This will allow us to treat NO_METHOD as a real compression method,
and to simplify code that currently does
if (compressing) {
compress
} else {
copy
}
This patch fixes the documentation string for `tor_uncompress()` to
ensure that it does not explicitly mention zlib or gzip since we now
support multiple compression backends.
The `tor_compress_state_t` data-type is used as a wrapper around the
more specialized state-types used by the various compression backends.
This patch ensures that the overhead of this "thin" wrapper type is
included in the value returned by `tor_compress_get_total_allocation()`.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/22066
Since we have a streaming API for each compression backend, we don't
need a non-streaming API for each: we can build a common
non-streaming API at the front-end.
This patch splits up `tor_compress_memory_level()` into static functions
in the individual compression backends, which allows us to tune the
values per compression backend rather than globally.

Use a switch-statement in `tor_compress()` and `tor_uncompress()` for
the given `compress_method_t` parameter. This allows us to have the
compiler detect if we forgot add a handler in these functions for a
newly added enumeration value.

This patch adds `tor_compress_version_str()` and
`tor_compress_header_version_str()` to get the version strings of the
different compression schema providers. Both functions returns `NULL` in
case a given `compress_method_t` is unknown or unsupported.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/21662
This patch adds support for checking if a given `compress_method_t` is
supported by the currently running Tor instance using
`tor_compress_supports_method()`.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/21662
This patch adds the `tor_compress_get_total_allocation()` which returns
an approximate number of bytes currently in use by all the different
compression backends.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/21662
This patch changes the way `tor_compress_new()`,
`tor_compress_process()`, and `tor_compress_free()` handles different
compression methods. This should give us compiler warnings in case an
additional compression method is added, but the developer forgets to add
handlers in the three aforementioned functions.
