Summary

Follow-up to #8631. Move the VM-independent bzip2 stream owner into a
bz2-gated rustpython-common::compression::bz2 module, beside the zlib and
lzma engines, and keep rustpython-stdlib as the Python object and exception
adapter. The adapter no longer names the bzip2 crate — the bz2 feature
carries it.

_bz2 was the last user of the generic DecompressState / DecompressStatus /
Decompressor machinery in crates/stdlib/src/compression.rs, so that goes
with it. DecompressArgs stays, since zlib and lzma still use it.

The common layer owns byte buffers, stream state, and a plain Bz2Error whose
four variants map to the exceptions Modules/_bz2module.c raises. The
decompressor feeds input through the existing Chunker rather than joining
buffered and freshly supplied bytes into a new allocation on every call, which
is what the zlib engine already does.

test_decompress_after_data_error passes on the ported engine, so its
expectedFailure marker goes.

Validation

Run on macOS aarch64:

  • cargo test -p rustpython-common --features bz2 — 78 passed, 0 failed
  • cargo check -p rustpython-stdlib
  • cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • cargo build --release
  • ./target/release/rustpython -m test test_bz2 — run=102, skipped=1, SUCCESS

AI disclosure

The engine port was written by Grok (grok-4.6) from a written specification, and
reviewed against Modules/_bz2module.c — in particular the eof /
needs_input / unused_data transitions, which follow the same
eofavail_in == 0 → otherwise order as decompress() there — and against
the checks listed above.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added bzip2 compression and decompression support to the shared compression engine.
    • Added streaming compression and decompression with output limits, EOF tracking, trailing-data handling, and error reporting.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of invalid decompression input and negative output-length limits.
    • Standardized bzip2 behavior across supported compression interfaces.
  • Refactor

    • Updated the standard-library bzip2 module to use the shared compression implementation.

Move the VM-independent bzip2 stream owner into a `bz2`-gated
`rustpython-common` module beside the zlib and lzma engines, and keep
`rustpython-stdlib` as the Python object and exception adapter.  The adapter no
longer names the `bzip2` crate; the `bz2` feature carries it.

`_bz2` was the last user of the generic `DecompressState` / `DecompressStatus` /
`Decompressor` machinery in `stdlib/src/compression.rs`, so that goes with it;
`DecompressArgs` stays for zlib and lzma.  The decompressor feeds the stream
through the existing `Chunker`, so buffered and freshly supplied input are no
longer joined into a new allocation first.

`test_decompress_after_data_error` passes on the ported engine, so its
`expectedFailure` marker goes.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a feature-gated common bzip2 streaming backend. It implements compression, decompression, buffering, EOF handling, output limits, and error states. The standard-library bz2 module now uses this backend and removes its direct bzip2 implementation.

Changes

Bzip2 backend migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Backend feature and API contract
crates/common/Cargo.toml, crates/common/src/lib.rs, crates/common/src/compression/mod.rs, crates/common/src/compression/bz2.rs
Adds the bz2 feature and exposes common Bz2Error, Compressor, and Decompressor APIs.
Streaming compression implementation
crates/common/src/compression/bz2.rs
Implements incremental compression and decompression with dynamic buffers, output limits, EOF and unused-data tracking, latched failures, and tests.
Standard-library backend integration
crates/stdlib/Cargo.toml, crates/stdlib/src/bz2.rs, crates/stdlib/src/compression.rs
Migrates the standard-library module to the common backend, maps backend errors, and removes the previous direct bzip2 state and dependency.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b991b

The bzip2 migration can raise EOFError before returning already-decoded output when input is exhausted and the output buffer is full, creating a user-visible correctness bug that should be fixed before merge. The shared stream API also leaves terminal-state enforcement to callers, requiring owner awareness for future consumers.

105-107: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Reuse the output block when its size does not change.

new_buffer_size returns the current size once it reaches BIGCHUNK. This branch then allocates and zeroes a fresh 512 KiB buffer on every iteration for large streams. Resize the existing buffer instead, and skip the work when the size is unchanged. Line 209 in Decompressor::decompress has the same pattern.

bzip2-rs Decompress decompress output buffer full input exhausted BZ2_bzDecompress contract

💡 Result:

In the context of the libbzip2 C library, which underpins many Rust wrappers (such as the bzip2 crate), the function BZ2_bzDecompress is designed to decompress data from a user-supplied input buffer to a user-supplied output buffer [1][2]. Regarding the behavior when the output buffer is full or input is exhausted: 1. BZ2_bzDecompress Contract: The function operates by transferring data between the provided input and output buffers. It stops when the input buffer is empty or the output buffer is full [1][3]. 2. Output Buffer Full (BZ_OUTBUFF_FULL): If the output buffer is insufficient to hold the decompressed data produced by the current input segment, the function returns BZ_OUTBUFF_FULL [1][4]. When this happens, you must empty the output buffer (or provide a new one) and call BZ2_bzDecompress again to continue decompression [1]. 3. Input Exhausted: If the input buffer is exhausted but the stream has not reached its end, the function typically returns BZ_OK (or similar) indicating that it requires more input [1][4]. You should replenish the input buffer and call the function again. 4. Handling in Rust: - The bzip2 crate (bindings to libbz2) provides a Decompress struct that manages these buffers [5][2]. Its decompress method returns a Status, which informs you if it needs more input or has filled the output buffer, requiring the caller to handle the state accordingly [5]. - The bzip2-rs crate (a pure Rust implementation) manages this internally through its Decoder interface, where Read and Write implementations abstract away the manual buffer management [6][7][8]. To ensure correct operation, you should repeatedly call the decompression function in a loop, checking the status or return code, until BZ_STREAM_END is returned, which signifies the logical end of the compressed stream and ensures all output has been fully processed [1][3].

Reorder the exhausted-input check after the output-full check.

When chunks.is_empty() and produced == block.len(), libbz2 can still have decoded output pending. The current order sets needs_input = true, so _compression.DecompressReader can raise EOFError at end of file before returning that output.

Handle a full output block first, then break when input is exhausted. Add a regression test for this case.
