NOTE: this patch is for _gzip_! This is pending for actual inclusion in gzip. It is currently being tried out in the default gzip for Debian Sarge, and may go into the upstream gzip at somepoint in the not-too-distant future. --- gzip-1.3.5/deflate.c 1999-10-07 23:46:28 -0700 +++ rsyncable/deflate.c 2005-02-05 09:40:33 -0800 @@ -122,6 +122,14 @@ #endif /* Matches of length 3 are discarded if their distance exceeds TOO_FAR */ +#ifndef RSYNC_WIN +# define RSYNC_WIN 4096 +#endif +/* Size of rsync window, must be < MAX_DIST */ + +#define RSYNC_SUM_MATCH(sum) ((sum) % RSYNC_WIN == 0) +/* Whether window sum matches magic value */ + /* =========================================================================== * Local data used by the "longest match" routines. */ @@ -203,6 +211,8 @@ unsigned near good_match; /* Use a faster search when the previous match is longer than this */ +local ulg rsync_sum; /* rolling sum of rsync window */ +local ulg rsync_chunk_end; /* next rsync sequence point */ /* Values for max_lazy_match, good_match and max_chain_length, depending on * the desired pack level (0..9).
