no_inflate

[An AI generated library that is human verified.]

A minimal no_std Rust library implementing zlib inflate (DEFLATE) algorithm in pure Rust using alloc for dynamic output buffer.

This crate provides a no_std-compatible inflate implementation that reads compressed zlib input from a static byte slice and returns a dynamically allocated Vec<u8> as output.

Key features:

• no_std (uses alloc for dynamic buffers)
• Supports stored, fixed, and dynamic Huffman blocks (RFC 1951)
• No dependencies on the standard library for the library code

BEFORE USING: Sorry, there is issue with how this lib is done and using 'cargo publish' feature. Before using as no_std library, edit the file srd/lib.rs and uncomment the 3rd line. (Publish operation appears to run a test but the test isn't including stdlib.)

//#![cfg_attr(not(test), no_std)]

Usage:

use no_inflate::inflate_zlib;

let compressed: &[u8] = /* zlib compressed bytes */;
let decompressed = inflate_zlib(compressed).expect("decompress");
// `decompressed` is a Vec<u8>

Run tests (requires a standard Rust toolchain):

cargo test --lib test

Limitations:

• Adler32 check is not implemented
• Preset dictionaries (FDICT) are not supported

Note about allocators: The library is written as no_std and uses alloc for dynamic buffer allocation. When using this crate in no_std environments, ensure a global allocator is provided by your runtime or by selecting an allocator crate (for example linked_list_allocator or wee_alloc) and registering it as the #[global_allocator] in your platform.

Contributions welcome.
