/* Bit-level packing routines
 *
 * WARNING WARNING WARNING:
 * The write functions assume that memory is zero initially.  This makes them
 * faster and is the appropriate case for mmapped language model construction.
 * These routines assume that unaligned access to uint64_t is fast.  This is
 * the case on x86_64.  I'm not sure how fast unaligned 64-bit access is on
 * x86 but my target audience is large language models for which 64-bit is
 * necessary.
 *
 * Call the BitPackingSanity function to sanity check.  Calling once suffices,
 * but it may be called multiple times when that's inconvenient.
 *
 * ARM and MinGW ports contributed by Hideo Okuma and Tomoyuki Yoshimura at
 * NICT.
