A translation of the miniz.c single source Deflate/Inflate compression library to Rust.
Presently, Rust's libflate relies on miniz.c. Other compression libraries like flate2-rs rely on a statically linked miniz. Having a pure-Rust compression implementation would simplify the implementation of all compression libraries.
Basic translations such as function signatures, type declarations, C-only operator replacements, type checking, mutability, lifetimes and visibility have been done. However, the function tinfl_decompress needs significant reworking, since it relies on goto spaghetti.
All the loops created from C while and for loops and every former increment or decrement operator needs to be reviewed.
miniz-rs desperately needs input testing, to verify that bugs weren't introduced during translation.
miniz-rs is licensed under the same terms as the Rust distribution, for which it is intended.
