+/* ********************* BLOCK-LEVEL SEQUENCE PRODUCER API *********************
+ *
+ * *** OVERVIEW ***
+ * The Block-Level Sequence Producer API allows users to provide their own custom
+ * sequence producer which libzstd invokes to process each block. The produced list
+ * of sequences (literals and matches) is then post-processed by libzstd to produce
+ * valid compressed blocks.
+ *
+ * This block-level offload API is a more granular complement of the existing
+ * frame-level offload API compressSequences() (introduced in v1.5.1). It offers
+ * an easier migration story for applications already integrated with libzstd: the
+ * user application continues to invoke the same compression functions
+ * ZSTD_compress2() or ZSTD_compressStream2() as usual, and transparently benefits
+ * from the specific advantages of the external sequence producer. For example,
+ * the sequence producer could be tuned to take advantage of known characteristics
+ * of the input, to offer better speed / ratio, or could leverage hardware
+ * acceleration not available within libzstd itself.
+ *
+ * See contrib/externalSequenceProducer for an example program employing the
+ * Block-Level Sequence Producer API.
+ *
+ * *** USAGE ***
+ * The user is responsible for implementing a function of type
+ * ZSTD_sequenceProducer_F. For each block, zstd will pass the following
+ * arguments to the user-provided function:
+ *
+ *   - sequenceProducerState: a pointer to a user-managed state for the sequence
+ *     producer.
+ *
+ *   - outSeqs, outSeqsCapacity: an output buffer for the sequence producer.
+ *     outSeqsCapacity is guaranteed >= ZSTD_sequenceBound(srcSize). The memory
+ *     backing outSeqs is managed by the CCtx.
+ *
+ *   - src, srcSize: an input buffer for the sequence producer to parse.
+ *     srcSize is guaranteed to be <= ZSTD_BLOCKSIZE_MAX.
+ *
+ *   - dict, dictSize: a history buffer, which may be empty, which the sequence
+ *     producer may reference as it parses the src buffer. Currently, zstd will
+ *     always pass dictSize == 0 into external sequence producers, but this will
+ *     change in the future.
+ *
+ *   - compressionLevel: a signed integer representing the zstd compression level
+ *     set by the user for the current operation. The sequence producer may choose
+ *     to use this information to change its compression strategy and speed/ratio
+ *     tradeoff. Note: the compression level does not reflect zstd parameters set
+ *     through the advanced API.
+ *
+ *   - windowSize: a size_t representing the maximum allowed offset for external
+ *     sequences. Note that sequence offsets are sometimes allowed to exceed the
+ *     windowSize if a dictionary is present, see doc/zstd_compression_format.md
+ *     for details.
+ *
+ * The user-provided function shall return a size_t representing the number of
+ * sequences written to outSeqs. This return value will be treated as an error
+ * code if it is greater than outSeqsCapacity. The return value must be non-zero
+ * if srcSize is non-zero. The ZSTD_SEQUENCE_PRODUCER_ERROR macro is provided
+ * for convenience, but any value greater than outSeqsCapacity will be treated as
+ * an error code.
+ *
+ * If the user-provided function does not return an error code, the sequences
+ * written to outSeqs must be a valid parse of the src buffer. Data corruption may
+ * occur if the parse is not valid. A parse is defined to be valid if the
+ * following conditions hold:
+ *   - The sum of matchLengths and literalLengths must equal srcSize.
+ *   - All sequences in the parse, except for the final sequence, must have
+ *     matchLength >= ZSTD_MINMATCH_MIN. The final sequence must have
+ *     matchLength >= ZSTD_MINMATCH_MIN or matchLength == 0.
+ *   - All offsets must respect the windowSize parameter as specified in
+ *     doc/zstd_compression_format.md.
+ *   - If the final sequence has matchLength == 0, it must also have offset == 0.
+ *
+ * zstd will only validate these conditions (and fail compression if they do not
+ * hold) if the ZSTD_c_validateSequences cParam is enabled. Note that sequence
+ * validation has a performance cost.
+ *
+ * If the user-provided function returns an error, zstd will either fall back
+ * to an internal sequence producer or fail the compression operation. The user can
+ * choose between the two behaviors by setting the ZSTD_c_enableSeqProducerFallback
+ * cParam. Fallback compression will follow any other cParam settings, such as
+ * compression level, the same as in a normal compression operation.
+ *
+ * The user shall instruct zstd to use a particular ZSTD_sequenceProducer_F
+ * function by calling
+ *         ZSTD_registerSequenceProducer(cctx,
+ *                                       sequenceProducerState,
+ *                                       sequenceProducer)
+ * This setting will persist until the next parameter reset of the CCtx.
+ *
+ * The sequenceProducerState must be initialized by the user before calling
+ * ZSTD_registerSequenceProducer(). The user is responsible for destroying the
+ * sequenceProducerState.
+ *
+ * *** LIMITATIONS ***
+ * This API is compatible with all zstd compression APIs which respect advanced parameters.
+ * However, there are three limitations:
+ *
+ * First, the ZSTD_c_enableLongDistanceMatching cParam is not currently supported.
+ * COMPRESSION WILL FAIL if it is enabled and the user tries to compress with a block-level
+ * external sequence producer.
+ *   - Note that ZSTD_c_enableLongDistanceMatching is auto-enabled by default in some
+ *     cases (see its documentation for details). Users must explicitly set
+ *     ZSTD_c_enableLongDistanceMatching to ZSTD_ps_disable in such cases if an external
+ *     sequence producer is registered.
+ *   - As of this writing, ZSTD_c_enableLongDistanceMatching is disabled by default
+ *     whenever ZSTD_c_windowLog < 128MB, but that's subject to change. Users should
+ *     check the docs on ZSTD_c_enableLongDistanceMatching whenever the Block-Level Sequence
+ *     Producer API is used in conjunction with advanced settings (like ZSTD_c_windowLog).
+ *
+ * Second, history buffers are not currently supported. Concretely, zstd will always pass
+ * dictSize == 0 to the external sequence producer (for now). This has two implications:
+ *   - Dictionaries are not currently supported. Compression will *not* fail if the user
+ *     references a dictionary, but the dictionary won't have any effect.
+ *   - Stream history is not currently supported. All advanced compression APIs, including
+ *     streaming APIs, work with external sequence producers, but each block is treated as
+ *     an independent chunk without history from previous blocks.
+ *
+ * Third, multi-threading within a single compression is not currently supported. In other words,
+ * COMPRESSION WILL FAIL if ZSTD_c_nbWorkers > 0 and an external sequence producer is registered.
+ * Multi-threading across compressions is fine: simply create one CCtx per thread.
+ *
+ * Long-term, we plan to overcome all three limitations. There is no technical blocker to
+ * overcoming them. It is purely a question of engineering effort.
