     53 /// \brief      Type of probabilities used with range coder
     54 ///
     55 /// This needs to be at least 12-bit integer, so uint16_t is a logical choice.
     56 /// However, on some architecture and compiler combinations, a bigger type
     57 /// may give better speed, because the probability variables are accessed
     58 /// a lot. On the other hand, bigger probability type increases cache
     59 /// footprint, since there are 2 to 14 thousand probability variables in
     60 /// LZMA (assuming the limit of lc + lp <= 4; with lc + lp <= 12 there
     61 /// would be about 1.5 million variables).
     62 ///
     63 /// With malicious files, the initialization speed of the LZMA decoder can
     64 /// become important. In that case, smaller probability variables mean that
     65 /// there is less bytes to write to RAM, which makes initialization faster.
     66 /// With big probability type, the initialization can become so slow that it
     67 /// can be a problem e.g. for email servers doing virus scanning.
     68 ///
     69 /// I will be sticking to uint16_t unless some specific architectures
     70 /// are *much* faster (20-50 %) with uint32_t.
     71 ///
     72 /// Update in 2024: The branchless C and x86-64 assembly was written so that
     73 /// probability is assumed to be uint16_t. (In contrast, LZMA SDK 23.01
     74 /// assembly supports both types.)
