The LZ family of lossless compression algorithms has many, many variants each making use of various optimizations to eek out every bit of performance for a given application. There are so many variants that they are generally broken into two categories

Having previously covered conditional statements and loops, there is only one topic left to cover in my series on compiling control flow constructs to pcode, and of course I have saved the best for last. In todays post we're going to talk about compili
