The comment said that the os is set to 255, when in fact it has
been set to the current os since zlib 1.2.3. Or at least our best
guess at the os made at compile time.
C2X has removed K&R definitions from the C function syntax.
Though the standard has not yet been approved, some high-profile
compilers are now issuing warnings when such definitions are
encountered.
Use the interleaved method of Kadatch and Jenkins in order to make
use of pipelined instructions through multiple ALUs in a single
core. This also speeds up and simplifies the combination of CRCs,
and updates the functions to pre-calculate and use an operator for
CRC combination.
When the same len2 is used repeatedly, it is faster to use
crc32_combine_gen() to generate an operator, that is then used to
combine CRCs with crc32_combine_op().
This commit allows a parameter change even if the input data has
not all been compressed and copied to the application output
buffer, so long as all of the input data has been compressed to
the internal pending output buffer. This also allows an immediate
deflateParams change so long as there have been no deflate calls
since initialization or reset.
This permits deflateParams to change the strategy and level right
after deflateInit, without having to wait until a header has been
written. The parameters can be changed immediately up until the
first deflate call that consumes any input data.
In some cases the return values did not match the documentation,
or the documentation did not document all of the return values.
gzprintf() now consistently returns negative values on error,
which matches the behavior of the stdio fprintf() function.
This alters the specification in zlib.h, so that deflateParams()
will not change any parameters if there is not enough output space
in the event that a block is emitted in order to allow switching
the compression function.
