The block splitter confuses sequences with literal length == 65536 that use a
repeat offset code. It interprets this as literal length == 0 when deciding the
meaning of the repeat offset, and corrupts the repeat offset history. This is
benign, merely causing suboptimal compression performance, if the confused
history is flushed before the end of the block, e.g. if there are 3 consecutive
non-repeat code sequences after the mistake. It also is only triggered if the
block splitter decided to split the block.
All that to say: This is a rare bug, and requires quite a few conditions to
trigger. However, the good news is that if you have a way to validate that the
decompressed data is correct, e.g. you've enabled zstd's checksum or have a
checksum elsewhere, the original data is very likely recoverable. So if you were
affected by this bug please reach out.
The fix is to remind the block splitter that the literal length is actually 64K.
The test case is a bit tricky to set up, but I've managed to reproduce the issue.
Thanks to @danlark1 for alerting us to the issue and providing us a reproducer!
comparing level 19 to level 22 and expecting a stricter better result from level 22
is not that guaranteed,
because level 19 and 22 are very close to each other,
especially for small files,
so any noise in the final compression result
result in failing this test.
Level 22 could be compared to something much lower, like level 15,
But level 19 is required anyway, because there is a clamping test which depends on it.
Removed level 22, kept level 19
Split the logic for parameter adaption from the logic to update the display rate.
This decouples the two updates, so changes to display updates don't affect
parameter adaption.
Also add a test case that checks that parameter adaption actually happens.
This fixes Issue #3353, where --adapt is broken when --no-progress is passed.
Fixes#3212.
Long literal and match lengths had an off-by-one error in ZSTD_getSequenceLength.
Fix the off-by-one error, and add a golden compression test that catches the bug.
Also run all the golden tests in the cli-tests framework.
When user pass in argument for both decompression and multi-thread, print a warning message
to indicate that multi-threaded decompression is not supported.
* Add warning when multi-thread decompression is requested
* add test case for multi-threaded decoding warning
Expectation is for -d -T0 we will not throw any warning,
and see warning for any other -d -T(>1) inputs
Set removeSrcFile back to false when -c or --stdout is used to improve
compatibility with gzip(1) behavior.
gzip(1) is removing the original file on compression unless --stdout or
/-c is used. zstd is defaulting to keep the file unless --rm is used or
when it is called via a gzip symlink, in which it is removing by
default. Specifying -c/--stdout turns this behavior off.
Add cli-tests to `make test`. This adds a `python3` dependency to `make
test`, but not `make check`. We could make this dependency optional by
skipping the tests if `python3` is not present.
