* Adding new cli endpoint --diff-from=
* Appveyor conversion nit
* Using bool set trick instead of direct set
* Removing --diff-from and only leaving --diff-from=#
* Throwing error when both dictFileName vars are set
* Clean up syntax
* Renaming diff-from to patch-from
* Revering comma separated syntax clean up
* Updating playtests with patch-from
* Uncommenting accidentally commented
* Updating remaining docs and var names to be patch-from instead of diff-from
* Constifying
* Using existing log2 function and removing newly created one
* Argument order (moving prefs to end)
* Using comma separated syntax
* Moving to outside #ifndef
The `--no-progress` flag disables zstd's progress bars, but leaves
the summary.
I've added simple tests to `playTests.sh` to make sure the parsing
works.
* 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
access negative compression levels from command line
for both compression and benchmark modes.
also : ensure proper propagation of parameters
through ZSTD_compress_generic() interface.
added relevant cli tests.
