/*
The compression algorithm implemented by CompressBytes and DecompressBytes is
optimized for "sparse" input data which contains a lot of zero bytes. Decompression
requires knowledge of the decompressed data length. Compression works as follows:
if data only contains zeroes,
CompressBytes(data) == nil
otherwise if len(data) <= 1,
CompressBytes(data) == data
otherwise:
CompressBytes(data) == append(CompressBytes(nonZeroBits(data)), nonZeroBytes(data)...)
where
nonZeroBits(data) is a bit vector with len(data) bits (MSB first):
nonZeroBits(data)[i/8] && (1 << (7-i%8)) != 0 if data[i] != 0
len(nonZeroBits(data)) == (len(data)+7)/8
nonZeroBytes(data) contains the non-zero bytes of data in the same order
*/
// CompressBytes compresses the input byte slice
func CompressBytes(data []byte) []byte {
if len(data) == 0 {
return nil
}
if len(data) == 1 {
if data[0] == 0 {
return nil
} else {
return data
}
}
bitsLen := (len(data) + 7) / 8
nonZeroBits := make([]byte, bitsLen)
nonZeroBytes := make([]byte, 0, len(data))
for i, b := range data {
if b != 0 {
nonZeroBytes = append(nonZeroBytes, b)
nonZeroBits[i/8] |= 1 << byte(7-i%8)
}
}
if len(nonZeroBytes) == 0 {
return nil
}
return append(CompressBytes(nonZeroBits), nonZeroBytes...)
}
// DecompressBytes decompresses data with a known target size.
// In addition to the decompressed output, the function returns the length of
// compressed input data corresponding to the output. The input slice may be longer.
// If the input slice is too short, (nil, -1) is returned.
