From 7b8787f3ce8802cf488b0e586407770ff93692fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Karpeles Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 03:51:41 +0900 Subject: [PATCH 01/13] bzip2: port reference BZ2_hbMakeCodeLengths (depth-aware, 17-bit cap) Replace the textbook frequency-only Huffman length builder with a faithful port of bzip2's BZ2_hbMakeCodeLengths. The reference packs subtree depth into the low 8 bits of each heap key so equal-frequency merges prefer the shallower subtree, reproducing bzip2's exact per-table bit costs. Design length is capped at 17 bits (bzip2's limit since 1.0.3); over-long codes trigger frequency halving and retry. The decode side still accepts up to 20 bits for pre-1.0.3 compatibility.

Our encoder capped raw input, producing more (smaller) blocks than bzip2 -9 (4 vs 3 on the corpus) and paying extra block + BWT-context overhead. Add a streaming Rle1Encoder that the block-builder feeds raw bytes through, cutting a block once the tracked post-RLE-1 length reaches the cap. The raw buffer is still retained for the block CRC and the in-block RLE-1 re-run. This closes the remaining gap to bzip2 -9 and makes our level-6/9 output bit-identical to the reference. Tests: streaming-RLE1 vs one-shot equivalence (incl. 255-cap and run-straddling), encoded_len tracking, large compressible multi-block round-trip, and a low-level forced-multi-block round-trip.

Search depth scales with the level. The fast greedy single-hash parse is preserved for low levels (LZ4's speed crown). `encode_block_level(input, out, level)` dispatches: level < 3 uses the fast path, level >= 3 uses HC. Wire the level knob through both block (`Lz4`) and frame (`LZ4Frame`) EncoderConfig and `factory::encoder_by_name_with_level`, so `-l 9` now actually engages HC. The bitstream is unchanged — only the parse improves, so existing decoders (ours and the reference `lz4` tool) read it unchanged. On the 2.9 MB corpus the block stream drops from 1214053 (fast) to ~933986 bytes at level 12 (ratio vs `lz4 -9` 796072: 1.53 -> 1.17).

From 762ea9aa2dc62ac9494476c42de0832d62f9110a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Karpeles Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 04:04:52 +0900 Subject: [PATCH 05/13] lz4: price-based optimal parse for top levels + fix EOB conformance Add a forward dynamic-programming optimal parse used at levels >= 10. It minimises the encoded byte cost: price[i] is the cheapest way to reach position i via a marginal-priced literal step (tracking the run length so the run-length token overflow is charged exactly) or any hash-chain match (token + offset + match-length-extension cost). Backtracking recovers the cheapest path. Long matches (>= OPT_SUFFICIENT_LEN) are taken greedily and the interior is skipped, keeping highly-repetitive inputs near-linear (an all-'a' 2 MB block drops from 72 s to 0.01 s). Also fix a latent conformance bug in the FAST greedy parse: its inner probe loop was bounded by hash_limit (len - 4 - 5) rather than match_limit (len - MFLIMIT), so it could emit a match *starting* inside the final 12 bytes of a block. Such blocks round-trip through our (lenient) decoder but are rejected by the strict reference `lz4` decoder. Bounding the probe at match_limit makes every emitted block spec-conformant. A new test walks the emitted bitstream and asserts the end-of-block rules at all levels. With this fix the whole 2.9 MB corpus now cross-decodes through the system `lz4 -d` at every level (0..12), not just the HC levels.

On inputs larger than 64 KiB the optimal parse always wins overall, so the second greedy pass is pure waste.

On the 2.9 MB source-code corpus every block hit this path, so ~180 KB of literals were stored uncompressed. Add `encode_huff_tree_fse`, the encoder counterpart to the decoder's existing `decode_fse_weights`: it normalises the weight histogram (alphabet 0..=11, accuracy_log ≤ 6), serialises an FSE table header, and writes the two interleaved FSE weight streams backwards so the forward decoder replays them in order. The literals builder now serialises the tree as the smaller of the direct and FSE encodings, and only bails when neither fits. Spec-compliant (system `zstd -d` decodes our frames byte-for-byte) and round-trips through our own decoder. Corpus at max level: 731606 -> 686651.

On the source corpus the offset extra bits are the single largest part of the output (~288 KB of a ~550 KB sequence section), so a repeat match that is a few bytes shorter than the best fresh match is often the cheaper encoding. `best_at` previously took any fresh match strictly longer than the repeat candidate. It now requires the fresh match to beat the repeat by a distance-dependent byte margin (~2*log2(D)/6) before displacing it, keeping the repeat when the fresh match's extra offset bits wouldn't pay for the few bytes of extra length.

Previously a single literal tree (NTREESL=1) was always used. - Cost-aware match selection (find_match_cost): at quality >= 4 the finder maximises an approximate bit gain (len*V - log2(dist)) instead of raw length, preferring closer/cheaper-distance matches. Distance coding is ~58% of our output, so this directly attacks distance extra bits. - Repeat-distance preference: the LZ77 walk carries a local distance ring (kept in lockstep with plan_commands) and prefers matches reachable at a recent ring distance, which encode as a cheap short code. On the 2.9 MB corpus, q11: 716306 -> 707558 bytes (ratio vs `brotli -q11` 480480 improves 1.491 -> 1.473). Honest limit: the remaining gap to q11 is the optimal (zopfli-style) parse, which greedy match selection cannot close — most matches here are at genuinely distinct far distances.
