Now the test scripts detect both
#define HAVE_DECODER_ARM
#define HAVE_DECODER_ARM 1
as support for the ARM filter without confusing it with these:
#define HAVE_DECODER_ARM64
#define HAVE_DECODER_ARM64 1
Previously only the ones ending with " 1" were accepted for
the macros where this kind of confusion was possible.
This should help with Meson support because Meson's built-in
features produce config.h entries that are either
#define FOO 1
#define FOO 0
or:
#define FOO
#undef FOO
The former method has a benefit that one can use "#if FOO" and -Wundef
will catch if a #define is missing (for example, it helps catching
typos). But XZ Utils has to use the latter since it has been
convenient with Autoconf's default behavior.[*] While it's easy to
emulate the Autoconf style (#define FOO 1 vs. no #define at all)
in Meson, it results in clumsy code. Thus it's better to change
the few places in the tests where this difference matters.
[*] While most checks in Autoconf default to the second style above,
a few things use the first style (like AC_CHECK_DECLS). The mix
of both styles is the most confusing as one has to remember which
macro needs #ifdef and which #if. Currently HAVE_VISIBILITY is
only such config.h entry that is 1 or 0. It comes unmodified
from Gnulib's visibility.m4.
Add a new optional argument to specify the directory of the xz and
xzdec executables.
If ../config.h doesn't exist, assume that all encoders and decoders
are available.
While the backdoor was inactive (and thus harmless) without inserting
a small trigger code into the build system when the source package was
created, it's good to remove this anyway:
- The executable payloads were embedded as binary blobs in
the test files. This was a blatant violation of the
Debian Free Software Guidelines.
- On machines that see lots bots poking at the SSH port, the backdoor
noticeably increased CPU load, resulting in degraded user experience
and thus overwhelmingly negative user feedback.
- The maintainer who added the backdoor has disappeared.
- Backdoors are bad for security.
This reverts the following without making any other changes:
6e636819 Tests: Update two test files.
a3a29bbd Tests: Test --single-stream can decompress bad-3-corrupt_lzma2.xz.
0b4ccc91 Tests: Update RISC-V test files.
8c9b8b20 liblzma: Fix typos in crc32_fast.c and crc64_fast.c.
82ecc538 liblzma: Fix false Valgrind error report with GCC.
cf44e4b7 Tests: Add a few test files.
3060e107 Tests: Use smaller dictionary size in RISC-V test files.
e2870db5 Tests: Add two RISC-V Filter test files.
The RISC-V test files also have real content that tests the filter
but the real content would fit into much smaller files. A generator
program would need to be available as well.
Thanks to Andres Freund for finding and reporting it and making
it public quickly so others could act without a delay.

Fixed a bug where test_compress_* would all fail if arm64 or armthumb
filters were enabled for compression but arm was disabled. Since the
grep tests only checked for "define HAVE_ENCODER_ARM", this would match
on HAVE_ENCODER_ARM64 or HAVE_ENCODER_ARMTHUMB.
Now the config.h feature test requires " 1" at the end to prevent the
prefix problem. have_feature() was also updated for this even though
there were known current bugs affecting it. This is just in case future
features have a similar prefix problem.
It now tries to test as many files as easily possible.
The exit status indicates skipping if any of the files were
skipped. This way it is easy to notice if something is being
skipped when it isn't expected.
xz (but not xzdec) will normally warn about unsupported check
but since we are testing specifically such a file, it's better
to silence that warning so that it doesn't look suspicious in
test_files.sh.log.
The use of -q and -Q in xzdec is just for consistency and
doesn't affect the result at least for now.
This isn't perfect as the scripts can still fail if only
certain filters are disabled. This is still an improvement
as now "make check" has better behavior when all encoders
or decoders are disabled.
Grepping ../config.h is simple and fairly clean but it only
works if config.h was created. CMake builds don't create
config.h but they don't use these test scripts either.
Thanks to Sebastian Andrzej Siewior for reporting the problem.
Thanks to Jia Tan for the original patch which grepped xz
error messages instead of config.h.
I suspect that I used these in the original version because
Autoconf's manual describes that such a trick is needed in
some specific situations for portability reasons. None of those
situations listed on Autoconf 2.71 manual apply to these test
scripts though so this cleans them up.
This test fails before commit 18d7facd38.
test_files.sh now runs xz -l for bad-3-index-uncomp-overflow.xz
because only then the previously-buggy code path gets tested.
Normal decompression doesn't use lzma_index_append() at all.
Instead, lzma_index_hash functions are used and those already
did the overflow check.
Hiding them makes no sense since normally there's no error
when testing the "good" files. With "bad" files errors are
expected and then it makes sense to keep the messages hidden.
