  • Closes #xxxx

One of checkbox below must be checked.

  • I did not use AI to write the code of this patch.
  • This PR follows our AI policy

Summary

Move the VM-independent zlib stream engine into the feature-gated rustpython-common::compression::zlib module and make the RustPython stdlib zlib module consume that shared engine.

This removes the stdlib dependency on flate2, keeps zlib-rs as the pure-Rust backend, and provides exact stream-copy support needed by compressobj.copy(), decompressobj.copy(), copy.copy(), and copy.deepcopy(). It also enables the existing Z_BLOCK and wbits=0 test coverage.

The common layer owns only byte buffers, stream state, and plain Rust errors. Python objects, exception mapping, and cached unused_data / unconsumed_tail identities remain in the stdlib adapter.

Validation

  • cargo test -p rustpython-common --features zlib compression::zlib
  • cargo run --release -- -m test -v test_zlib (76 run, 4 skipped)
  • cargo clippy -p rustpython-common -p rustpython-stdlib --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • cargo test --workspace --exclude rustpython_wasm --exclude rustpython-venvlauncher --exclude rustpython-capi
  • (cd crates/capi && cargo test)
  • Windows GNU cross-check for rustpython-common --features zlib
  • WASI release build with freeze-stdlib,stdlib

AI disclosure

Implementation, refactoring, and test iteration were assisted by Codex (GPT-5). The resulting code was reviewed through the native, Windows cross-build, WASI, Python-suite, workspace, C-API, and clippy checks listed above.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added shared zlib compression and decompression support.
    • Added shared LZMA compression and decompression support on supported platforms.
    • Added streaming compression and decompression, format detection, dictionary handling, checksums, and filter configuration.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of incomplete input, unused data, end-of-file conditions, and compression errors.
    • Improved gzip, raw-stream, flush-mode, and incremental-processing behavior.
    • Corrected LZMA “alone” format handling and validation of compression options.

Pin zlib-rs to the layout that these copies require. Both copy paths transmute DeflateStream or InflateStream into z_stream. zlib-rs v0.6.7 documents this same-layout requirement, but its checks cover only size and alignment. If a future 0.6.x release changes field offsets, both transmutations can cause undefined behavior. Change the workspace dependency to zlib-rs = { version = "=0.6.7", ... }.

Share one Chunker implementation across compression code.

The same two-slice behavior is implemented in crates/common/src/compression/lzma.rs, crates/common/src/compression/zlib.rs, and crates/stdlib/src/compression.rs. Move the shared helper to crates/common/src/compression/mod.rs and reuse it from the backends.

Inline comments:
In `@crates/common/src/compression/lzma.rs`:
- Around line 250-256: Update encode_filter_properties to validate lc, lp, and
pb before the property-byte arithmetic: require lc <= 4, lp <= 4, lc + lp <= 4,
and pb <= 4. On any violation, return Error::Lzma("Invalid or unsupported
options".to_owned()) before computing or encoding the result, preventing invalid
properties and arithmetic overflow.

In `@crates/common/src/compression/zlib.rs`:
- Around line 725-727: Update the flush stream-end handling in Decompressor so
it sets self.eof to true when flush reaches the end of the stream, alongside
clearing self.decompress. Preserve the existing eof update behavior in
Decompressor::decompress and ensure the stdlib zlib eof() getter reflects the
completed flush.
- Around line 86-87: Update the wbits range handling in the relevant conversion
function so negative values are rejected before the gzip (24..=31) and
auto-detect (40..=47) arms subtract their offsets. Preserve the existing
positive-range conversions and return the established invalid-option error for
negative inputs, matching CPython behavior.
- Around line 384-386: Update the empty-input handling in the decompression path
to leave the stream’s end-of-file state unchanged, matching CPython’s behavior
for decompressing empty bytes. Remove or adjust the early return in the relevant
zlib decompression method so subsequent input is still accepted while preserving
normal empty-output behavior.

In `@crates/stdlib/src/lzma.rs`:
- Around line 420-425: Update the FORMAT_ALONE branch in the compressor setup to
preserve supplied filter options: reject unsupported filter chains, or extract
and pass the single LZMA1 options to backend::Compressor::new instead of always
passing None. Ensure options such as dict_size are not silently ignored, while
retaining validation through filters.length(vm)?.

In `@crates/stdlib/src/zlib.rs`:
- Around line 274-286: Update compressobj to use new_init_or_zlib_error for
Compressor::new failures and normalize the invalid initialization message to
“Invalid initialization option”. Replace message-text matching in
new_init_or_zlib_error with a stable backend error classification, such as a
small error enum from the compression zlib backend, so exception mapping remains
correct when wording changes.

Keep the moved CHUNKSIZE maintenance note.

The change deletes the existing TODO with the local chunk-size constant. If rustpython_common::compression::Chunker still uses a hard-coded limit, move the TODO to the shared declaration instead of deleting it.

As per coding guidelines, do not delete or rewrite existing comments unless they are factually wrong or directly contradict the new code.
