Compute the "safe" distance properly#1801
Conversation
The safe pointer that is computed is an exclusive, not inclusive bounds. While we were probably rarely ever bit this, if ever, it still makes sense to apply the limit, properly.

263-263: Approve: Correct adjustment for exclusive boundsThis change aligns with the PR objective of computing the 'safe' distance properly. By removing the
+ 1, theCHUNKMEMSET_SAFEfunction now uses exclusive bounds instead of inclusive ones. This subtle but crucial adjustment enhances the safety of memory operations by preventing potential buffer overruns.The modification is correct and improves the overall robustness of the decompression algorithm.
