/*
|
|
Examine all possible Huffman codes for a given number of symbols and a
|
|
maximum code length in bits to determine the maximum table size for zilb's
|
|
inflate. Only complete Huffman codes are counted.
|
|
|
|
Two codes are considered distinct if the vectors of the number of codes per
|
|
length are not identical. So permutations of the symbol assignments result
|
|
in the same code for the counting, as do permutations of the assignments of
|
|
the bit values to the codes (i.e. only canonical codes are counted).
|
|
|
|
We build a code from shorter to longer lengths, determining how many symbols
|
|
are coded at each length. At each step, we have how many symbols remain to
|
|
be coded, what the last code length used was, and how many bit patterns of
|
|
that length remain unused. Then we add one to the code length and double the
|
|
number of unused patterns to graduate to the next code length. We then
|
|
assign all portions of the remaining symbols to that code length that
|
|
preserve the properties of a correct and eventually complete code. Those
|
|
properties are: we cannot use more bit patterns than are available; and when
|
|
all the symbols are used, there are exactly zero possible bit patterns
|
|
remaining.
|
|
|
|
The inflate Huffman decoding algorithm uses two-level lookup tables for
|
|
speed. There is a single first-level table to decode codes up to root bits
|
|
in length (root == 9 in the current inflate implementation). The table
|
|
has 1 << root entries and is indexed by the next root bits of input. Codes
|
|
shorter than root bits have replicated table entries, so that the correct
|
|
entry is pointed to regardless of the bits that follow the short code. If
|
|
the code is longer than root bits, then the table entry points to a second-
|
|
level table. The size of that table is determined by the longest code with
|
|
that root-bit prefix. If that longest code has length len, then the table
|
|
has size 1 << (len - root), to index the remaining bits in that set of
|
|
codes. Each subsequent root-bit prefix then has its own sub-table. The
|
|
total number of table entries required by the code is calculated
|
|
incrementally as the number of codes at each bit length is populated. When
|
|
all of the codes are shorter than root bits, then root is reduced to the
|
|
longest code length, resulting in a single, smaller, one-level table.
|
|
|
|
The inflate algorithm also provides for small values of root (relative to
|
|
the log2 of the number of symbols), where the shortest code has more bits
|
|
than root. In that case, root is increased to the length of the shortest
|
|
code. This program, by design, does not handle that case, so it is verified
|
|
that the number of symbols is less than 2^(root + 1).
|
|
|
|
In order to speed up the examination (by about ten orders of magnitude for
|
|
the default arguments), the intermediate states in the build-up of a code
|
|
are remembered and previously visited branches are pruned. The memory
|
|
required for this will increase rapidly with the total number of symbols and
|
|
the maximum code length in bits. However this is a very small price to pay
|
|
for the vast speedup.
|
|
|
|
First, all of the possible Huffman codes are counted, and reachable
|
|
intermediate states are noted by a non-zero count in a saved-results array.
|
|
Second, the intermediate states that lead to (root + 1) bit or longer codes
|
|
are used to look at all sub-codes from those junctures for their inflate
|
|
memory usage. (The amount of memory used is not affected by the number of
|
|
codes of root bits or less in length.) Third, the visited states in the
|
|
construction of those sub-codes and the associated calculation of the table
|
|
size is recalled in order to avoid recalculating from the same juncture.
|
|
Beginning the code examination at (root + 1) bit codes, which is enabled by
|
|
identifying the reachable nodes, accounts for about six of the orders of
|
|
magnitude of improvement for the default arguments. About another four
|
|
orders of magnitude come from not revisiting previous states. Out of
|
|
approximately 2x10^16 possible Huffman codes, only about 2x10^6 sub-codes
|
|
need to be examined to cover all of the possible table memory usage cases
|
|
for the default arguments of 286 symbols limited to 15-bit codes.
|
|
|
|
Note that an unsigned long long type is used for counting. It is quite easy
|
|
to exceed the capacity of an eight-byte integer with a large number of
|
|
symbols and a large maximum code length, so multiple-precision arithmetic
|
|
would need to replace the unsigned long long arithmetic in that case. This
|
|
program will abort if an overflow occurs. The big_t type identifies where
|
|
the counting takes place.
|
|
|
|
An unsigned long long type is also used for calculating the number of
|
|
possible codes remaining at the maximum length. This limits the maximum
|
|
code length to the number of bits in a long long minus the number of bits
|
|
needed to represent the symbols in a flat code. The code_t type identifies
|
|
where the bit pattern counting takes place.

/* The array for saving results, num[], is indexed with this triplet:
|
|

|
syms: number of symbols remaining to code
|
|
left: number of available bit patterns at length len
|
|
len: number of bits in the codes currently being assigned
|
|
|
|
Those indices are constrained thusly when saving results:
|
|
|
|
syms: 3..totsym (totsym == total symbols to code)
|
|
left: 2..syms - 1, but only the evens (so syms == 8 -> 2, 4, 6)
|
|
len: 1..max - 1 (max == maximum code length in bits)
|
|
|
|
syms == 2 is not saved since that immediately leads to a single code. left
|
|
must be even, since it represents the number of available bit patterns at
|
|
the current length, which is double the number at the previous length.
|
|
left ends at syms-1 since left == syms immediately results in a single code.
|
|
(left > sym is not allowed since that would result in an incomplete code.)
|
|
len is less than max, since the code completes immediately when len == max.
|
|
|
|
The offset into the array is calculated for the three indices with the
|
|
first one (syms) being outermost, and the last one (len) being innermost.
|
|
We build the array with length max-1 lists for the len index, with syms-3
|
|
of those for each symbol. There are totsym-2 of those, with each one
|
|
varying in length as a function of sym. See the calculation of index in
|
|
count() for the index, and the calculation of size in main() for the size
|
|
of the array.
|
|
|
|
For the deflate example of 286 symbols limited to 15-bit codes, the array
|
|
has 284,284 entries, taking up 2.17 MB for an 8-byte big_t. More than
|
|
half of the space allocated for saved results is actually used -- not all
|
|
possible triplets are reached in the generation of valid Huffman codes.

|
|
|
|
/* The array for tracking visited states, done[], is itself indexed identically
|
|
to the num[] array as described above for the (syms, left, len) triplet.
|
|
Each element in the array is further indexed by the (mem, rem) doublet,
|
|
where mem is the amount of inflate table space used so far, and rem is the
|
|
remaining unused entries in the current inflate sub-table. Each indexed
|
|
element is simply one bit indicating whether the state has been visited or
|
|
not. Since the ranges for mem and rem are not known a priori, each bit
|
|
vector is of a variable size, and grows as needed to accommodate the visited
|
|
states. mem and rem are used to calculate a single index in a triangular
|
|
array. Since the range of mem is expected in the default case to be about
|
|
ten times larger than the range of rem, the array is skewed to reduce the
|
|
memory usage, with eight times the range for mem than for rem. See the
|
|
calculations for offset and bit in beenhere() for the details.
|
|
|
|
For the deflate example of 286 symbols limited to 15-bit codes, the bit
|
|
vectors grow to total approximately 21 MB, in addition to the 4.3 MB done[]
|
|
array itself.
