This fixes "make install" on operating systems using
a suffix for executables.
Cygwin is treated specially. The symlink names won't have
.exe suffix even though the executables themselves have.
Thanks to Charles Wilson.
the function call succeeded.
NetBSD 4.0 returns positive values on success, but
NetBSD Current and FreeBSD return zero. OpenBSD's
man page doesn't tell what sysctl() returns on
success. All these BSDs return -1 on error.
Thanks to Robert Elz and Thomas Klausner.
and use a fix that works on all systems using
GNU assembler.
Maybe the assembler code is used e.g. on Solaris x86
but let's worry about it if this doesn't work on it.
Seems that in addition on Windows and DOS, also OpenBSD
lacks support for %'d style printf() format strings.
So far that is the only modern POSIX-like system I know
with this problem, but after this hack, the thousand
separator shouldn't be a problem on any system.
Maybe testing if a format string like %'d produces
reasonable output is invoking undefined behavior on some
systems, but so far all the problematic systems I've tried
just print the raw format string (e.g. %'d prints 'd).
Maybe Autoconf test would have been better, but this
hack works also for cross-compilation, and avoids
recompilation in case the system libc starts to support
the thousand separator.
Added lzma_nothrow for every function. It adds
throw() when the header is used in C++ code.
Some lzma_attrs were added or removed.
Lots of comments were improved.
lzmainfo now links against static liblzma. In contrast
to other command line tools in XZ Utils, linking lzmainfo
against static liblzma by default is dumb. This will be
fixed once I have fixed some related issues in configure.ac.
Attempts to compare two compressed files result in no output and
exit status 2.
Instead of going to standard output, ‘diff’ output is being
captured in the xz_status variable along with the exit status from
the decompression commands. Later, when this variable is examined
for nonzero status codes, numerals from dates in the ‘diff’ output
make it appear as though decompression failed.
So let the ‘diff’ output leak to standard output with another file
descriptor. (This trick is used in all similar contexts elsewhere
in xzdiff and in the analogous context in gzip’s zdiff script.)
It can be somewhat confusing that
less < some_file.txt
works fine, whereas
xzless < some_file.txt.xz
does not. Since version 429, ‘less’ allows a filter specified in
the LESSOPEN environment variable to preprocess its input even if
it comes from standard input, if $LESSOPEN begins with ‘|-’. So
set $LESSOPEN to take advantage of this feature.
Check less’s version at runtime so xzless can continue to work
with older versions.
This is a quick and slightly dirty fix to make the code
conform to the latest file format specification. Without
this patch, it's possible to make corrupt files by
specifying start offset that is not a multiple of the
filter's alignment. Custom start offset is almost never
used, so this was only a minor bug.
The xz command line tool doesn't validate the start offset,
so one will get a bit unclear error message if trying to use
an invalid start offset.
like "un", "cat", and "lz" when determining if
xz is run as unxz, xzcat, lzma, unlzma, or lzcat.
This is to ensure that if xz is renamed (e.g. via
--program-transform-name), it doesn't so easily
work in wrong mode.
It was ignored for compatibility with xz, but now that
--decompress --stdout --force copies unrecognized files
as is to stdout, simply ignoring --force in xzdec would
be wrong. xzdec will not support copying unrecognized
data as is to stdout, so it cannot support --force.
use AC_PROG_SED. We don't do anything fancy with sed,
so this should work OK. libtool 2.2 sets SED but 1.5
doesn't, so $(SED) happened to work when using libtool 2.2.
the latest versions found from gzip CVS repository.
configure will try to find a POSIX shell to be used by
the scripts. This should ease portability on systems
which have pre-POSIX /bin/sh.
xzgrep and xzdiff support .xz, .lzma, .gz, and .bz2 files.
xzmore and xzless support only .xz and .lzma files.
The name of the xz executable used in these scripts is
now correct even if --program-transform-name has been used.
files as is to standard output.
This feature is needed to be more compatible with gzip's
behavior. This was more complicated to implement than it
sounds, because the way liblzma is able to return errors with
files of only a few bytes in size. xz now has its own file
type detection code and no longer uses lzma_auto_decoder().
Don't use libtool convenience libraries to avoid recently
discovered long-standing subtle but somewhat severe bugs
in libtool (at least 1.5.22 and 2.2.6 are affected). It
was found when porting XZ Utils to Windows
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2009-06/msg00070.html>
but the problem is significant also e.g. on GNU/Linux.
Unless --disable-shared is passed to configure, static
library built from a set of convenience libraries will
contain PIC objects. That is, while libtool builds non-PIC
objects too, only PIC objects will be used from the
convenience libraries. On 32-bit x86 (tested on mobile XP2400+),
using PIC instead of non-PIC makes the decompressor 10 % slower
with the default CFLAGS.
So while xz was linked against static liblzma by default,
it got the slower PIC objects unless --disable-shared was
used. I tend develop and benchmark with --disable-shared
due to faster build time, so I hadn't noticed the problem
in benchmarks earlier.
This commit also adds support for building Windows resources
into liblzma and executables.
