	When buffer_grow changes the size of the buffer using realloc, it first computes and saves the rlw pointer's offset into the buffer using (uint8_t ) math before the realloc but then restores it using (eword_t ) math. In order to do this it's necessary to convert the (uint8_t ) offset into an (eword_t ) offset. It was doing this by dividing by the sizeof(size_t). Unfortunately sizeof(size_t) is not same as sizeof(eword_t) on all platforms. This causes illegal memory accesses and other bad things to happen when attempting to use bitmaps on those platforms. Fix this by dividing by the sizeof(eword_t) instead which will always be correct for all platforms. Signed-off-by: Kyle J.

2013-12-30	ewah: compressed bitmap implementation	Vicent Marti	1	-0/+714
	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>
