* ext/zlib/zlib.c: Added streaming support to inflate processing.
This allows zlib streams to be processed without huge memory growth. [Feature #6612] * NEWS: ditto * ext/zlib/zlib.c (zstream_expand_buffer): Uses rb_yield when a block is given for streaming support. Refactored to use zstream_expand_buffer_into to remove duplicate code. * ext/zlib/zlib.c (zstream_expand_buffer_protect): Added wrapper function to pass jump state back through GVL-free section to allow zstream clean-up before terminating the ruby call. * ext/zlib/zlib.c (zstream_expand_buffer_without_gvl): Acquire GVL to yield processed chunk of output stream. * ext/zlib/zlib.c (zstream_detach_buffer): When a block is given, returns Qnil mid-stream and yields the output buffer at the end of the stream. * ext/zlib/extconf.rb: Update INCFLAGS to find internal.h for rb_thread_call_with_gvl * test/zlib/test_zlib.rb: Updated tests git-svn-id: svn+ssh://ci.ruby-lang.org/ruby/trunk@36349 b2dd03c8-39d4-4d8f-98ff-823fe69b080e

* zlib
+ * Added streaming support for Zlib::Inflate and Zlib::Deflate. This allows
+ processing of a stream without the use of large amounts of memory.
* Added support for the new deflate strategies Zlib::RLE and Zlib::FIXED.
* Zlib streams are now processed without the GVL. This allows gzip, zlib and
deflate streams to be processed in parallel.
