Please review this cleanup PR which removes overrides of `InflaterInputStream.fill` in `ZipFileInflaterInputStream` and `ZipFileSystem::getInputStream`. Associated boolean fields used to track `eof` are also removed.
These overrides exist to provide zlib with an extra dummy byte at the end of raw compressed streams (no wrapping):
// Override fill() method to provide an extra "dummy" byte
// at the end of the input stream. This is required when
// using the "nowrap" Inflater option.
protected void fill() throws IOException {
However, zlib has not required such an extra dummy byte since 2003.
Changes in 1.2.0 (9 March 2003)
- New and improved inflate code
- Raw inflate no longer needs an extra dummy byte at end
```
The code in these overrides is effectively dead and removing it cleans up our code and reclaims weirdness dollars for our budget.
Risk: I cannot imagine anyone is building OpenJDK with a 21 year old ZLIB. Please advise if this is the case or if any zlib fork in use still has this limitation.
Testing: ZIP and ZIPFS tests run green locally. GHA results pending. No tests are added or modified, this is a cleanup-only PR.
