/*
 * This file contains a compressor for the LZX compression format, as used in
 * the WIM file format.
 *
 * Format
 * ======
 *
 * First, the primary reference for the LZX compression format is the
 * specification released by Microsoft.
 *
 * Second, the comments in lzx-decompress.c provide some more information about
 * the LZX compression format, including errors in the Microsoft specification.
 *
 * Do note that LZX shares many similarities with DEFLATE, the algorithm used by
 * zlib and gzip.  Both LZX and DEFLATE use LZ77 matching and Huffman coding,
 * and certain other details are quite similar, such as the method for storing
 * Huffman codes.  However, some of the main differences are:
 *
 * - LZX preprocesses the data to attempt to make x86 machine code slightly more
 *   compressible before attempting to compress it further.
 * - LZX uses a "main" alphabet which combines literals and matches, with the
 *   match symbols containing a "length header" (giving all or part of the match
 *   length) and a "position slot" (giving, roughly speaking, the order of
 *   magnitude of the match offset).
 * - LZX does not have static Huffman blocks; however it does have two types of
 *   dynamic Huffman blocks ("aligned offset" and "verbatim").
 * - LZX has a minimum match length of 2 rather than 3.
 * - In LZX, match offsets 0 through 2 actually represent entries in an LRU
 *   queue of match offsets.  This is very useful for certain types of files,
 *   such as binary files that have repeating records.
 *
 * Algorithms
 * ==========
 *
 * There are actually two distinct overall algorithms implemented here.  We
 * shall refer to them as the "slow" algorithm and the "fast" algorithm.  The
 * "slow" algorithm spends more time compressing to achieve a higher compression
 * ratio compared to the "fast" algorithm.  More details are presented below.
 *
 * Slow algorithm
 * --------------
 *
 * The "slow" algorithm to generate LZX-compressed data is roughly as follows:
 *
 * 1. Preprocess the input data to translate the targets of x86 call
 *    instructions to absolute offsets.
 *
 * 2. Build the suffix array and inverse suffix array for the input data.  The
 *    suffix array contains the indices of all suffixes of the input data,
 *    sorted lexcographically by the corresponding suffixes.  The "position" of
 *    a suffix is the index of that suffix in the original string, whereas the
 *    "rank" of a suffix is the index at which that suffix's position is found
 *    in the suffix array.
 *
 * 3. Build the longest common prefix array corresponding to the suffix array.
 *
 * 4. For each suffix, find the highest lower ranked suffix that has a lower
 *    position, the lowest higher ranked suffix that has a lower position, and
 *    the length of the common prefix shared between each.   This information is
 *    later used to link suffix ranks into a doubly-linked list for searching
 *    the suffix array.
 *
 * 5. Set a default cost model for matches/literals.
 *
 * 6. Determine the lowest cost sequence of LZ77 matches ((offset, length)
 *    pairs) and literal bytes to divide the input into.  Raw match-finding is
 *    done by searching the suffix array using a linked list to avoid
 *    considering any suffixes that start after the current position.  Each run
 *    of the match-finder returns the approximate lowest-cost longest match as
 *    well as any shorter matches that have even lower approximate costs.  Each
 *    such run also adds the suffix rank of the current position into the linked
 *    list being used to search the suffix array.  Parsing, or match-choosing,
 *    is solved as a minimum-cost path problem using a forward "optimal parsing"
 *    algorithm based on the Deflate encoder from 7-Zip.  This algorithm moves
 *    forward calculating the minimum cost to reach each byte until either a
 *    very long match is found or until a position is found at which no matches
 *    start or overlap.
 *
 * 7. Build the Huffman codes needed to output the matches/literals.
 *
 * 8. Up to a certain number of iterations, use the resulting Huffman codes to
 *    refine a cost model and go back to Step #6 to determine an improved
 *    sequence of matches and literals.
 *
 * 9. Output the resulting block using the match/literal sequences and the
 *    Huffman codes that were computed for the block.
 *
 * Note: the algorithm does not yet attempt to split the input into multiple LZX
 * blocks, instead using a series of blocks of LZX_DIV_BLOCK_SIZE bytes.
 *
 * Fast algorithm
 * --------------
 *
 * The fast algorithm (and the only one available in wimlib v1.5.1 and earlier)
 * spends much less time on the main bottlenecks of the compression process ---
 * that is, the match finding and match choosing.  Matches are found and chosen
 * with hash chains using a greedy parse with one position of look-ahead.  No
 * block splitting is done; only compressing the full input into an aligned
 * offset block is considered.
 *
 * API
 * ===
 *
 * The old API (retained for backward compatibility) consists of just one
 * function:
 *
 *      wimlib_lzx_compress()
 *
 * The new compressor has more potential parameters and needs more memory, so
 * the new API ties up memory allocations and compression parameters into a
 * context:
 *
 *      wimlib_lzx_alloc_context()
 *      wimlib_lzx_compress2()
 *      wimlib_lzx_free_context()
 *      wimlib_lzx_set_default_params()
 *
 * Both wimlib_lzx_compress() and wimlib_lzx_compress2() are designed to
 * compress an in-memory buffer of up to the window size, which can be any power
 * of two between 2^15 and 2^21 inclusively.  However, by default, the WIM
 * format uses 2^15, and this is seemingly the only value that is compatible
 * with WIMGAPI.  In any case, the window is not a true "sliding window" since
 * no data is ever "slid out" of the window.  This is needed for the WIM format,
 * which is designed such that chunks may be randomly accessed.
 *
 * Both wimlib_lzx_compress() and wimlib_lzx_compress2() return 0 if the data
 * could not be compressed to less than the size of the uncompressed data.
 * Again, this is suitable for the WIM format, which stores such data chunks
 * uncompressed.
 *
 * The functions in this LZX compression API are exported from the library,
 * although with the possible exception of wimlib_lzx_set_default_params(), this
 * is only in case other programs happen to have uses for it other than WIM
 * reading/writing as already handled through the rest of the library.

 * lzx_lz_get_near_optimal_match() -
 *
 * Choose the optimal match or literal to use at the next position in the input.
 *
 * Unlike a greedy parser that always takes the longest match, or even a
 * parser with one match/literal look-ahead like zlib, the algorithm used here
 * may look ahead many matches/literals to determine the optimal match/literal to
 * output next.  The motivation is that the compression ratio is improved if the
 * compressor can do things like use a shorter-than-possible match in order to
 * allow a longer match later, and also take into account the Huffman code cost
 * model rather than simply assuming that longer is better.
 *
 * Still, this is not truly an optimal parser because very long matches are
 * taken immediately, and the raw match-finder takes some shortcuts.  This is
 * done to avoid considering many different alternatives that are unlikely to
 * be significantly better.
 *
 * This algorithm is based on that used in 7-Zip's DEFLATE encoder.
 *
 * Each call to this function does one of two things:
 *
 * 1. Build a near-optimal sequence of matches/literals, up to some point, that
 *    will be returned by subsequent calls to this function, then return the
 *    first one.
 *
 * OR
 *
 * 2. Return the next match/literal previously computed by a call to this
 *    function;
 *
 * This function relies on the following state in the compressor context:
 *
 *      ctx->window          (read-only: preprocessed data being compressed)
 *      ctx->cost            (read-only: cost model to use)
 *      ctx->optimum         (internal state; leave uninitialized)
 *      ctx->optimum_cur_idx (must set to 0 before first call)
 *      ctx->optimum_end_idx (must set to 0 before first call)
 *
 *      Plus any state used by the raw match-finder.
 *
 * The return value is a (length, offset) pair specifying the match or literal
 * chosen.  For literals, the length is less than LZX_MIN_MATCH_LEN and the
 * offset is meaningless.
