Lasse Collin 1a7ec87c8e Revised the Index handling code.
This breaks API and ABI but most apps are not affected
since most apps don't use this part of the API. You will
get a compile error if you are using anything that got
broken.

Summary of changes:

  - Ability to store Stream Flags, which are needed
    for random-access reading in multi-Stream files.

  - Separate function to set size of Stream Padding.

  - Iterator structure makes it possible to read the same
    lzma_index from multiple threads at the same time.

  - A lot faster code to locate Blocks.

  - Removed lzma_index_equal() without adding anything
    to replace it. I don't know what it should do exactly
    with the new features and what actually needs this
    function in the first place other than test_index.c,
    which now has its own code to compare lzma_indexes.

Lasse Collin 8767b41534 Fix a memory leak in test_index.c.
This was introduced in
bd13b04e20.

Thanks to Jim Meyering for noticing it.

Lasse Collin bd13b04e20 Fix bugs in lzma_index_read() and lzma_index_cat().
lzma_index_read() didn't skip over Stream Padding
if it was the first record in the Index.

lzma_index_cat() didn't combine small Indexes correctly.

The test suite was updated to check for these bugs.

These bugs didn't affect the xz command line tool or
most users of liblzma in any way.

Lasse Collin 02ddf09bc3 Put the interesting parts of XZ Utils into the public domain.
Some minor documentation cleanups were made at the same time.

Lasse Collin 9ec80355a7 Add some single-call buffer-to-buffer coding functions. 2009-01-20 16:37:27 +02:00
Lasse Collin 7ed9d943b3 Remove lzma_init() and other init functions from liblzma API.
Half of developers were already forgetting to use these
functions, which could have caused total breakage in some future
liblzma version or even now if --enable-small was used. Now
liblzma uses pthread_once() to do the initializations unless
it has been built with --disable-threads which make these
initializations thread-unsafe.

When --enable-small isn't used, liblzma currently gets needlessly
linked against libpthread (on systems that have it). While it is
stupid for now, liblzma will need threads in future anyway, so
this stupidity will be temporary only.

When --enable-small is used, different code CRC32 and CRC64 is
now used than without --enable-small. This made the resulting
binary slightly smaller, but the main reason was to clean it up
and to handle the lack of lzma_init_check().

The pkg-config file lzma.pc was renamed to liblzma.pc. I'm not
sure if it works correctly and portably for static linking
(Libs.private includes -pthread or other operating system
specific flags). Hopefully someone complains if it is bad.

lzma_rc_prices[] is now included as a precomputed array even
with --enable-small. It's just 128 bytes now that it uses uint8_t
instead of uint32_t. Smaller array seemed to be at least as fast
as the more bloated uint32_t array on x86; hopefully it's not bad
on other architectures.

Lasse Collin 671a5adf1e Bunch of liblzma API cleanups and fixes. 2008-12-15 19:39:13 +02:00
Lasse Collin e114502b2b Oh well, big messy commit again. Some highlights:
- Updated to the latest, probably final file format version.
  - Command line tool reworked to not use threads anymore.
    Threading will probably go into liblzma anyway.
  - Memory usage limit is now about 30 % for uncompression
    and about 90 % for compression.
  - Progress indicator with --verbose
  - Simplified --help and full --long-help
  - Upgraded to the last LGPLv2.1+ getopt_long from gnulib.
  - Some bug fixes

Lasse Collin 13a74b78e3 Renamed constants:
- LZMA_VLI_VALUE_MAX -> LZMA_VLI_MAX
  - LZMA_VLI_VALUE_UNKNOWN -> LZMA_VLI_UNKNOWN
  - LZMA_HEADER_ERRRO -> LZMA_OPTIONS_ERROR
2008-09-13 12:10:43 +03:00
Lasse Collin 7d17818cec Update the code to mostly match the new simpler file format
specification. Simplify things by removing most of the
support for known uncompressed size in most places.
There are some miscellaneous changes here and there too.

The API of liblzma has got many changes and still some
more will be done soon. While most of the code has been
updated, some things are not fixed (the command line tool
will choke with invalid filter chain, if nothing else).

Subblock filter is somewhat broken for now. It will be
updated once the encoded format of the Subblock filter
has been decided.
