395 // The compressed format and the decode algorithm:
397 // The compressed string is a series of blocks, almost all of which are 8 bytes
398 // in length. The only exception is the last block in the compressed string,
399 // which may be a remainder block, which has length no greater than 7. The
400 // full-length blocks are either repeated character blocks or plain data blocks.
401 // All blocks are entirely self-contained. Their decoded values are independent
402 // from that of their neighbours.
404 // A repeated character block is encoded into eight bytes and represents between
405 // 4 and 2^31 repeated instances of a given character in the unencoded stream.
406 // The encoding consists of a single character repeated four times, followed by
407 // an encoded count. The encoded count is stored as a big-endian 32 bit
408 // integer. There are 2^31 possible count values, and two encodings for each.
409 // The high encoding is 'enc = kuint32max - count'; the low encoding is 'enc =
410 // count'. At compression time, the algorithm will choose between the two
411 // encodings based on which of the two will maintain the appropriate sort
412 // ordering (by a process which will be described below). The decompression
413 // algorithm need not concern itself with which encoding was used; it needs only
414 // to decode it. The decoded value of this block is "count" instances of the
415 // character that was repeated four times in the first half of this block.
417 // A plain data block is encoded into eight bytes and represents exactly eight
418 // bytes of data in the unencoded stream. The plain data block must not begin
419 // with the same character repeated four times. It is allowed to contain such a
420 // four-character sequence, just not at the start of the block. The decoded
421 // value of a plain data block is identical to its encoded value.
423 // A remainder block has length of at most seven. It is a shorter version of
424 // the plain data block. It occurs only at the end of the encoded stream and
425 // represents exactly as many bytes of unencoded data as its own length. Like a
426 // plain data block, the remainder block never begins with the same character
427 // repeated four times. The decoded value of this block is identical to its
428 // encoded value.
430 // The encode algorithm:
432 // From the above description, it can be seen that there may be more than one
433 // way to encode a given input string. The encoder must be careful to choose
434 // the encoding that guarantees sort ordering.
436 // The rules for the encoder are as follows:
437 // 1. Iterate through the input string and produce output blocks one at a time.
438 // 2. Where possible (ie. where the next four bytes of input consist of the
439 // same character repeated four times), produce a repeated data block of
440 // maximum possible length.
441 // 3. If there is at least 8 bytes of data remaining and it is not possible
442 // to produce a repeated character block, produce a plain data block.
443 // 4. If there are less than 8 bytes of data remaining and it is not possible
444 // to produce a repeated character block, produce a remainder block.
445 // 5. When producing a repeated character block, the count encoding must be
446 // chosen in such a way that the sort ordering is maintained. The choice is
447 // best illustrated by way of example:
449 // When comparing two strings, the first of which begins with of 8
450 // instances of the letter 'B' and the second with 10 instances of the
451 // letter 'B', which of the two should compare lower? The result depends
452 // on the 9th character of the first string, since it will be compared
453 // against the 9th 'B' in the second string. If that character is an 'A',
454 // then the first string will compare lower. If it is a 'C', then the
455 // first string will compare higher.
457 // The key insight is that the comparison value of a repeated character block
458 // depends on the value of the character that follows it. If the character
459 // follows the repeated character has a value greater than the repeated
460 // character itself, then a shorter run length should translate to a higher
461 // comparison value. Therefore, we encode its count using the low encoding.
