2015-06-03ewah: use less generic macro nameLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+6
The ewah/ewok.h header pollutes the global namespace with "BITS_IN_WORD", without any specific notion that we are talking about the bits in an eword_t. We can give this the more specific name "BITS_IN_EWORD".

2015-06-03ewah/bitmap: silence warning about MASK macro redefinitionLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-8/+8
On PowerPC Mac OS X (10.5.8 "Leopard" with Xcode 3.1), system header /usr/include/ppc/param.h[1] pollutes the preprocessor namespace with a macro generically named MASK. This conflicts with the same-named macro in ewah/bitmap.c. We can avoid this conflict by using a more specific name.

2013-12-30ewah: compressed bitmap implementationLibravatar Vicent Marti1-0/+221
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>
