commit 9aaec95e82117c1cb0f9624264c3618fc380cecb
Author: Mark Adler <madler@alumni.caltech.edu>
Date:   Wed Sep 21 22:25:21 2016 -0700

    Use post-increment only in inffast.c.
    
    An old inffast.c optimization turns out to not be optimal anymore
    with modern compilers, and furthermore was not compliant with the
    C standard, for which decrementing a pointer before its allocated
    memory is undefined. Per the recommendation of a security audit of
    the zlib code by Trail of Bits and TrustInSoft, in support of the
    Mozilla Foundation, this "optimization" was removed, in order to
    avoid the possibility of undefined behavior.
