#76 new defect

Allow zzat to output immediately — at Version 2

Keywords: Cc:
Product: zzuf

Description (last modified by Sam Hocevar)

If a zzat sequence doesn't use rewind() or fseek(), we know that any read byte can be immediately sent to the standard output. This would improve zzcat's speed and memory usage:

  • design a simple bytecode language
  • write another parser that translates the sequence to bytecode
  • check for syntax BEFORE running the bytecode!
  • if rewinding functions don't appear in the bytecode, output characters immediately
