Re: Compress prune/freeze records with Delta Frame of Reference algorithm

Hello Andrey,

 > Great idea and nice library for DFoR! Thank you for your attention.
I wish the patch would be useful.

All your proposals and recommendations have been implemented in v02.
Also the meson settings has been updated for supporting the new
developments.

Once meson is fixed, tests should pass successfully now. Looking
forward to this.

Done.

No guarantees from libraries or from descriptions about qsort's
behaviour regarding dynamic memory allocation. So, the qsort is just
substituted with the sort_template, which we trust, and as you
proposed.

Waiting for tests to have passed, and then I hope we could move further.
