2017-09-05Improve zlib error messages and update test suite to fitJohn Högberg
OTP-14527
2017-09-05Replace the zlib driver with a NIFJohn Högberg
All operations will now yield appropriately, allowing them to be used freely in concurrent applications. This commit also deprecates the functions listed below, although they won't raise deprecation warnings until OTP 21: zlib:adler32 zlib:crc32 zlib:inflateChunk zlib:getBufSize zlib:setBufSize The behavior of throwing an error when a dictionary is required for decompression has also been deprecated.

This commit only changes the order of functions and does some other rearrangements to that the diff with the next commit will be easier to follow. No content or XML tags are changed.

* essen/zlib-windowbits: Update zlib:zwindowbits/0 type to accept 8 and -8 OTP-12564
2015-03-03Update zlib:zwindowbits/0 type to accept 8 and -8Loïc Hoguin
Commit 7e8f5a776cbfa376e03369d058a90c8dd9f217fc (importing R11B-3) updated zlib, which had changed what values it accepts for window bits from 9-15 to 8-15. From deflate.c: - windowBits < 9 || windowBits > 15 || level < 0 || level > 9 || - strategy < 0 || strategy > Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY) { + windowBits < 8 || windowBits > 15 || level < 0 || level > 9 || + strategy < 0 || strategy > Z_FIXED) { return Z_STREAM_ERROR; } + if (windowBits == 8) windowBits = 9; /* until 256-byte window bug fixed */ In inflate.c 8 was already an accepted value. This commit updates OTP to also accept the values 8 and -8.
2015-02-12Add zlib limited output buffer size functionalityСергей Прохоров
This functionality may be useful for compressed streams with high compression ratio (in case of gzip it may be up to x1000), when small amount of compressed data will produce large amount of uncompressed output. This may lead to DoS attacks, because server easily goes out of memory. Example of such high compression ratio stream: ``` dd if=/dev/zero of=sparse.bin bs=1MB count=100 # 100mb of zeroes gzip sparse.bin # 95kb sparse.bin.gz $ erl > {ok, Compressed} = file:read_file("sparse.bin.gz"), > 97082 = size(Compressed), > Uncompressed = zlib:gunzip(Compressed), > 100000000 = iolist_size(Uncompressed). ```

2011-09-02Update documentation and specifications of some of the zlib functionsHans Bolinder
The functions zlib:deflateSetDictionary/2 and zlib:inflateSetDictionary/2 accept iodata() as Dictionary. The functions zlib:crc32/2,3, zlib:adler32/2,3, zlib:compress/1, zlib:uncompress/1, zlib:zip/1, and zlib:unzip/1 accept iodata() as data.
2011-06-20Add more specs and typesHans Bolinder
An incorrect spec, rpc:yield/1, has been fixed.
