--disable-assembler
liblzma includes some assembler optimizations. Currently
there is only assembler code for CRC32 and CRC64 for
32-bit x86.
This disables CRC32 and CRC64 assembly code on
32-bit x86. This option currently does nothing
on other architectures (not even on x86-64).
All the assembler code in liblzma is position-independent
code, which is suitable for use in shared libraries and
position-independent executables. So far only i386
instructions are used, but the code is optimized for i686
class CPUs. If you are compiling liblzma exclusively for
The 32-bit x86 assembly is position-independent code
which is suitable for use in shared libraries and
position-independent executables. It uses only i386
instructions but the code is optimized for i686 class
CPUs. If you are compiling liblzma exclusively for
pre-i686 systems, you may want to disable the assembler
code.
