zig-eris
Raisons d'être
This is an experiment into:
Usable from C and WASM
The Zig tooling allows building of libraries usable from C-land and WASM-land.
ERIS without allocations
The implementation does not do any dynamic allocations. All buffers need to be allocated before library initialization.
The trick is to pre-allocate a fixed number of levels which does not need to be large. With 3 levels we can encode 4MiB of data using block size 1KiB and 512GiB of data using block size large - enough for most practical purposes.
The number of levels is a Zig comptime, if needed a library with support for even larger content can be built.
This should make the core encoding performant.
