Support GDeflate? about libdeflate.net HOT 4 CLOSED

I don't plan to add this into libdeflate.net proper, but I do plan to break out the native package versioning so that you can dynamically load the native component without needing to use the pinned version (similar to what SQLitePCLRaw and Microsoft.Data.Sqlite[.Core] do). This should be enough to point libdeflate.net at your custom nvidia DLL and use the same Compressor/Decompressor interface for GDeflate.

Hi,

This library wraps the @ebiggers/libdeflate project, which only supports deflate-based (deflate, zlib, gzip) formats. I checked the latest libdeflate source and could not find any info about it supporting GDeflate.

I'm not familiar with GDeflate, but after reading its documentation and looking through the DirectX discord #directstorage channel for more info, it doesn't look like it's compatible with the deflate format.

[7:57 PM]randy: are GDeflate streams compatible with zlib? I don't see that spelled out anywhere
[11:24 AM]damyanp (msft): They are not.

Since GDeflate is not deflate-compatible, this library won't support GDeflate unless the upstream libdeflate project decides to add support for it.

Indeed, GDeflate was implemented in NVIDIA's fork (@NVIDIA/libdeflate) of the ebiggers repo. I thought that fork was the actual one, since it's referenced in Microsoft's repo.

Anyway, thanks for your time!

Got it, thanks. I'll take a look at the nvidia fork.
