This affects only 32-bit x86 builds. x86-64 is OK as is.
I still cannot easily test this myself. The reporter has tested
this and it passes the tests included in the CMake build and
performance is good: raw CRC64 is 2-3 times faster than the
C version of the slice-by-four method. (Note that liblzma doesn't
include a MSVC-compatible version of the 32-bit x86 assembly code
for the slice-by-four method.)
Thanks to Iouri Kharon for figuring out a fix, testing, and
benchmarking.
This reverts commit 36edc65ab4.
It was reported that it wasn't a good enough fix and MSVC
still produced (different kind of) bad code when building
for 32-bit x86 if optimizations are enabled.
Thanks to Iouri Kharon.
On some platforms src/xz/suffix.c may need <strings.h> for
strcasecmp() but suffix.c includes the header when it needs it.
Unless there is an old system that otherwise supports enough C99
to build XZ Utils but doesn't have C89/C90-compatible <string.h>,
there should be no need to include <strings.h> in sysdefs.h.
SUSv2 and POSIX.1‐2017 declare only a few functions in <strings.h>.
Of these, strcasecmp() is used on some platforms in suffix.c.
Nothing else in the project needs <strings.h> (at least if
building on a modern system).
sysdefs.h currently includes <strings.h> if HAVE_STRINGS_H is
defined and suffix.c relied on this.
Note that dos/config.h doesn't #define HAVE_STRINGS_H even though
DJGPP does have strings.h. It isn't needed with DJGPP as strcasecmp()
is also in <string.h> in DJGPP.
It quite probably was never needed, that is, any system where memory.h
was required likely couldn't compile XZ Utils for other reasons anyway.
XZ Utils 5.2.6 and later source packages were generated using
Autoconf 2.71 which no longer defines HAVE_MEMORY_H. So the code
being removed is no longer used anyway.
I haven't tested with MSVC myself and there doesn't seem to be
information about the problem online, so I'm relying on the bug report.
Thanks to Iouri Kharon for the bug report and the patch.
common/index.h is needed by liblzma internally and tests. common.h will
include and define many things that are not needed by the tests. Also,
this prevents include order problems because common.h will redefine
LZMA_API resulting in a warning.
5.5.0alpha won't be released, it's just to mark that
the branch is not for stable 5.4.x.
Once again there is no API/ABI stability for new features
in devel versions. The major soname won't be bumped even
if API/ABI of new features breaks between devel releases.
HAVE_DECL_PROGRAM_INVOCATION_NAME is renamed to
HAVE_PROGRAM_INVOCATION_NAME. Previously,
HAVE_DECL_PROGRAM_INVOCATION_NAME was always set when
building with autotools. CMake would only set this when it was 1, and the
dos/config.h did not define it. The new macro definition is consistent
across build systems.
Previously, <sys/time.h> was always included, even if mythread only used
clock_gettime. <time.h> is still needed even if clock_gettime is not used
though because struct timespec is needed for mythread_condtime.
Previously, if threading was enabled HAVE_DECL_CLOCK_MONOTONIC would always
be set to 0 or 1. However, this macro was needed in xz so if xz was not
built with threading and HAVE_DECL_CLOCK_MONOTONIC was not defined but
HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME was, it caused a warning during build. Now,
HAVE_DECL_CLOCK_MONOTONIC has been renamed to HAVE_CLOCK_MONOTONIC and
will only be set if it is 1.
Using return_if_error on lzma_lzma_lclppb_encode was improper because
return_if_error is expecting an lzma_ret value, but
lzma_lzma_lclppb_encode returns a boolean. This could result in
lzma_microlzma_encoder, which would be misleading for applications.
The code that parses --memlimit options and --block-list modified
the argv[] when parsing the option string from optarg. This was
visible in "ps auxf" and such and could be confusing. I didn't
understand it back in the day when I wrote that code. Now a copy
is allocated when modifiable strings are needed.
The API docs gave an impression that such checks are done
but they actually weren't done. In practice it made little
difference since the calling code has a bug if these are NULL.
Thanks to Jia Tan for the original patch that checked for
block->filters == NULL.
If someone sets up Clang to define __GNUC__ to 10 or greater
then symvers broke. __has_attribute is supported by such GCC
and Clang versions that don't support __symver__ so this should
be much better and simpler way to detect if __symver__ is
actually supported.
Thanks to Tomasz Gajc for the bug report.
It has some complicated downsides and its usefulness is more limited
than I originally thought. So this change is bad for certain very
specific situations but a generic solution that works for other
filters (and is otherwise better too) is planned anyway. And this
way 7-Zip can use the same compatible filter for the .7z format.
This is still marked as experimental with a new temporary Filter ID.
lzma_str_to_filters() uses static error messages which makes
them not very precise. It tells the position in the string
where an error occurred though which helps quite a bit if
applications take advantage of it. Dynamic error messages can
be added later with a new flag if it seems important enough.
Some file formats need support for LZMA1 streams that don't use
the end of payload marker (EOPM) alias end of stream (EOS) marker.
So far liblzma API has supported decompressing such streams via
lzma_alone_decoder() when .lzma header specifies a known
uncompressed size. Encoding support hasn't been available in the API.
Instead of adding a new LZMA1-only API for this purpose, this commit
adds a new filter ID for use with raw encoder and decoder. The main
benefit of this approach is that then also filter chains are possible,
for example, if someone wants to implement support for .7z files that
use the x86 BCJ filter with LZMA1 (not BCJ2 as that isn't supported
in liblzma).
That is, if the specified nice_len is smaller than the minimum
of the match finder, silently use the match finder's minimum value
instead of reporting an error. The old behavior is annoying to users
and it complicates xz options handling too.
