10 * ChangeLog:
12 * (25/Aug/2004) Paulo Marques <pmarques@grupopie.com>
13 * Changed the compression method from stem compression to "table lookup"
14 * compression
16 * Table compression uses all the unused char codes on the symbols and
17 * maps these to the most used substrings (tokens). For instance, it might
18 * map char code 0xF7 to represent "write_" and then in every symbol where
19 * "write_" appears it can be replaced by 0xF7, saving 5 bytes.
20 * The used codes themselves are also placed in the table so that the
21 * decompresion can work without "special cases".
22 * Applied to kernel symbols, this usually produces a compression ratio
23 * of about 50%.
