Test cases for lbzip2.                                          -*- outline -*-


* Compressor tests

** fib

   Check how compressor copes with a Fibonacci word on input. I think that
   Fibonacci word is the worst case for some BWT implementations.

** repet

   Check how compressor handles very repetitive data (a sequence of alternating
   two different characters). This seems to be the worst case for some bzip2
   implementations (like ant).


* Decompressor tests

** 32767

   Test if decompressor supports blocks with more than 18001 selectors
   (in particular 32767 selectors). Some implementations (p7zip, ant)
   choke on this.

** ch255

   Test how decompressor copes with a `zip bomb'.

** codelen20

   Check if decompressor correctly handles 20-bit prefix codes.

** concat

   Check whether decompressor supports concatenated bzip2 streams. Some
   implementations don't support that (including older versions of the
   original bzip2).

** crc1

   Determine whether decompressor checks block CRCs. Some old versions
   of yambi didn't check them.

** crc2

   Determine whether decompressor checks stream CRCs. Pre-2.0 versions
   of lbzip2 don't check stream CRC.

** cve

   Test if decompressor is vulnerable to CVE-2010-0405 (integer overflow
   in BZ2_decompress). Most decompressors based on bzip2-1.0.5 or earlier
   are vulnerable.

** empty

   Check if decompressor supports empty compressed files.

** gap

   Check if decompressor allows a gap consisting of garbage bytes between
   bzip2 streams. Pre-2.0 lbzip2 allows that.

** incomp-[12]

   Check if cyclic, non-randomized files are supported. See comments in
   `incomp' file for more infomation.

** overrun

   Check if decompressor correctly rejects blocks that overrun maximal block
   size declared in bzip2 header. Pre-2.0 lbzip2 bounded block sizes on a flat
   value of 900000, ignoring the information in stream header.

** rand

   Check if decompressor supports randomized blocks. Old yambi versions lacked
   that. Some implementations (eg. busybox) don't seem to care about
   randomized blocks at all.

** trash

   Check if decompressor ignores trailing garbage after bzip2 stream.

** void

   Check if decompressor treats empty bz2 files as empty streams.
