Lasse Collin d716acdae3 Docs: Update comments to refer to lzma/lzma12.h in example programs. 2014-05-04 11:09:11 +03:00
Lasse Collin 4d5b7b3fda liblzma: Rename the private API header lzma/lzma.h to lzma/lzma12.h.
It can be confusing that two header files have the same name.
The public API file is still lzma.h.

Lasse Collin 1555a9c566 Build: Fix the combination of --disable-xzdec --enable-lzmadec.
In this case "make install" could fail if the man page directory
didn't already exist at the destination. If it did exist, a
dangling symlink was created there. Now the link is omitted
instead. This isn't the best fix but it's better than the old
behavior.

Lasse Collin 56056571df Build: Add --disable-doc to configure. 2014-04-25 17:44:26 +03:00
Lasse Collin 6de61d8721 Update INSTALL.
Add a note about failing "make check". The source of
the problem should be fixed in libtool (if it really is
a libtool bug and not mine) but I'm unable to spend time
on that for now. Thanks to Nelson H. F. Beebe for reporting
the issue.

Add a note about a possible need to run "ldconfig" after
"make install".

Lasse Collin 54df428799 xz: Rename a variable to avoid a namespace collision on Solaris.
I don't know the details but I have an impression that there's
no problem in practice if using GCC since people have built xz
with GCC (without patching xz), but renaming the variable cannot
hurt either.

Thanks to Mark Ashley.

Lasse Collin 5876ca27da Docs: Add example program for threaded encoding.
I didn't add -DLZMA_UNSTABLE to Makefile so one has to
specify it manually as long as LZMA_UNSTABLE is needed.

It read the filter chain from a wrong variable.

Lasse Collin ad96a871a1 Windows: Add config.h for building liblzma with MSVC 2013.
This is for building liblzma. Building xz tool too requires
a little more work. Maybe it will be supported, but for most
MSVC users it's enough to be able to build liblzma.

C99 support in MSVC 2013 is almost usable which is a big
improvement over earlier versions. It's "almost" because
there's a dumb bug that breaks mixed declarations after
an "if" statements unless the "if" statement uses braces:

https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/808650/visual-studio-2013-c99-compiler-bug
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/808472/c99-support-of-mixed-declarations-and-statements-fails-with-certain-types-and-constructs

Hopefully it will get fixed. Then liblzma should be
compilable with MSVC 2013 without patching.

Lasse Collin a19d9e8575 liblzma: Avoid C99 compound literal arrays.
MSVC 2013 doesn't like them. Maybe they aren't so good
for readability either since many aren't used to them.

Lasse Collin e28528f1c8 liblzma: Remove a useless C99ism from sha256.c.
Unsurprisingly it makes no difference in compiled output.

Lasse Collin 5ad1effc45 xz: Fix use of wrong variable.
Since the only call to suffix_set() uses optarg
as the argument, fixing this bug doesn't change
the behavior of the program.

Lasse Collin d1cd8b1cb8 xz: Update the man page about --block-size and --block-list. 2013-11-12 16:38:57 +02:00

Lasse Collin dd750acbe2 xz: Make --block-list and --block-size work together in single-threaded.
Previously, --block-list and --block-size only worked together
in threaded mode. Boundaries are specified by --block-list, but
--block-size specifies the maximum size for a Block. Now this
works in single-threaded mode too.

Thanks to James M Leddy for the original patch.

Lasse Collin 841da0352d xz: Document behavior of --block-list with threads.
This needs to be updated before 5.2.0.

Lasse Collin 56feb8665b xz: Document --flush-timeout=TIMEOUT on the man page. 2013-10-22 20:03:12 +03:00
Lasse Collin ba413da1d5 xz: Take advantage of LZMA_FULL_BARRIER with --block-list.
Now if --block-list is used in threaded mode, the encoder
won't need to flush at each Block boundary specified via
--block-list. This improves performance a lot, making
threading helpful with --block-list.

The flush timer was reset after LZMA_FULL_FLUSH but since
LZMA_FULL_BARRIER doesn't flush, resetting the timer is
no longer done.
2013-10-22 19:51:55 +03:00
Lasse Collin 0cd45fc2bc liblzma: Support LZMA_FULL_FLUSH and _BARRIER in threaded encoder.
Now --block-list=SIZES works with in the threaded mode too,
although the performance is still bad due to the use of
LZMA_FULL_FLUSH instead of the new LZMA_FULL_BARRIER.
2013-10-02 20:05:23 +03:00
Lasse Collin 97bb38712f liblzma: Add LZMA_FULL_BARRIER support to single-threaded encoder.
In the single-threaded encoder LZMA_FULL_BARRIER is simply
an alias for LZMA_FULL_FLUSH.

Lasse Collin fef0c6b410 liblzma: Add block_buffer_encoder.h into Makefile.inc.
This should have been in b465da5988.

Lasse Collin 8083e03291 xz: Add a missing test for TUKLIB_DOSLIKE. 2013-09-17 11:55:38 +03:00
Lasse Collin 6b44b4a775 Add native threading support on Windows.
Now liblzma only uses "mythread" functions and types
which are defined in mythread.h matching the desired
threading method.

Before Windows Vista, there is no direct equivalent to
pthread condition variables. Since this package doesn't
use pthread_cond_broadcast(), pre-Vista threading can
still be kept quite simple. The pre-Vista code doesn't
use anything that wasn't already available in Windows 95,
so the binaries should run even on Windows 95 if someone
happens to care.

Lasse Collin ae0ab74a88 Build: Remove a comment about Automake 1.10 from configure.ac.
The previous commit supports silent rules and that requires
Automake 1.11.
2013-09-11 14:40:35 +03:00
Lasse Collin 72975df6c8 Build: Create liblzma.pc in a src/liblzma/Makefile.am.
Previously it was done in configure, but doing that goes
against the Autoconf manual. Autoconf requires that it is
possible to override e.g. prefix after running configure
and that doesn't work correctly if liblzma.pc is created
by configure.

A potential downside of this change is that now e.g.
libdir in liblzma.pc is a standalone string instead of
being defined via ${prefix}, so if one overrides prefix
when running pkg-config the libdir won't get the new value.
I don't know if this matters in practice.

Thanks to Vincent Torri.

Lasse Collin 1c2b6e7e83 Fix the previous commit which broke the build.
Apparently I didn't even compile-test the previous commit.

Thanks to Christian Hesse.

Lasse Collin 124eb69c78 Windows: Add Windows support to tuklib_cpucores().
It is used for Cygwin too. I'm not sure if that is
a good or bad idea.

Lasse Collin dee6ad3d59 xz: Add preliminary support for --flush-timeout=TIMEOUT.
When --flush-timeout=TIMEOUT is used, xz will use
LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH if read() would block and at least
TIMEOUT milliseconds has elapsed since the previous flush.

This can be useful in realtime-like use cases where the
data is simultanously decompressed by another process
(possibly on a different computer). If new uncompressed
input data is produced slowly, without this option xz could
buffer the data for a long time until it would become
decompressible from the output.

If TIMEOUT is 0, the feature is disabled. This is the default.

This commit affects the compression side. Using xz for
the decompression side for the above purpose doesn't work
yet so well because there is quite a bit of input and
output buffering when decompressing.

The --long-help or man page were not updated yet.
The details of this feature may change.

Lasse Collin fa381acaf9 xz: Don't set src_eof=true after an I/O error because it's useless. 2013-07-04 13:41:03 +03:00
Lasse Collin ea00545bea xz: Fix the test when to read more input.
Testing for end of file was no longer correct after full flushing
became possible with --block-size=SIZE and --block-list=SIZES.
There was no bug in practice though because xz just made a few
unneeded zero-byte reads.

Lasse Collin 736903c64b xz: Move some of the timing code into mytime.[hc].
This switches units from microseconds to milliseconds.

New clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) will be used if available.
There is still a fallback to gettimeofday().

Lasse Collin a37ae8b5eb Man pages: Use similar syntax for synopsis as in xz.
The man pages of lzmainfo, xzmore, and xzdec had similar
constructs as the man page of xz had before the commit
eb6ca9854b. Eric S. Raymond
didn't mention these man pages in his bug report, but
it's nice to be consistent.
2013-06-30 18:02:27 +03:00
Lasse Collin cdba9ddd87 xz: Use non-blocking I/O for the output file.
Now both reading and writing should be without
race conditions with signals.

They might still be signal handling issues left.
Signals are blocked during many operations to avoid
EINTR but it may cause problems e.g. if writing to
stderr blocks when trying to display an error message.
