// inputMargin is the minimum number of extra input bytes to keep, inside

// implement a fast path for emitLiteral, where the copy of short (<= 16 byte)
// literals can be implemented as a single load to and store from a 16-byte
// register. That literal's actual length can be as short as 1 byte, so this
// can copy up to 15 bytes too much, but that's OK as subsequent iterations of
// the encoding loop will fix up the copy overrun, and this inputMargin ensures
// that we don't overrun the dst and src buffers.
const inputMargin = 16 - 1

// minNonLiteralBlockSize is the minimum size of the input to encodeBlock that
// could be encoded with a copy tag. This is the minimum with respect to the
// algorithm used by encodeBlock, not a minimum enforced by the file format.
//
// The encoded output must start with at least a 1 byte literal, as there are
// no previous bytes to copy. A minimal (1 byte) copy after that, generated
// from an emitCopy call in encodeBlock's main loop, would require at least
// another inputMargin bytes, for the reason above: we want any emitLiteral
// calls inside encodeBlock's main loop to use the fast path if possible, which
// requires being able to overrun by inputMargin bytes. Thus,
// minNonLiteralBlockSize equals 1 + 1 + inputMargin.
//
// The C++ code doesn't use this exact threshold, but it could, as discussed at
// https://groups.google.com/d/topic/snappy-compression/oGbhsdIJSJ8/discussion
// The difference between Go (2+inputMargin) and C++ (inputMargin) is purely an
// optimization. It should not affect the encoded form. This is tested by
// TestSameEncodingAsCppShortCopies.

	//    item       := literal* copy
	//
	// The trailing literal sequence has a space blowup of at most 62/60
	// since a literal of length 60 needs one tag byte + one extra byte
	// for length information.
	//
	// Item blowup is trickier to measure. Suppose the "copy" op copies
	// 4 bytes of data. Because of a special check in the encoding code,
	// we produce a 4-byte copy only if the offset is < 65536. Therefore
	// the copy op takes 3 bytes to encode, and this type of item leads
	// to at most the 62/60 blowup for representing literals.
	//
	// Suppose the "copy" op copies 5 bytes of data. If the offset is big
	// enough, it will take 5 bytes to encode the copy op. Therefore the
	// worst case here is a one-byte literal followed by a five-byte copy.
	// That is, 6 bytes of input turn into 7 bytes of "compressed" data.
	//
	// This last factor dominates the blowup, so the final estimate is:
	n = 32 + n + n/6
