Claude Code wrote this cpp project from the task below. It does not run on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine as written.

Task given to the agent:

TASK: Data Compression Benchmark

Write a program that benchmarks multiple compression algorithms on given data files, comparing compression ratio, speed, memory usage, and decompression speed across algorithms and compression levels.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept one or more file paths as command-line arguments to use as benchmark data
- Support benchmarking multiple compression algorithms: DEFLATE (gzip), bzip2, LZMA (xz), LZ4 (if available), and zlib at various compression levels
- For each algorithm, test at multiple compression levels (e.g., levels 1, 5, 9 for gzip)
- Measure and report for each combination: compression ratio (compressed/original), compression speed (MB/s), decompression speed (MB/s), peak memory usage, and wall-clock time
- Run each benchmark multiple times (configurable via --iterations flag, default 3) and report min/mean/max for timing measurements
- Support a --quick flag to test only the default compression level for each algorithm
- Generate a summary comparison table sorted by a configurable metric via --sort flag (ratio, compress-speed, decompress-speed; default: ratio)
- Verify data integrity: decompress each result and verify it matches the original via checksum comparison
- Support benchmarking with different data types via --generate flag: text (English prose), csv (tabular data), json (structured data), binary (random bytes), and mixed
- Print results as a formatted table to console
- Save the full benchmark report as JSON with --output flag (default: compression_benchmark.json)
- If no input files are given, generate sample data files of each type (1MB each), benchmark all algorithms on each, and display a comprehensive comparison matrix
- Handle errors: unsupported algorithms on the platform, out-of-memory during compression, and algorithm-specific limitations

Create a complete C++ project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only G++ 12+ and CMake 3.22+ installed. Include:
- Source code
- CMakeLists.txt with all dependencies (direct and transitive) pinned to exact versions
- README.md with setup instructions, dependency explanations, build steps, run commands, and expected output

# Data Compression Benchmark - C++ (Trial 2)

## Description

Benchmarks Brotli and Snappy compression algorithms in C++. Compares compression ratio, speed, and memory usage across multiple quality/compression levels.

## Dependencies

- **brotli** (libbrotlienc, libbrotlidec) - Brotli compression library
- **snappy** - Google Snappy fast compression library

## Build

```bash
# Install dependencies (Ubuntu/Debian)
sudo apt-get install libbrotli-dev libsnappy-dev

# Install dependencies (macOS)
brew install brotli snappy

# Build
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
```

## Run

```bash
# Default (2 MB test data)
./compression_benchmark

# Custom data size (bytes)
./compression_benchmark 5000000
```

## Output

The benchmark produces a summary table with columns:
- Algorithm name and compression level
- Compression ratio (higher is better)
- Compression and decompression time (ms)
- Compression speed (MB/s)
- Peak memory usage (KB)
