Jeff King	6b5b3a27b7	ewah: unconditionally ntohll ewah data Commit `a201c20` tried to optimize out a loop like: for (i = 0; i < len; i++) data[i] = ntohll(data[i]); in the big-endian case, because we know that ntohll is a noop, and we do not need to pay the cost of the loop at all. However, it mistakenly assumed that __BYTE_ORDER was always defined, whereas it may not be on systems which do not define it by default, and where we did not need to define it to set up the ntohll macro. This includes OS X and Windows. We could muck with the ordering in compat/bswap.h to make sure it is defined unconditionally, but it is simpler to still to just execute the loop unconditionally. That avoids the application code knowing anything about these magic macros, and lets it depend only on having ntohll defined. And since the resulting loop looks like (on a big-endian system): for (i = 0; i < len; i++) data[i] = data[i]; any decent compiler can probably optimize it out.

Vicent Marti	a201c20b41	ewah: support platforms that require aligned reads The caller may hand us an unaligned buffer (e.g., because it is an mmap of a file with many ewah bitmaps). On some platforms (like SPARC) this can cause a bus error. We can fix it with a combination of get_be32 and moving the data into an aligned buffer (which we would do anyway, but we can move it before fixing the endianness).

Vicent Marti	e1273106f6	ewah: compressed bitmap implementation EWAH is a word-aligned compressed variant of a bitset (i.e. a data structure that acts as a 0-indexed boolean array for many entries). It uses a 64-bit run-length encoding (RLE) compression scheme, trading some compression for better processing speed. The goal of this word-aligned implementation is not to achieve the best compression, but rather to improve query processing time. As it stands right now, this EWAH implementation will always be more efficient storage-wise than its uncompressed alternative. EWAH arrays will be used as the on-disk format to store reachability bitmaps for all objects in a repository while keeping reasonable sizes, in the same way that JGit does. This EWAH implementation is a mostly straightforward port of the original `javaewah` library that JGit currently uses. The library is self-contained and has been embedded whole (4 files) inside the `ewah` folder to ease redistribution. The library is re-licensed under the GPLv2 with the permission of Daniel Lemire, the original author. The source code for the C version can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/vmg/libewok The original Java implementation can also be found on GitHub: https://github.com/lemire/javaewah [jc: stripped debug-only code per Peff's $gmane/239768] Signed-off-by: Vicent Marti <tanoku@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Helped-by: Ramsay Jones <ramsay@ramsay1.demon.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	11 years ago
