/* Approach to just fitting a requested compressed size: |
15 |
|
16 |
fitblk performs three compression passes on a portion of the input |
17 |
data in order to determine how much of that input will compress to |
18 |
nearly the requested output block size. The first pass generates |
19 |
enough deflate blocks to produce output to fill the requested |
20 |
output size plus a specfied excess amount (see the EXCESS define |
21 |
below). The last deflate block may go quite a bit past that, but |
22 |
is discarded. The second pass decompresses and recompresses just |
23 |
the compressed data that fit in the requested plus excess sized |
24 |
buffer. The deflate process is terminated after that amount of |
25 |
input, which is less than the amount consumed on the first pass. |
26 |
The last deflate block of the result will be of a comparable size |
27 |
to the final product, so that the header for that deflate block and |
28 |
the compression ratio for that block will be about the same as in |
29 |
the final product. The third compression pass decompresses the |
30 |
result of the second step, but only the compressed data up to the |
31 |
requested size minus an amount to allow the compressed stream to |
32 |
complete (see the MARGIN define below). That will result in a |
33 |
final compressed stream whose length is less than or equal to the |
34 |
requested size. Assuming sufficient input and a requested size |
35 |
greater than a few hundred bytes, the shortfall will typically be |
36 |
less than ten bytes. |
37 |
|
38 |
If the input is short enough that the first compression completes |
39 |
before filling the requested output size, then that compressed |
40 |
stream is return with no recompression. |
41 |
|
42 |
EXCESS is chosen to be just greater than the shortfall seen in a |
43 |
two pass approach similar to the above. That shortfall is due to |
44 |
the last deflate block compressing more efficiently with a smaller |
45 |
header on the second pass. EXCESS is set to be large enough so |
46 |
that there is enough uncompressed data for the second pass to fill |
47 |
out the requested size, and small enough so that the final deflate |
48 |
block of the second pass will be close in size to the final deflate |
49 |
block of the third and final pass. MARGIN is chosen to be just |
50 |
large enough to assure that the final compression has enough room |
51 |
to complete in all cases. |
