Thoroughly analyze the nature and characteristics of the infinite test case.
Estimate potential growth in block size and its implications on the current input reader.
Evaluate Current Input Reader:
Review the design and functionality of the existing block-by-block input reader.
Identify any bottlenecks or inefficiencies when handling larger block sizes.
Input Reader Strategy Development:
Formulate strategies for enhancing or replacing the current input reader to handle potentially larger block sizes.
Consider solutions such as streaming inputs, or partial block reads.
Adjustment/Redesign of Input Reader:
Based on the chosen strategy, make the necessary adjustments to the existing input reader or design a new mechanism.
Ensure compatibility with the main algorithm and that data integrity is maintained.
Integration with Algorithm:
Make necessary adjustments to the compression algorithm to accommodate changes in the input reader.
DoD:
The special version effectively handles the infinite test case, managing inputs, processing, and outputs without crashing or causing system instability.
The input reader is equipped to handle infinite-sized inputs without memory overflow or significant performance degradation.
The special version operates efficiently, ensuring that the system isn't unduly slowed down by the infinite test scenario.
