When optimizing, GCC can reorder code so that an uninitialized
value gets used in a comparison, which makes Valgrind unhappy.
It doesn't happen when compiled with -O0, which I tend to use
when running Valgrind.
Thanks to Rich Prohaska. I remember this being mentioned long
ago by someone else but nothing was done back then.
The patch is quite long but it's mostly about adding new #ifdefs
to omit code when encoders or decoders have been disabled.
This adds two new #defines to config.h: HAVE_ENCODERS and
HAVE_DECODERS.
People shouldn't rely on the presets when decoding raw streams,
but xz uses the presets as the starting point for raw decoder
options anyway.
lzma_encocder_presets.c was renamed to lzma_presets.c to
make it clear it's not used solely by the encoder code.
Now it gives an error if LZMA1 encoder/decoder is missing
when LZMA2 encoder/decoder was requested. Even better would
be LZMA2 implicitly enabling LZMA1 but it would need more code.
As pointed out by Robert Pollak, there's a typo in the German
translation of the compression preset option (-0 ... -9) help text.
"The compressor" translates to "der Komprimierer", and the genitive
form is "des Komprimierers". The old word makes no sense at all.
Provide an update of the German translation.
* A lot of compound words were previously written with spaces, while
German orthography is relatively clear in that the components
should not be separated.
* When referring to the actual process of (de)compression rather than the
concept, replace “(De-)Kompression” with “(De-)Komprimierung”.
Previously, both forms were used in this context and are now used in a
manner consistent with “Komprimierung” being more likely to refer to
a process.
* Consistently translate “standard input”/“output”
* Use “Zeichen” instead of false friend “Charakter” for “character”
* Insert commas around relative clauses (as required in German)
* Some other minor corrections
* Capitalize “ß” as “ẞ”
* Consistently start option descriptions in --help with capital letters

This reverts commit 7a11c4a8e5.
It is a problem when libc has pipe2() but the kernel is too
old to have pipe2() and thus pipe2() fails. In xz it's pointless
to have a fallback for non-functioning pipe2(); it's better to
avoid pipe2() completely.
Thanks to Michael Fox for the bug report.
The earlier version compiled but didn't actually work
since sysconf(_SC_PHYS_PAGES) always fails (or so I was told).
Thanks to Ole André Vadla Ravnås for the patch and testing.
It tried to use sysctl() on QNX but
- it broke the build because sysctl() needs -lsocket on QNX;
- sysctl() doesn't work for detecting the core count on QNX
even if it compiled.
sysconf() works. An alternative would have been to use
QNX-specific SYSPAGE_ENTRY(num_cpu) from <sys/syspage.h>.
Thanks to Ole André Vadla Ravnås.
In FreeBSD, cpuset_getaffinity() is the preferred way to get
the number of available cores.
Thanks to Rui Paulo for the patch. I edited it slightly, but
hopefully I didn't break anything.
