Subject: [PATCH 1/5] reachability-bitmaps: add CRoaring library to Git

From: "Abhradeep Chakraborty via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2022 17:47:35 +0000

From: Abhradeep Chakraborty <[email-masked]>

According to Roaring bitmap's paper[1], it gives better performance
(in most cases) than EWAH bitmaps. Its compression ratio is also good.
Moreover, unlike EWAH, it doesn't have to parse the whole bitmap to
know about one object. So, It may be good for Git to use Roaring
bitmaps for its work.

CRoaring is a well tested library for Roaring bitmaps and is mainly
written by the author of the mentioned paper.

Add CRoaring library to use roaring bitmap related functions.

+ * <typecodes>   uint8_t[num_containers]
+ * <header>      uint32_t
+ *
+ * <header> is a 4-byte value which is a bit union of FROZEN_COOKIE (15 bits)
+ * and the number of containers (17 bits).
+ *
+ * <counts> stores number of elements for every container.
+ * Its meaning depends on container type.
+ * For array and bitset containers, this value is the container cardinality minus one.
+ * For run container, it is the number of rle_t elements (n_runs).
+ *
+ * <bitset_data>,<array_data>,<run_data> are flat arrays of elements of
+ * all containers of respective type.
+ *
+ * <*_data> and <keys> are kept close together because they are not accessed
+ * during deserilization. This may reduce IO in case of large mmaped bitmaps.
+ * All members have their native alignments during deserilization except <header>,
+ * which is not guaranteed to be aligned by 4 bytes.
