A file containing a raw deflate // stream is provided on the command line. The compressed stream is decoded in // its entirety, and an index built with access points about every SPAN bytes // in the uncompressed output. The compressed file is left open, and can then // be read randomly, having to decompress on the average SPAN/2 uncompressed // bytes before getting to the desired block of data. // // An access point can be created at the start of any deflate block, by saving // the starting file offset and bit of that block, and the 32K bytes of // uncompressed data that precede that block. Also the uncompressed offset of // that block is saved to provide a reference for locating a desired starting // point in the uncompressed stream. deflate_index_build() decompresses the // input raw deflate stream a block at a time, and at the end of each block // decides if enough uncompressed data has gone by to justify the creation of a // new access point. If so, that point is saved in a data structure that grows // as needed to accommodate the points. // // To use the index, an offset in the uncompressed data is provided, for which // the latest access point at or preceding that offset is located in the index. // The input file is positioned to the specified location in the index, and if // necessary the first few bits of the compressed data is read from the file. // inflate is initialized with those bits and the 32K of uncompressed data, and // decompression then proceeds until the desired offset in the file is reached. // Then decompression continues to read the requested uncompressed data from // the file. // // There is some fair bit of overhead to starting inflation for the random // access, mainly copying the 32K byte dictionary. If small pieces of the file // are being accessed, it would make sense to implement a cache to hold some // lookahead to avoid many calls to deflate_index_extract() for small lengths. // // Another way to build an index would be to use inflateCopy(). That would not // be constrained to have access points at block boundaries, but would require // more memory per access point, and could not be saved to a file due to the // use of pointers in the state. The approach here allows for storage of the // index in a file. #include #include #include #include #include "zlib.h" #include "zran.h" #define WINSIZE 32768U // sliding window size #define CHUNK 16384 // file input buffer size // See comments in zran.h. void deflate_index_free(struct deflate_index *index) { if (index != NULL) { size_t i = index->have; while (i) free(index->list[--i].window); free(index->list); inflateEnd(&index->strm); free(index); } } // Add an access point to the list.
