51 /// \brief      Type of probabilities used with range coder
52 ///
53 /// This needs to be at least 12-bit integer, so uint16_t is a logical choice.
54 /// However, on some architecture and compiler combinations, a bigger type
55 /// may give better speed, because the probability variables are accessed
56 /// a lot. On the other hand, bigger probability type increases cache
57 /// footprint, since there are 2 to 14 thousand probability variables in
58 /// LZMA (assuming the limit of lc + lp <= 4; with lc + lp <= 12 there
59 /// would be about 1.5 million variables).
60 ///
61 /// With malicious files, the initialization speed of the LZMA decoder can
62 /// become important. In that case, smaller probability variables mean that
63 /// there is less bytes to write to RAM, which makes initialization faster.
64 /// With big probability type, the initialization can become so slow that it
65 /// can be a problem e.g. for email servers doing virus scanning.
66 ///
67 /// I will be sticking to uint16_t unless some specific architectures
68 /// are *much* faster (20-50 %) with uint32_t.
