Most of these fixes are small typos and tweaks. A few were caused by bad
advice from me. Here is the summary of what is changed:
- Author line edits
- Small comment changes/additions
- Using the return value in the error messages in the fuzz targets'
coder initialization code
- Removed fuzz_encode_stream.options. This set a max length, which may
prevent some worthwhile code paths from being properly exercised.
- Removed the max_len option from fuzz_decode_stream.options for the
same reason as fuzz_encode_stream. The alone decoder fuzz target still
has this restriction.
- Altered the dictionary contents for fuzz_lzma.dict. Instead of keeping
the properties static and varying the dictionary size, the properties
are varied and the dictionary size is kept small. The dictionary size
doesn't have much impact on the code paths but the properties do.

This fuzz target handles .xz stream encoding. The first byte of input
is used to dynamically set the preset level in order to increase the
fuzz coverage of complex critical code paths.
This fuzz target that handles LZMA alone decoding. A new fuzz
dictionary .dict was also created with common LZMA header values to
help speed up the discovery of valid headers.
All .c files can be built as separate fuzz targets. This simplifies
the Makefile by allowing us to use wildcards instead of having a
Makefile target for each fuzz target.
Some compilers support __attribute__((__ifunc__())) even though the
dynamic linker does not. The compiler is able to create the binary
but it will fail on startup. So it is not enough to just test if
the attribute is supported.
The default value for enable_ifunc is now auto, which will attempt
to compile a program using __attribute__((__ifunc__())). There are
additional checks in this program if glibc is being used or if it
is running on FreeBSD.
Setting --enable-ifunc will skip this test and always enable
__attribute__((__ifunc__())), even if is not supported.
The new is_tty() will report if a file descriptor is a terminal or not.
On POSIX systems, it is a wrapper around isatty(). However, the native
Windows implementation of isatty() will return true for all character
devices, not just terminals. So is_tty() has a special case for Windows
so it can use alternative Windows API functions to determine if a file
descriptor is a terminal.
This fixes a bug with MSVC and MinGW-w64 builds that refused to read from
or write to non-terminal character devices because xz thought it was a
terminal. For instance:
xz foo -c > /dev/null
would fail because /dev/null was assumed to be a terminal.
This tests some complicated interactions with the --suffix= option.
The suffix option must be used with --format=raw, but can optionally
be used to override the default .xz suffix.
This test also verifies some recent bugs have been correctly solved
and to hopefully avoid further regressions in the future.
The following command caused a segmentation fault:
xz -Fraw --lzma1 --files=foo
when foo was a valid file. The usage of --files or --files0 was not
being checked when compressing or decompressing in raw mode without a
suffix. The suffix checking code was meant to validate that all files
to be processed are "-" (if not writing to standard out), meaning the
data is only coming from standard in. In this case, there were no file
names to check since --files and --files0 store their file name in a
different place.
Later code assumed the suffix was set and caused a segmentation fault.
Now, the above command results in an error.
The previous version set opt_stdout, but this caused an issue with
copying an input file to standard out when decompressing an unknown file
type. The following needs to result in an error:
echo foo | xz -df
since -c, --stdout is not used. This fixes the previous error by not
setting opt_stdout.
This fixes a bug introduced in cc5aa9ab13
when the suffix check was initially moved. This caused a situation that
previously worked:
echo foo | xz -Fraw --lzma1 | wc -c
to fail because the old code knew that this would write to standard out
so a suffix was not needed.
If the -c, --stdout argument is not used, then we can still detect when
the data will be written to standard out if all of the provided
filenames are "-" (denoting standard in) or if no filenames are
provided.
The macro lzma_attr_visibility_hidden has to be defined to make
fastpos.h usable. The visibility attribute is irrelevant to
fastpos_tablegen.c so simply #define the macro to an empty value.
fastpos_tablegen.c is never built by the included build systems
and so the problem wasn't noticed earlier. It's just a standalone
program for generating fastpos_table.c.

In ELF shared libs:
-fvisibility=hidden affects definitions of symbols but not
declarations.[*] This doesn't affect direct calls to functions
inside liblzma as a linker can replace a call to lzma_foo@plt
with a call directly to lzma_foo when -fvisibility=hidden is used.
[*] It has to be like this because otherwise every installed
header file would need to explictly set the symbol visibility
to default.
When accessing extern variables that aren't defined in the
same translation unit, compiler assumes that the variable has
the default visibility and thus indirection is needed. Unlike
function calls, linker cannot optimize this.
Using __attribute__((__visibility__("hidden"))) with the extern
variable declarations tells the compiler that indirection isn't
needed because the definition is in the same shared library.
About 15+ years ago, someone told me that it would be good if
the CRC tables would be defined in the same translation unit
as the C code of the CRC functions. While I understood that it
could help a tiny amount, I didn't want to change the code because
a separate translation unit for the CRC tables was needed for the
x86 assembly code anyway. But when visibility attributes are
supported, simply marking the extern declaration with the
hidden attribute will get identical result. When there are only
a few affected variables, this is trivial to do. I wish I had
understood this back then already.
MinGW (formely a MinGW.org Project, later the MinGW.OSDN Project
at <https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/>) has GCC 9.2.0 as the
most recent GCC package (released 2021-02-02). The project might
still be alive but majority of people have switched to MinGW-w64.
Thus it seems clearer to refer to MinGW-w64 in our API headers too.
Building with MinGW is likely to still work but I haven't tested it
in the recent years.
A CMake option LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT is created if and only if
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 affects sizeof(off_t).
This is needed on many 32-bit platforms and even with 64-bit builds
with MinGW-w64 to get support for files larger than 2 GiB.
Autotools based build uses -pthread and thus adds it to Libs.private
in liblzma.pc. CMake doesn't use -pthread at all if pthread functions
are available in libc so Libs.private doesn't get -pthread either.
It properly adds -DLZMA_API_STATIC when compiling code that
will be linked against static liblzma. Having it there on
systems other than Windows does no harm.
See: https://www.msys2.org/docs/pkgconfig/
Now configure will fail if -fsanitize= is found in CFLAGS
and sanitizer-incompatible ifunc or Landlock sandboxing
would be used. These are incompatible with one or more sanitizers.
It's simpler to reject all -fsanitize= uses instead of trying to
pass those that might not cause problems.
CMake-based build was updated similarly. It lets the configuration
finish (SEND_ERROR instead of FATAL_ERROR) so that both error
messages can be seen at once.
The sandboxing on Linux now supports Landlock, which restricts all
supported filesystem actions after xz opens the files it needs. The
sandbox is only enabled when one file is input and we are writing to
standard out. With fsanitize=address,undefined, the instrumentation
needs to read additional files after the sandbox is in place. This
forces all xz based test to fail, so the sandbox must instead be
disabled.
Using set(ENABLE_THREADS "posix") is confusing because it sets
a new normal variable and leaves the cache entry with the same
name unchanged. The intent wasn't to change the cache entry so
this switches to a different variable name.
