Legacy Windows did not need to #include <intrin.h> to use the MSVC
intrinsics. Newer versions likely just issue a warning, but the MSVC
documentation says to include the header file for the intrinsics we use.
GCC and Clang can "pretend" to be MSVC on Windows, so extra checks are
needed in tuklib_integer.h to only include <intrin.h> when it will is
actually needed.
Clang has support for __builtin_clz(), but previously Clang would
fallback to either the MSVC intrinsic or the regular C code. This was
discovered due to a bug where a new version of Clang required the
<intrin.h> header file in order to use the MSVC intrinsics.
Thanks to Anton Kochkov for notifying us about the bug.
Using the aligned methods requires more care to ensure that
the address really is aligned, so it's nicer if the aligned
methods are prefixed. The next commit will remove the unaligned_
prefix from the unaligned methods which in liblzma are used in
more places than the aligned ones.
Add a configure option --enable-unsafe-type-punning to get the
old non-conforming memory access methods. It can be useful with
old compilers or in some other less typical situations but
shouldn't normally be used.
Omit the packed struct trick for unaligned access. While it's
best in some cases, this is simpler. If the memcpy trick doesn't
work, one can request unsafe type punning from configure.
Because CRC32/CRC64 code needs fast aligned reads, if no very
safe way to do it is found, type punning is used as a fallback.
This sucks but since it currently works in practice, it seems to
be the least bad option. It's never needed with GCC >= 4.7 or
Clang >= 3.6 since these support __builtin_assume_aligned and
thus fast aligned access can be done with the memcpy trick.
Other things:
- Support GCC/Clang __builtin_bswapXX
- Cleaner bswap fallback macros
- Minor cleanups
Now memcpy() or GNU C packed structs for unaligned access instead
of type punning. See the comment in this commit for details.
Avoiding type punning with unaligned access is needed to
silence gcc -fsanitize=undefined.
New functions: unaliged_readXXne and unaligned_writeXXne where
XX is 16, 32, or 64.
This replaces bswap.h and integer.h.
The tuklib module uses <byteswap.h> on GNU,
<sys/endian.h> on *BSDs and <sys/byteorder.h>
on Solaris, which may contain optimized code
like inline assembly.
