusion guards remain
unchanged for configured consumers.
Document the migrated matcher in the Rust component map and narrow the
remaining-C boundary accordingly.

Move the context-free public ZSTD_compressBound ABI into Rust while leaving
the stateful compressor context in C. The Rust implementation preserves the
size-width-specific input limit, macro arithmetic, and srcSize_wrong error
contract used by C callers.

Move fast hash-table filling and no-dictionary, external-dictionary, and
attached-CDict match loops into Rust. The C shim keeps `ZSTD_MatchState_t`
opaque, extracts only its needed fields, and asserts the mirrored SeqStore
leaf layout so existing compression dispatch remains ABI-compatible.

Move subblock partitioning, literal and sequence section emission, entropy
fallback, and repcode repair into Rust. Keep a narrow C wrapper to read the
opaque compression context and invoke the existing C entropy-stat builder;
the Rust side owns only verified C-shaped leaf layouts.

Refs: Rust sequence entropy port 887af204
Move FSE table-costing, table construction, encoding selection, and sequence
bitstream emission into Rust while retaining the existing C internal-header
boundary. The shim preserves all five C ABI entry points, so the surrounding
compressor continues to consume C-shaped sequence and entropy-table storage.

Link poolTests against the multithreaded object set and Rust static archive,
so its C callbacks exercise the migrated pool rather than compiling a private
C implementation. Preserve ZSTD_MULTITHREAD for the test translation unit;
without it, its pthread test helpers become no-ops while the Rust pool runs
concurrently. Add a Rust regression for draining a small queue after reducing
the worker limit.

Move raw, RLE, and Huffman literal-section encoding into the Rust
compatibility archive. The surrounding C block compressor continues to pass
its existing entropy workspace and Huffman-table state through the unchanged
internal ABI.
The port preserves literal header choices, compression-gain decisions,
repeat-table transitions, and 1X/4X encoder selection. It lets ordinary C
compression paths exercise Rust code without widening this commit into the
remaining frame compressor.
Test Plan:
- cargo clippy, cargo clippy --benches, cargo clippy --tests, and nightly fmt
- cargo test --all-targets (94 passed) and feature-only cargo checks
- native fuzzer, zstreamtest, invalidDictionaries, and CLI round trip
- compare literals and next-table bytes with pristine C on x86_64 and i686
Refs: rust/README.md compression-primitives map
Move Huffman table construction, table serialization, and one- and
four-stream payload encoding from huf_compress.c into the Rust compatibility
archive. The declaration-only C shim preserves the existing internal ABI,
so the remaining C compressor can call the migrated implementation unchanged.
The translation keeps CTable layouts, workspace checks, repeat-table
selection, and bitstream output compatible with the original encoder. This
lets native C consumers exercise the Rust implementation through libzstd.
Test Plan:
- cargo clippy, cargo clippy --benches, and cargo clippy --tests
- cargo +nightly fmt and cargo test --all-targets (88 passed)
- cargo check --no-default-features --features compression
- rebuild and run tests fuzzer, zstreamtest, and invalidDictionaries
- compare tables, headers, and 1X/4X streams with a renamed pristine C build
Refs: rust/README.md component map
Build feature-matched Rust archives for the native Make library path. Flatten
their members into libzstd.a so static consumers resolve C-to-Rust and
Rust-to-C references in one archive, and whole-archive link shared outputs so
every migrated public ABI export remains available.
Rust compression and decompression features now mirror the C partial-library
switches. This prevents compression-only artifacts from retaining DDict
references to decompression-only C helpers.
Add a C archive smoke test that round-trips data and exercises the DDict
lifecycle through lib/libzstd.a, rather than direct test-object links.
Test Plan:
- cargo fmt, strict Clippy, cargo test --all-targets, release build
- Rust checks with compression-only, decompression-only, and no features
- full, partial, forced-HUF, and 32-bit static/shared Make library probes
- test-rust-lib-smoke, fuzzer, zstreamtest, and invalidDictionaries
Refs: rust/README.md
Move ZSTD_splitBlock into Rust while retaining its caller-owned workspace
contract. The implementation preserves the C fingerprint sampling heuristic
and calls the migrated histogram primitive without adding a hot-path
allocation.
Reference-vector and randomized differential tests compare every split level
with the original C translation unit. The C source remains as a declaration
shim so existing source lists resolve the Rust ABI during the migration.
Test Plan:
- cargo fmt, cargo clippy, cargo clippy --benches, cargo clippy --tests
- cargo test --all-targets and cargo build --release
- cargo test/build --target i686-unknown-linux-gnu
- 264-case original-C/Rust differential harness
- C fuzzer, zstreamtest, and fuzzer32 smoke runs
Refs: rust/README.md
Move ZSTD_DDict allocation, ownership, construction, and public ABI exports
into Rust. The C decoder keeps ZSTD_loadDEntropy until its table loader moves.
The C shim now exposes C-computed DCtx field offsets. This keeps dictionary
state correct across conditional C layouts, including fuzz fields and 32-bit
static-BMI2 builds, without duplicating decoder-context layout in Rust.
Test Plan:
- cargo fmt, cargo clippy, cargo clippy --benches, cargo clippy --tests
- cargo test --all-targets and cargo build --release
- cargo test/build --target i686-unknown-linux-gnu
- C fuzzer, zstreamtest, invalidDictionaries, and fuzzer32 smoke runs

Refs: rust/README.md
Mode-specific Rust archives exposed the test makefiles' flat C-object cache:
switching from default to forced HUF mode could relink stale default C objects
with a newly built forced Rust archive. That hybrid has incompatible decoder
table expectations and can corrupt dictionary decompression.
Track each makefile's effective HUF mode with an empty archive stamp. It is a
safe normal linker prerequisite, and every mode transition advances its mtime
so cached C objects and direct-source binaries rebuild while unchanged modes
remain incremental.
Test Plan:
- cargo clippy; cargo clippy --benches; cargo clippy --tests
- cargo +nightly fmt, then repeat the Clippy checks
- cargo test --all-targets
- Default -> forced-X1 -> default fuzzer builds without -B, each running
./fuzzer -s5346 -i1 --no-big-tests

Fixes: d89ebb31
Move Huffman decoding-table construction and X1/X2 single- and four-stream
decoding into Rust. The original C translation unit is now a declaration shim,
so unchanged C callers and tests resolve the public decoder ABI from the Rust
archive.
The portable implementation preserves the C workspace and error contracts,
retains the existing assembly-only internal fast loops, and mirrors the C
32-bit decode cadence so X2 writes remain within its required output window.
Forced X1/X2 modes follow the matching archive configuration from the build
integration.
Test Plan:
- cargo clippy; cargo clippy --benches; cargo clippy --tests
- cargo +nightly fmt, then repeat the Clippy checks
- cargo test --all-targets for default, forced X1, and forced X2 modes
- cargo build and cargo test for i686-unknown-linux-gnu in all three modes
- Strict normal, X1, and X2 C shim compilation
- Original fuzzer and fullbench compatibility targets
Refs: rust/README.md
Depends-on: d89ebb31
Derive the Rust static-library configuration from the effective C HUF decoder
flags and place each mode in its own Cargo target directory. This prevents a
forced X1/X2 C build from silently reusing the default Rust archive.
The test and program makefiles now also build and link an i686 Rust archive
for their 32-bit targets, including zstd32. zstd-small retains its existing
default configuration while preserving an explicitly requested HUF mode.
Test Plan:
- cargo clippy; cargo clippy --benches; cargo clippy --tests
- cargo +nightly fmt, then repeat the Clippy checks
- cargo test --all-targets for default, forced X1, and forced X2 modes
- cargo build --release --target i686-unknown-linux-gnu for each mode
- make -n checks for default, forced, direct -D, and 32-bit test/CLI targets

Use an explicitly 64-bit literal before narrowing it in the common-byte test,
and derive the FSE compression-bound expectation from `size_of::<usize>()`.
The tests now exercise the same public contracts on 32-bit and 64-bit targets
instead of embedding a 64-bit-only compile-time assumption.

Move FSE normalization, count-header writing, compression-table construction,
and stream encoding from C to Rust. The original C source remains as a
header-only shim, preserving the public header configuration while native
consumers receive the Rust archive exports.
This completes both codec directions for FSE in the migration crate and lets
the unchanged C compatibility tests exercise the Rust encoder implementation.
Test Plan:
- cargo clippy; cargo clippy --benches; cargo clippy --tests
- cargo +nightly fmt, then repeat the Clippy checks
- cargo test --all-targets
- cargo build --release

Make Rust sources normal prerequisites of native C test executables and CLI
builds. A changed Rust module now rebuilds libzstd_rs.a and relinks the target,
instead of relying on a manually prepared archive that can silently be stale.
The archive is linked after C objects, allowing migrated C shims to resolve
their Rust ABI symbols while remaining compatible with the existing makefile
flows. The migration guide now documents this behavior.

Move byte histogram counting into Rust for FSE and Huffman compression callers.
The implementation preserves the C workspace contract, checked alphabet path,
fast path, empty-input behavior, and C ABI while the original C source becomes
a header-only compatibility shim.
Focused tests cover count accumulation, invalid alphabets, workspace failures,
and striped large inputs. Higher-level compression remains C for now.
Test Plan:
- cargo fmt --check
- cargo test --all-targets
- cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
- cargo build --release
- make -C tests fuzzer
- ./tests/fuzzer -i1 --no-big-tests

Refs: rust/README.md
Replace the common worker pool and debug pthread wrappers with ABI-compatible
Rust implementations. The pool preserves bounded-queue, resize, drain-on-free,
custom-allocator, and no-thread behavior while C supplies only the build-time
multithreading configuration bit.
This moves runtime support without changing C tests or public headers. Codec
and CLI implementations remain C while their dependencies are migrated.
Test Plan:
- cargo fmt --check
- cargo test --all-targets
- cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
- cargo build --release
- make -C tests poolTests
- ./tests/poolTests
- compile pool and threading shims with -Werror in MT and no-thread modes
Refs: rust/README.md
Move FSE normalized-count parsing, Huffman statistics decoding, FSE table
construction, and FSE stream decompression into Rust. The C source files now
only retain the headers needed by the existing build configuration.
The implementation keeps the public C ABI and verifies C-generated balanced,
skewed, and Huffman-statistics streams. Compression and the higher-level frame
decoder remain C for now.
Test Plan:
- cargo fmt --check
- cargo test --all-targets
- cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
- cargo build --release
- compile both C shims with -Werror and -Wredundant-decls
Refs: rust/README.md
Introduce the Rust static library and move the shared byte, bitstream, CPU,
error, xxHash, debug, and public-common implementations into it. Thin C shims
preserve the existing header-driven C build while original tests link the Rust
archive.
This establishes the ABI-safe foundation for later codec and CLI ports;
entropy coding, runtime support, codecs, dictionaries, and the CLI remain C.
The top-down migration map documents that boundary and its validation path.
Test Plan:
- cargo fmt --check
- cargo test --all-targets
- cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
