[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 2/2] avcodec/flashsv: Avoid deflating data

Currently priming the zlib decompressor involves compressing
data directly after having decompressed it and decompressing
it again in order to set the "dictionary" and to initialize
the adler32-checksum. Yet this is wasteful and can be simplified
by synthetizing the compressed data via non-compressed blocks.

This reduced the amount of allocations for the decoding part
of fate-vsynth1-flashsv2, namely from
total heap usage: 9,135 allocs, 9,135 frees, 376,503,427 bytes allocated
to
total heap usage: 2,373 allocs, 2,373 frees, 14,144,083 bytes allocated

Unfortunately one can't simply use inflateSetDictionary() to set
the dictionary, as this does not initialize the adler32-checksum.
More precisely, the main adler32 does not cover the dictionary data;
so it would decode correctly, but one would get checksum errors.

Notice that I do not have a single flashsv2 file that has not been
created by our encoder and it might be that our encoder is wrong.
Looking at the mailing list archive showed lots of mails that complain
about the paucacity of samples.
The spec simply speaks of "the ZLIB priming technique of compression".
How very helpful.
