How about fasm LZMA (e.g. 7-Zip) sources? ))
LZ too. All LZ* sources - let put they here )) |

what for?
there are still working versions of fasm archives, i don't see why to make it in another way |

there, yes, very interresting, it is a code we all need to devellop enormous applications.
a good thing would be to build a macro that will compress the code during compilation, but too hard or impossible to do i presume. |

This macro generates optimal huffman codes:
(not good compression compared to LZ*) Code: @inproceedings{mk95:wads, author = "A. Moffat and J. Katajainen", title = "In-place calculation of minimum-redundancy codes", booktitle = "Proc. Workshop on Algorithms and Data Structures", address = "Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario", publisher = "LNCS 955, Springer-Verlag", Month = aug, year = 1995, editor = "S.G. Akl and F. Dehne and J.-R. Sack", pages = "393-402", }

I haven't tested your macros carefully, but I think that there is a small typographic error: you use 'tre' label, but it isn't defined. I suppose that there should be 'tree' (which is defined). Hmm... there was one man of genius called Leonardo da Vinci, which intentionally inserted some faulty or incorrect informations in his projects because he wanted to "encrypt" them... ![]() ![]() |

MHajduk, that's a label from the decompressor. The macro generates correct huffman codes, but does not apply them or build the suffix tree. PRESSME is a macro of code/data to compress. It is most certainly incomplete.

Porting LZMA to fasm sounds like a good idea. I'd have a go myself, if I could understand the SDK.

What's the point of re-writing the LZMA SDK in fasm? It would be a maintenance nightmare, if you wanted to keep up with updates (but OK, they're very infrequent these days, so it's at least doable, even if silly).
The sane thing to do would be writing some include files for interfacing with the LZMA SDK libraries, and simply link against those. But the LZMA SDK is a pretty mangled piece of work, hard to "dive into", and a good example of you shouldn't do C++ code ![]() |

There is no reason to have to keep up with the LZMA-SDK. Once it is written in ASM then why do you need to follow the updates, just go your own way and do whatever.
Plus there is the intangible benefit of learning when writing and debugging it. I can recall my time writing a ZIP compressor/expander. It was, of course, not needed to be done, but there is no substitute for the understanding and knowledge I gained, not just with the algos involved, but also the extra things like performance and interfacing etc. |

Of course the the learning experience can be valuable, but it sounded like the original purpose was reimplenting the algorithms in fasm just for the sake of reimplementing them - which is a waste of time. But I do remember I had that same idea around 8+ years ago, code simply wasn't good enough if it wasn't omfgassembly ![]() |

If we valued software by global time in use then LZMA might be high on the list of software to optimize? For example, if every hour of computer use equates to 77 seconds of LZMA runtime then we should get a team of 77 people to optimize the hell out of it, lol.
I doubt it's high on the list though. Hopefully, everyone can see the implications for open source here. It'd be nice it there was a global list of software use. So, people that wanted to optimize software or even algorithms could approach it from a this perspective of global benefit. _________________ ¯\(°_o)/¯ “languages are not safe - uses can be” Bjarne Stroustrup |

Как я понял, ты уже что-то сделал и хочешь здесь выложить результаты своей работы? Всем форумчанам будет интересно посмотреть исходники LZMA на FASM.
