This patch makes the internal `get_memlevel()` a part of the public
compression API as `tor_compress_memory_level()`.
See https://bugs.torproject.org/21663
This patch refactors our streaming compression code to allow us to
extend it with non-zlib/non-gzip based compression schemas.
See https://bugs.torproject.org/21663
To allow us to use the API name `tor_compress` and `tor_uncompress` as
the main entry-point for all compression/uncompression and not just gzip
and zlib.
See https://bugs.torproject.org/21663
realloc()ing a thing in order to try to save memory on it just
doesn't make sense with today's allocators. Instead, let's use the
fact that whenever we decompress something, either it isn't too big,
or we chop it up, or we reallocate it.
zlib 1.2 came out in 2003; earlier versions should be dead by now.
Our workaround code was only preventing us from using the gzip
encoding (if we decide to do so), and having some dead code linger
around in torgzip.c
We add a compression level argument to tor_zlib_new, and use it to
determine how much memory to allocate for the zlib object. We use the
existing level by default, but shift to smaller levels for small
requests when we have been over 3/4 of our memory usage in the past
half-hour.
Closes ticket 11791.
Otherwise, when we're out of input *and* finalizing, we might report
TOR_ZLIB_OK erroneously and not finalize the buffer.
(I don't believe this can happen in practice, with our code today:
write_to_buf_zlib ensures that we are never trying to write into a
completely empty buffer, and zlib says "Z_OK" if you give it even
one byte to write into.)
Fixes bug 11824; bugfix on 0.1.1.23 (06e09cdd47).
We'll still need to tweak it so that it looks for includes and
libraries somewhere more sensible than "where we happened to find
them on Erinn's system"; so that tests and tools get built too;
so that it's a bit documented; and so that we actually try running
the output.
Work done with Erinn Clark.
Conflicts throughout. All resolved in favor of taking HEAD and
adding tor_mem* or fast_mem* ops as appropriate.

Here I looked at the results of the automated conversion and cleaned
them up as follows:
If there was a tor_memcmp or tor_memeq that was in fact "safe"[*] I
changed it to a fast_memcmp or fast_memeq.
Otherwise if there was a tor_memcmp that could turn into a
tor_memneq or tor_memeq, I converted it.
This wants close attention.
[*] I'm erring on the side of caution here, and leaving some things
as tor_memcmp that could in my opinion use the data-dependent
fast_memcmp variant.
This should make us conflict less with system files named "log.h".
Yes, we shouldn't have been conflicting with those anyway, but some
people's compilers act very oddly.
The actual change was done with one "git mv", by editing
Makefile.am, and running
find . -name '*.[ch]' | xargs perl -i -pe 'if (/^#include.*\Wlog.h/) {s/log.h/torlog.h/; }'
From the code:
zlib 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 do some "clever" things with macros. Instead of
saying "(defined(FOO) ? FOO : 0)" they like to say "FOO-0", on the theory
that nobody will care if the compile outputs a no-such-identifier warning.
Sorry, but we like -Werror over here, so I guess we need to define these.
I hope that zlib 1.2.6 doesn't break these too.
Possible fix for bug 1526.
Some *_free functions threw asserts when passed NULL. Now all of them
accept NULL as input and perform no action when called that way.
This gains us consistence for our free functions, and allows some
code simplifications where an explicit null check is no longer necessary.
