scripts/dictionary/step-04-generate-java-literals.py

# Step 04 - generate Java literals.
#
# Java byte-code has ridiculous restrictions. There is no such thing as
# "array literal" - those are implemented as series of data[x] = y;
# as a consequence N-byte array will use 7N bytes in class, plus N bytes
# in instantiated variable. Also no literal could be longer than 64KiB.
#
# To keep dictionary data compact both in source code and in compiled format
# we use the following tricks:
#  * use String as a data container
#  * store only lowest 7 bits; i.e. all characters fit ASCII table; this allows
#    efficient conversion to byte array; also ASCII characters use only 1 byte
#.   of memory (UTF-8 encoding)
#  * RLE-compress sequence of 8-th bits
#
# This script generates literals used in Java code.
