Multiple versions of streamvbyte #72

Closed pps83 closed 6 months ago

What's the difference between https://github.com/lemire/streamvbyte and streamvbyte implementation in FastPFor? Shouldn't fastprof simply reference this one as a submodule instead of having its own implementation?

Can you describe the concrete problems that you are encountering in your applications, and how the refactoring you are proposing solves them?

pps83 commented 6 months ago

I'm not facing any problems, I noticed that faspfor has separate implementation of streamvbyte and would like to know if these bit-exact (eg produce identical output), which one is more optimized etc.

I understand that you have not encountered an issue so I am going to close this issue.

If you'd like to investigate the code, add tests, benchmarks, benchmark results and so forth, you are invited to do so.
