You need to encode data in *reverse* - last symbol first. rANS works // like a stack: last in, first out. // 2. Likewise, the encoder outputs bytes *in reverse* - that is, you give // it a pointer to the *end* of your buffer (exclusive), and it will // slowly move towards the beginning as more bytes are emitted. // 3. Unlike basically any other entropy coder implementation you might // have used, you can interleave data from multiple independent rANS // encoders into the same bytestream without any extra signaling; // you can also just write some bytes by yourself in the middle if // you want to. This is in addition to the usual arithmetic encoder // property of being able to switch models on the fly. Writing raw // bytes can be useful when you have some data that you know is // incompressible, and is cheaper than going through the rANS encode // function. Using multiple rANS coders on the same byte stream wastes // a few bytes compared to using just one, but execution of two // independent encoders can happen in parallel on superscalar and // Out-of-Order CPUs, so this can be *much* faster in tight decoding // loops. // // This is why all the rANS functions take the write pointer as an // argument instead of just storing it in some context struct. // -------------------------------------------------------------------------- // L ('l' in the paper) is the lower bound of our normalization interval. // Between this and our byte-aligned emission, we use 31 (not 32!) bits. // This is done intentionally because exact reciprocals for 31-bit uints // fit in 32-bit uints: this permits some optimizations during encoding. #define RANS_BYTE_L (1u << 23) // lower bound of our normalization interval // State for a rANS encoder.
