* Name:        huffman.c
* Author:      Marcus Geelnard
* Description: Huffman coder/decoder implementation.
* Reentrant:   Yes
*
* This is a very straight forward implementation of a Huffman coder and
* decoder.
*
* Primary flaws with this primitive implementation are:
*  - Slow bit stream implementation
*  - Maximum tree depth of 32 (the coder aborts if any code exceeds a
*    size of 32 bits). If I'm not mistaking, this should not be possible
*    unless the input buffer is larger than 2^32 bytes, which is not
*    supported by the coder anyway (max 2^32-1 bytes can be specified with
*    an unsigned 32-bit integer).
*
* On the other hand, there are a few advantages of this implementation:
*  - The Huffman tree is stored in a very compact form, requiring only
*    10 bits per symbol (for 8 bit symbols), meaning a maximum of 320
*    bytes overhead.
*  - The code should be fairly easy to follow, if you are familiar with
*    how the Huffman compression algorithm works.
*
* Possible improvements (probably not worth it):
*  - Partition the input data stream into blocks, where each block has
*    its own Huffman tree. With variable block sizes, it should be
*    possible to find locally optimal Huffman trees, which in turn could
*    reduce the total size.
*  - Allow for a few different predefined Huffman trees, which could
*    reduce the size of a block even further.
