- /*
- 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

- len: number of bits in the codes currently being assigned
- Those indices are constrained thusly when saving results:

- 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

- element is simply one bit indicating whether the state has been visited or

- 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[]
