ALGORITHM
The “deflation” process depends on being able to identify portions of the input text which are
identical to earlier input (within a sliding window trailing behind the input currently being
processed).
The most straightforward technique turns out to be the fastest for most input files: try all
possible matches and select the longest.
The key feature of this algorithm is that insertions into the string dictionary are very simple and
thus fast, and deletions are avoided completely. Insertions are performed at each input
character, whereas string matches are performed only when the previous match ends. So it is
preferable to spend more time in matches to allow very fast string insertions and avoid
deletions. The matching algorithm for small strings is inspired from that of Rabin & Karp. A
brute force approach is used to find longer strings when a small match has been found.
A similar algorithm is used in comic (by Jan-Mark Wams) and freeze (by Leonid Broukhis).
A previous version of this file used a more sophisticated algorithm (by Fiala and Greene) which
is guaranteed to run in linear amortized time, but has a larger average cost, uses more memory
and is patented.
However the F&G algorithm may be faster for some highly redundant files if the parameter
maxChainLength (described below) is too large.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The idea of lazy evaluation of matches is due to Jan-Mark Wams, and I found it in 'freeze'
written by Leonid Broukhis.
Thanks to many people for bug reports and testing.
