35
+ ## Architecture
36
+
37
+ ### Three-Layer API Design
38
+
39
+ 1. **High-Level API** (`LZ4Native` module in lib/lz4_native.rb):
40
+ - Simple convenience methods: `compress()`, `decompress()`, `compress_hc()`, etc.
41
+ - Ideal for most users
42
+ - Handles common use cases with sensible defaults
43
+
44
+ 2. **Mid-Level API** (C extension modules):
45
+ - `LZ4Native::LZ4` - Block compression/decompression
46
+ - `LZ4Native::LZ4HC` - High-compression variants
47
+ - `LZ4Native::LZ4Frame` - Self-contained frame format
48
+ - Direct mapping to LZ4 C API functions
49
+
50
+ 3. **Native C Extension** (ext/lz4_native/lz4_native.c):
51
+ - Implements Ruby bindings using Ruby C API
52
+ - Manages memory allocation and type conversions
53
+ - Provides error handling with custom exception classes
54
+ - Bundles and compiles LZ4 source code directly
55
+
56
+ ### Key Design Decisions
57
+
58
+ - **Bundled Source**: LZ4 C source files are included in ext/lz4_native/ and compiled as part of the extension, eliminating external dependencies
59
+ - **Safety First**: Uses `LZ4_decompress_safe()` rather than `LZ4_decompress_fast()` to protect against malicious data
60
+ - **Frame Format Support**: Complete implementation of LZ4 frame format for portable, self-contained compressed data
61
+ - **Error Handling**: Custom exception hierarchy (CompressionError, DecompressionError, FrameError) for precise error reporting
62
+
63
+ ## Development Commands
64
+
65
+ ### Building and Testing
66
+
67
+ ```bash
68
+ # Install dependencies
69
+ bundle install
70
+
71
+ # Compile the C extension
72
+ bundle exec rake compile
73
+
74
+ # Run all tests (39 tests across 3 test files)
75
+ bundle exec rake test
76
+
77
+ # Run specific test file
78
+ bundle exec ruby test/test_lz4_basic.rb
79
+
80
+ # Clean build artifacts
81
+ rm -rf tmp/ lib/lz4_native/*.so lib/lz4_native/*.bundle
82
+
83
+ # Build gem package
84
+ bundle exec rake build
85
+
86
+ # Install gem locally for testing
87
+ gem install --user-install pkg/lz4-native-ruby-1.0.1.gem
88
+ ```
89
+
90
+ ### Testing Individual Components
91
+
92
+ ```bash
93
+ # Test only basic LZ4 compression
94
+ bundle exec ruby -Ilib -Itest test/test_lz4_basic.rb
95
+
96
+ # Test only high-compression mode
97
+ bundle exec ruby -Ilib -Itest test/test_lz4hc.rb
98
+
99
+ # Test only frame format
100
+ bundle exec ruby -Ilib -Itest test/test_lz4frame.rb
101
+ ```
102
+
103
+ ## C Extension Development
104
+
105
+ ### Building the Extension
106
+
107
+ The extension uses `mkmf` for configuration and compilation:
108
+
109
+ 1. `extconf.rb` sets up include paths and compiler flags
110
+ 2. Explicitly lists source files to compile: `lz4_native.c`, `lz4.c`, `lz4hc.c`, `lz4frame.c`, `xxhash.c`
111
+ 3. Creates Makefile with optimizations (`-O3`) and warnings enabled
112
+
113
+ ### Adding New Bindings
114
+
115
+ When adding new LZ4 API functions to the C extension (ext/lz4_native/lz4_native.c):
116
+
117
+ 1. **Wrapper Function Pattern**:
118
+ ```c
119
+ static VALUE
120
+ lz4_function_wrapper(VALUE self, VALUE arg)
121
+ {
122
+ Check_Type(arg, T_STRING); // Validate Ruby argument types
123
+
124
+ const char* src = RSTRING_PTR(arg);
125
+ int src_size = (int)RSTRING_LEN(arg);
126
+
127
+ // Allocate output buffer
128
+ VALUE result = rb_str_buf_new(buffer_size);
129
+ char* dst = RSTRING_PTR(result);
130
+
131
+ // Call LZ4 C function
132
+ int ret = LZ4_function(src, dst, src_size, dst_capacity);
133
+
134
+ // Check for errors
135
+ if (ret < 0) {
136
+ rb_raise(eLZ4Error, "Function failed");
137
+ }
138
+
139
+ rb_str_set_len(result, ret);
140
+ return result;
141
+ }
142
+ ```
143
+
144
+ 2. **Register in Init_lz4_native()**:
145
+ ```c
146
+ rb_define_singleton_method(mLZ4, "function_name", lz4_function_wrapper, 1);
147
+ ```
148
+
149
+ 3. **Add Tests**: Create corresponding test cases in the appropriate test file
150
+
151
+ 4. **Update Documentation**: Add usage examples to README.md and method documentation
152
+
153
+ ### Memory Management
154
+
155
+ - Use `rb_str_buf_new()` for allocating string buffers
156
+ - Always call `rb_str_set_len()` after filling a buffer to set the correct length
157
+ - LZ4 library handles its own internal allocations
158
+ - No explicit cleanup needed for simple compress/decompress operations
159
+ - Streaming operations (not yet implemented) require create/free context pairs
160
+
161
+ ## Testing Strategy
162
+
163
+ The gem follows Test-Driven Development (TDD) principles with comprehensive coverage:
164
+
165
+ - **test_lz4_basic.rb** (14 tests): Core compression/decompression, version info, bounds checking
166
+ - **test_lz4hc.rb** (10 tests): High-compression modes, level variations, compression ratio comparisons
167
+ - **test_lz4frame.rb** (15 tests): Frame compression/decompression, option handling, error cases
168
+
169
+ All tests run in ~0.02 seconds with 86 assertions.
170
+
171
+ ### Test Coverage Includes
172
+
173
+ - Round-trip compression/decompression verification
174
+ - Multiple data sizes (small, medium, large)
175
+ - All compression levels (1-12 for HC)
176
+ - Frame format options (block sizes, checksums, block modes)
177
+ - Error conditions (corrupt data, insufficient buffers)
178
+ - High-level convenience API
179
+ - Constants and version information
180
+
181
+ ## LZ4 API Coverage
182
+
183
+ ### Implemented (Core Features)
184
+
185
+ **lz4.h (Block Compression)**:
186
+ - `LZ4_compress_default()` - Standard compression
187
+ - `LZ4_decompress_safe()` - Safe decompression
188
+ - `LZ4_compress_fast()` - Fast compression with acceleration
189
+ - `LZ4_compressBound()` - Calculate max compressed size
190
+ - `LZ4_versionNumber()`, `LZ4_versionString()` - Version info
191
+
192
+ **lz4hc.h (High Compression)**:
193
+ - `LZ4_compress_HC()` - High-compression mode with levels 1-12
194
+ - `LZ4_sizeofStateHC()` - State size information
195
+
196
+ **lz4frame.h (Frame Format)**:
197
+ - `LZ4F_compressFrame()` - Complete frame compression
198
+ - `LZ4F_decompress()` - Frame decompression
199
+ - `LZ4F_getVersion()` - Frame API version
200
+ - `LZ4F_compressionLevel_max()` - Max compression level
201
+ - Frame options: block sizes, block modes, checksums, compression levels
202
+
203
+ ### Not Yet Implemented (Advanced Features)
204
+
205
+ These APIs are available in the bundled LZ4 source but not yet exposed through Ruby bindings:
206
+
207
+ **Streaming Compression** (lz4.h):
208
+ - `LZ4_createStream()`, `LZ4_freeStream()`
209
+ - `LZ4_loadDict()`, `LZ4_compress_fast_continue()`
210
+ - `LZ4_saveDict()`, `LZ4_setStreamDecode()`
211
+
212
+ **Advanced HC** (lz4hc.h):
213
+ - `LZ4_createStreamHC()`, `LZ4_freeStreamHC()`
214
+ - `LZ4_compress_HC_continue()`, `LZ4_compress_HC_destSize()`
215
+ - `LZ4_loadDictHC()`, `LZ4_saveDictHC()`
216
+
217
+ **Advanced Frame** (lz4frame.h):
218
+ - `LZ4F_createCompressionContext()`, `LZ4F_freeCompressionContext()`
219
+ - `LZ4F_compressBegin()`, `LZ4F_compressUpdate()`, `LZ4F_compressEnd()`
220
+ - `LZ4F_createDecompressionContext()`, streaming decompression
221
+ - Dictionary support, custom memory allocation
222
+
223
+ To implement these, follow the wrapper pattern in ext/lz4_native/lz4_native.c, manage context structs using Ruby's `Data_Wrap_Struct`, and ensure proper cleanup with `Data_Get_Struct` and finalizers.
224
+
225
+ ## Common Development Tasks
226
+
227
+ ### Updating LZ4 Source Code
228
+
229
+ To update to a newer version of LZ4:
230
+
231
+ 1. Download new version from https://github.com/lz4/lz4
232
+ 2. Replace files in ext/lz4_native/: `lz4.c/h`, `lz4hc.c/h`, `lz4frame.c/h`, `xxhash.c/h`
233
+ 3. Run `bundle exec rake clean compile test` to verify compatibility
234
+ 4. Check for new API functions in headers and consider adding bindings
235
+ 5. Update version references in README.md
236
+
237
+ ### Debugging C Extension
238
+
239
+ ```bash
240
+ # Enable debug symbols
241
+ CFLAGS="-g -O0" bundle exec rake compile
242
+
243
+ # Use gdb with Ruby
244
+ gdb --args ruby test/test_lz4_basic.rb
245
+
246
+ # Common debugging checks
247
+ ruby -r./lib/lz4_native -e "puts LZ4Native::LZ4.version_string"
248
+ ruby -r./lib/lz4_native -e "p LZ4Native.compress('test').bytes"
249
+ ```
250
+
251
+ ### Performance Benchmarking
252
+
253
+ ```ruby
254
+ require 'lz4_native'
255
+ require 'benchmark'
256
+
257
+ data = "x" * 1_000_000
258
+
259
+ Benchmark.bm do |x|
260
+ x.report("compress:") { 100.times { LZ4Native.compress(data) } }
261
+ x.report("compress_hc:") { 100.times { LZ4Native.compress_hc(data, 9) } }
262
+
263
+ compressed = LZ4Native.compress(data)
264
+ x.report("decompress:") { 100.times { LZ4Native.decompress(compressed, 2_000_000) } }
265
+ end
266
+ ```
267
+
268
+ ## gem install Configuration
269
+
270
+ The gemspec is configured for publishing to rubygems.org:
271
+
272
+ - Name: `lz4-native-ruby`
273
+ - Homepage: https://github.com/jgreninger/lz4-native-ruby (update this URL if repository is published)
274
+ - Files included: lib/, ext/, test/, documentation files
275
+ - Extensions: `ext/lz4_native/extconf.rb` triggers native compilation
276
+ - Dependencies: None for runtime; rake, minitest, rake-compiler for development
277
+
278
+ Users install via: `gem install lz4-native-ruby`
279
+
280
+ ## Important Notes for Future Development
281
+
282
+ 1. **Thread Safety**: Current implementation is thread-safe for basic operations. Streaming operations will need careful design with proper locking if added.
283
+
284
+ 2. **Ruby GC Interaction**: String buffers are properly managed. If adding streaming with persistent state, use `Data_Wrap_Struct` with proper mark and free functions.
285
+
286
+ 3. **Error Handling**: Always use safe decompression functions. Never expose `LZ4_decompress_fast()` as it's vulnerable to malicious data.
287
+
288
+ 4. **Portability**: Build system uses mkmf which works across platforms. Test on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
289
+
290
+ 5. **Versioning**: Gem version (1.0.1) is independent of bundled LZ4 version (currently 1.10.0). Document both clearly.
291
+
292
+ 6. **Performance**: LZ4 is designed for speed (>500 MB/s compression, multiple GB/s decompression). Ruby overhead is minimal for reasonably sized buffers (>1KB).

32
+ ### Basic Compression
33
+
34
+ ```ruby
35
+ require 'lz4_native'
36
+
37
+ # Simple compression/decompression
38
+ data = "Hello, World!" * 1000
39
+ compressed = LZ4Native.compress(data)
40
+ decompressed = LZ4Native.decompress(compressed, data.bytesize * 2)
41
+ ```
42
+
43
+ ### High Compression Mode
44
+
45
+ ```ruby
46
+ # Better compression ratio, slower speed
47
+ compressed = LZ4Native.compress_hc(data, 9) # level 1-12, default 9
48
+ ```
49
+
50
+ ### Frame Compression (Recommended for File Storage)
51
+
52
+ ```ruby
53
+ # Frame format includes metadata and checksums
54
+ compressed_frame = LZ4Native.compress_frame(data,
55
+ block_size: :max256KB,
56
+ checksum: true,
57
+ compression_level: 9
58
+ )
59
+
60
+ decompressed = LZ4Native.decompress_frame(compressed_frame)
61
+ ```
62
+
63
+ ### Low-Level API
64
+
23
65
  ```ruby
24
- require 'lz4'
66
+ # Direct access to LZ4 functions
67
+ compressed = LZ4Native::LZ4.compress_default(data)
68
+ decompressed = LZ4Native::LZ4.decompress_safe(compressed, max_size)
25
69
 
26
- # Compress a file
27
- LZ4.compress_file('input.txt', 'output.lz4', compression_level: 9)
70
+ # High compression
71
+ compressed = LZ4Native::LZ4HC.compress(data, 12)
28
72
 
29
- # Decompress a file
30
- LZ4.decompress_file('output.lz4', 'decompressed.txt')
73
+ # Frame operations
74
+ frame = LZ4Native::LZ4Frame.compress_frame(data, options)
31
75
  ```
32
76
 
33
- ### Compression Levels
77
+ ## API Reference
34
78
 
35
- LZ4 supports compression levels from 1 to 12:
36
- - Level 1: Fastest compression
37
- - Level 9: Default (good balance)
38
- - Level 12: Best compression
79
+ ### LZ4Native (High-Level API)
80
+
81
+ - `LZ4Native.compress(data)` - Standard compression
82
+ - `LZ4Native.decompress(data, max_size)` - Standard decompression
83
+ - `LZ4Native.compress_hc(data, level=9)` - High compression
84
+ - `LZ4Native.compress_frame(data, options={})` - Frame compression
85
+ - `LZ4Native.decompress_frame(data)` - Frame decompression
86
+
87
+ ### LZ4Native::LZ4 (Block Compression)
88
+
89
+ - `compress_default(source)` - Default compression
90
+ - `decompress_safe(source, max_size)` - Safe decompression
91
+ - `compress_fast(source, acceleration)` - Fast compression with acceleration
92
+ - `compress_bound(input_size)` - Calculate max compressed size
93
+ - `version_number()` - Get library version number
94
+ - `version_string()` - Get library version string
95
+
96
+ ### LZ4Native::LZ4HC (High Compression)
97
+
98
+ - `compress(source, level=9)` - High compression (level 1-12)
99
+ - `sizeof_state()` - Get compression state size
100
+
101
+ ### LZ4Native::LZ4Frame (Frame Format)
102
+
103
+ - `compress_frame(source, options={})` - Compress to frame format
104
+ - `decompress_frame(source)` - Decompress frame
105
+ - `version()` - Get frame API version
106
+ - `compression_level_max()` - Get max compression level
107
+
108
+ Frame compression options:
109
+ - `:block_size` - `:max64KB`, `:max256KB`, `:max1MB`, `:max4MB`
110
+ - `:block_mode` - `:linked`, `:independent`
111
+ - `:checksum` - `true` or `false`
112
+ - `:compression_level` - 0-12
113
+
114
+ ## Performance
115
+
116
+ LZ4 is designed for speed:
117
+ - Compression: >500 MB/s per core
118
+ - Decompression: Multiple GB/s per core
119
+ - Extremely fast decoder suitable for real-time applications
