Maybe on pseudo-code level. I found the pkzip code to be barely usable
as a starter (or I'm confused).
First, the byte order is different so I had to rework that. Second,
pkzip first reads nlen, ndist and ncode. I believe RAR has neither.
Third, pkzip seem to use fixed-length of three bits while RAR use
bitlength, zerocount of 4 bits each, 20 entries.
I'm not sure I'm even on the right track here.
This code from pkzip:
left = 1;
for (i = 1; i <= 7; ++i) {
left <<= 1;
left -= count[i];
if (left < 0)
return 0; /* over-subscribed */
}
if (left > 0)
return 0; /* incomplete set */
...is this the actual table check? If I replace 7 with 15, should I be
able to use this provided I built the table correctly?
