54 /// \brief Type of probabilities used with range coder
56 /// This needs to be at least 12-bit integer, so uint16_t is a logical choice.
57 /// However, on some architecture and compiler combinations, a bigger type
58 /// may give better speed, because the probability variables are accessed
59 /// a lot. On the other hand, bigger probability type increases cache
60 /// footprint, since there are 2 to 14 thousand probability variables in
61 /// LZMA (assuming the limit of lc + lp <= 4; with lc + lp <= 12 there
62 /// would be about 1.5 million variables).
64 /// With malicious files, the initialization speed of the LZMA decoder can
65 /// become important. In that case, smaller probability variables mean that
66 /// there is less bytes to write to RAM, which makes initialization faster.
67 /// With big probability type, the initialization can become so slow that it
68 /// can be a problem e.g. for email servers doing virus scanning.
70 /// I will be sticking to uint16_t unless some specific architectures
71 /// are *much* faster (20-50 %) with uint32_t.
