lzma_vli is unsigned so trying a signed value results in
a compiler warning from -Wsign-conversion. (lzma_vli)-1
equals to LZMA_VLI_UNKNOWN anyway which is the next assertion.
Created tests for all API functions exported in
src/liblzma/api/lzma/hardware.h. The tests are fairly trivial
but are helpful because they will inform users if their machines
cannot support these functions. They also improve the code
coverage metrics.
test_compress.sh now takes one command line argument:
a filename to be tested. If it begins with "compress_generated_"
the file will be created with create_compress_files.
This will allow parallel execution of the slow tests.
If a command line argument is given, then only the test file
of that type is created. It's quite dumb in sense that unknown
names don't give an error but it's good enough here.
Also use EXIT_FAILURE instead of 1 as exit status for errors.
Hiding them makes no sense since normally there's no error
when testing the "good" files. With "bad" files errors are
expected and then it makes sense to keep the messages hidden.
lzma_code() could incorrectly return LZMA_BUF_ERROR if
all of the following was true:
- The caller knows how many bytes of output to expect
and only provides that much output space.
- When the last output bytes are decoded, the
caller-provided input buffer ends right before
the LZMA2 end of payload marker. So LZMA2 won't
provide more output anymore, but it won't know it
yet and thus won't return LZMA_STREAM_END yet.
- A BCJ filter is in use and it hasn't left any
unfiltered bytes in the temp buffer. This can happen
with any BCJ filter, but in practice it's more likely
with filters other than the x86 BCJ.
Another situation where the bug can be triggered happens
if the uncompressed size is zero bytes and no output space
is provided. In this case the decompression can fail even
if the whole input file is given to lzma_code().
A similar bug was fixed in XZ Embedded on 2011-09-19.
The scripts are now made executable in the build tree.
This way the scripts can be run like programs in
test_scripts.sh. Previously test_scripts.sh always
used sh but it's not correct if @POSIX_SHELL@ is set
to something else by configure.
Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for the patch.
xzdiff was clobbering the exit status from diff in a case
statement used to analyze the exit statuses from "xz" when
its operands were two compressed files. Save and restore
diff's exit status to fix this.
The bug is inherited from zdiff in GNU gzip and was fixed
there on 2009-10-09.
Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for the patch and
to Peter Pallinger for reporting the bug.
Most distros want xz linked against shared liblzma, so
it doesn't help much to require --enable-dynamic for that.
Those who want to avoid PIC on x86-32 to get better
performance, can still do it e.g. by using --disable-shared
to compile xz and then another pass to compile shared liblzma.
Part of these static/dynamic tricks were needed for Windows
in the past. Nowadays we rely on GCC and binutils to do the
right thing with auto-import. If the Autotooled build system
needs to support some other toolchain on Windows in the future,
this may need some rethinking.
Testing compression at level -4 now requires 48 MiB of free store at
compression time and 5 MiB at decompression time.
