1//! Zstandard encoder — frame compression, streaming, dictionary support.
2//!
3//! Five entry points cover the common use cases:
4//!
5//! * [`compress`] — one-shot helper that builds a self-contained
6//!   Zstandard frame from a `Read` source to a `Write` sink. The
7//!   input is consumed incrementally from `Read`, so input buffering
8//!   stays bounded; however, the compressed output is buffered in
9//!   memory until the frame is complete so the Frame Content Size
10//!   field can be filled in the header — peak memory is
11//!   `O(compressed_size)` (worst-case `O(input_size)` for
12//!   incompressible payloads, plus a small frame overhead). The
13//!   savings vs [`compress_to_vec`] come from not materialising the
14//!   input alongside the output.
15//! * [`compress_to_vec`] — same one-shot path as [`compress`] but
16//!   the input is eagerly drained into an internal `Vec` first
17//!   (`read_to_end`) so the encoder can be handed a `&[u8]` and a
18//!   precise source-size hint. Peak memory is therefore ≈
19//!   `input_size + output_size`; prefer [`compress`] or
20//!   [`StreamingEncoder`] when the input is large or unbounded.
21//! * [`StreamingEncoder`] — implements [`crate::io::Write`], which
22//!   re-exports [`std::io::Write`] under the `std` feature and falls
23//!   back to a `no_std`-friendly trait otherwise. Accepts bytes
24//!   incrementally and flushes compressed output as blocks fill.
25//!   Requires `set_pledged_content_size` before the first write if
26//!   the Frame Content Size field is to be populated.
27//! * [`CompressionContext`] — the reusable state behind
28//!   [`StreamingEncoder`], with the output passed to each call: compresses
29//!   frame after frame with one set of settings, one attached dictionary and
30//!   one set of match-finder allocations, as upstream's `ZSTD_CCtx` does.
31//! * [`FrameCompressor`] — lower-level builder that owns the matcher and
32//!   the per-frame configuration; the streaming and one-shot helpers are
33//!   thin wrappers over it. Reach for it when you need to swap in a custom
34//!   [`Matcher`] implementation or share the matcher across frames.
35//!
36//! Compression intensity is selected via [`CompressionLevel`], which
37//! provides both named presets (`Fastest`, `Default`, `Better`, `Best`) and
38//! numeric levels (`from_level(n)`) that mirror C zstd's level numbering
39//! (negative for ultra-fast, `0` = default, `1..=22` for the standard
40//! range).
41//!
42//! All produced frames are valid RFC 8878 Zstandard streams and decode
43//! through both this crate's [`crate::decoding`] module and upstream C zstd.
44//!
45//! For memory budgeting, [`estimated_compression_workspace_bytes`] reports
46//! the approximate steady-state heap footprint of a one-shot compression at
47//! a given level (window + match-finder tables + block staging).

136/// Convenience function to compress some source into a Vec without reusing any resources of the compressor.
137///
138/// This helper eagerly buffers the full input (`Read`) before compression so it
139/// can provide a source-size hint to the one-shot encoder path. Peak memory can
140/// therefore be roughly `input_size + output_size`. For very large payloads or
141/// tighter memory budgets, prefer streaming APIs such as [`StreamingEncoder`].
142///
143/// **This is NOT a streaming API.** The source is fully buffered
144/// into a `Vec<u8>` before any compression work begins, so peak input
145/// memory is bounded by `source.len()` (not "constant regardless of
146/// payload size" as a stream-shaped encoder would offer). If the
147/// source is large enough that holding it in memory is not acceptable,
148/// use [`StreamingEncoder`] which consumes chunks incrementally
149/// without the up-front Vec build.
150///
151/// This helper drives `read_to_end` to materialize the full source
152/// into a `Vec<u8>` before forwarding the slice to
153/// [`compress_slice_to_vec`]. For a `Read` whose size is unknown ahead
154/// of time, `read_to_end` grows that input `Vec` via power-of-two
155/// doubling: peak input allocation can be up to 2× the final source
156/// length transiently. The live working set on this entry point is
157/// roughly `input.capacity()` plus the block-accumulation buffer and
158/// per-block scratch carried by [`compress_slice_to_vec`], plus the
159/// exactly-sized output `Vec`. [`StreamingEncoder`] avoids the input
160/// materialization step entirely and is the right entry point when
161/// the source is large or unbounded.
162///
163/// ```rust
164/// use structured_zstd::encoding::{compress_to_vec, CompressionLevel};
165/// let data: &[u8] = &[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0];
166/// let compressed = compress_to_vec(data, CompressionLevel::Fastest);
167/// ```
168pub fn compress_to_vec<R: Read>(source: R, level: CompressionLevel) -> Vec<u8> {
169    let mut source = source;
170    let mut input = Vec::new();
171    source.read_to_end(&mut input).unwrap();
172    compress_slice_to_vec(input.as_slice(), level)
173}
174
175/// Compress a contiguous byte slice into a fresh `Vec<u8>` without the
176/// input-buffering step that [`compress_to_vec`] performs to adapt a
177/// `Read` source.
178///
179/// One-shot wrapper over
180/// [`FrameCompressor::compress_independent_frame`]: the input is read by
181/// reference (the eligible Fast path scans it in place, no per-block
182/// history copy), and the returned `Vec` is allocated exactly once at the
183/// final frame size after compression. Peak transient memory is the
184/// block-accumulation buffer (grown via amortized doubling, ≈ 2× current
185/// compressed size at the last realloc) plus the exactly-sized output. The
186/// worst-case compressed-size bound is never pinned upfront, so a highly
187/// compressible 100 MiB input does not charge ~100 MiB of worst-case
188/// expansion against peak.
189///
190/// To compress many slices, construct one [`FrameCompressor`] and call
191/// [`compress_independent_frame_into`](FrameCompressor::compress_independent_frame_into)
192/// in a loop instead, which reuses the matcher tables, scratch, and output
193/// buffer across frames (this function allocates and primes from scratch
194/// each call).
195///
196/// # Panics
197///
198/// Panics on encoder error (matches the failure surface of
199/// [`compress_to_vec`], which this function backs). Out-of-memory during
200/// the output / per-block scratch allocations is handled by the global
201/// allocator's abort policy. The slice/Vec entry points mirror the upstream zstd
202/// `ZSTD_compress` shape (no error return on the bulk path).
203///
204/// ```rust
205/// use structured_zstd::encoding::{compress_slice_to_vec, CompressionLevel};
206/// let data: &[u8] = &[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0];
207/// let compressed = compress_slice_to_vec(data, CompressionLevel::Fastest);
208/// ```

210    // Bare `FrameCompressor` resolves all three type params to their
211    // defaults (`&'static [u8]` reader, `Vec<u8>` drain, MatchGeneratorDriver);

218/// Worst-case compressed-frame size for an input of `src_size` bytes.

220/// A destination buffer of this size is always large enough to hold the
221/// output of [`compress_slice_to_vec`] (or any single-frame compression) for
222/// an input of `src_size` bytes, so a caller sizing a fixed buffer once (the
223/// shape the C `ZSTD_compress` entry point needs) never has to grow it.
224///
225/// Mirrors the upstream `ZSTD_COMPRESSBOUND` formula exactly:
226/// `src_size + (src_size >> 8) + margin`, where `margin` is
227/// `(128 KiB - src_size) >> 11` for inputs below 128 KiB and `0` otherwise.
228/// The margin guarantees `bound(a) + bound(b) <= bound(a + b)` for blocks of
229/// at least 128 KiB, which keeps multi-frame concatenation sizing sound.
230///
231/// Saturates at [`usize::MAX`] if the formula would overflow on a

451/// Trait used by the encoder that users can use to extend the matching facilities with their own algorithm
452/// making their own tradeoffs between runtime, memory usage and compression ratio
453///
454/// The matcher owns the input: the encoder reads the data to be compressed
455/// straight into the matcher's [`HistoryBuf`] through
456/// [`fill_in_place`](Self::fill_in_place), where it waits, uncommitted, until
457/// the encoder has chosen where the next block ends. The encoder then claims
458/// the block with [`commit_filled`](Self::commit_filled) and either calls
459/// `start_matching` or, if the block is deemed not worth compressing,
460/// `skip_matching`. Bytes left uncommitted head the next block.
461///
462/// This is repeated until no more data is left to be compressed.
