This PR is a followup to a previous PR. The goal of the previous PR was to fix a small bug in
seekable_formatthat led to the omission of the ZSTD MAGIC when compressing an empty string.I have validated the bug fix with the test case provided, but have created this PR to fix some minor issues (forgetting to free malloc'd memory in the test case).
Note that, upon further investigation, it seems that this issue occured whenever
ZSTD_inBuffer.size == 0, rather than explicitly for an empty string (NULL first char). For example, if we set the size of inBuffer to 255, set the first char toNULL, and setZSTD_inBuffer.size == sizeof(inBuffer), the ZSTD MAGIC was present. On the other hand, if we setZSTD_inBuffer.size == strlen(inBuffer), the ZSTD MAGIC was omitted.
