Lasse Collin 43ce4ea7c7 Scripts: Put /usr/xpg4/bin to the beginning of PATH on Solaris.
This adds a configure option --enable-path-for-scripts=PREFIX
which defaults to empty except on Solaris it is /usr/xpg4/bin
to make POSIX grep and others available. The Solaris case had
been documented in INSTALL with a manual fix but it's better
to do this automatically since it is needed on most Solaris
systems anyway.

Thanks to Daniel Richard G.

Lasse Collin 446e4318fa xz: Fix copying of timestamps on Windows.
xz used to call utime() on Windows, but its result gets lost
on close(). Using _futime() seems to work.

Lasse Collin ade31a2bfb Build: Bump GNU Gettext version requirement to 0.19.
It silences a few warnings and most people probably have
0.19 even on stable distributions.

Thanks to Christian Kujau.

Lasse Collin ac398c3baf liblzma: Disable external SHA-256 by default.
This is the sane thing to do. The conflict with OpenSSL
on some OSes and especially that the OS-provided versions
can be significantly slower makes it clear that it was
a mistake to have the external SHA-256 support enabled by
default.

Those who want it can now pass --enable-external-sha256 to
configure. INSTALL was updated with notes about OSes where
this can be a bad idea.

The SHA-256 detection code in configure.ac had some bugs that
could lead to a build failure in some situations. These were
fixed, although it doesn't matter that much now that the
external SHA-256 is disabled by default.

MINIX >= 3.2.0 uses NetBSD's libc and thus has SHA256_Init
in libc instead of libutil. Support for the libutil version
was removed.
2016-03-13 20:21:49 +02:00
Lasse Collin 473ef0dc69 Build: Avoid SHA256_Init on FreeBSD and MINIX 3.
On FreeBSD 10 and older, SHA256_Init from libmd conflicts
with libcrypto from OpenSSL. The OpenSSL version has
different sizeof(SHA256_CTX) and it can cause weird
problems if wrong SHA256_Init gets used.

Looking at the source, MINIX 3 seems to have a similar issue but
I'm not sure. To be safe, I disabled SHA256_Init on MINIX 3 too.

NetBSD has SHA256_Init in libc and they had a similar problem,
but they already fixed it in 2009.

Thanks to Jim Wilcoxson for the bug report that helped
in finding the problem.

Lasse Collin c7bc20a6f3 Build: Disable xzdec, lzmadec, and lzmainfo when they cannot be built.
They all need decoder support and if that isn't available,
there's no point trying to build them.

Lasse Collin 5cbca1205d Build: Simplify $enable_{encoders,decoders} usage a bit. 2015-11-03 20:35:19 +02:00
Lasse Collin cb3111e3ed xz: Make xz buildable even when encoders or decoders are disabled.
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.
2015-11-03 20:29:33 +02:00
Lasse Collin 23ed1d4148 Build: Fix configure to handle LZMA1 dependency with LZMA2.
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.

Lasse Collin cbc9e39bae Build: Minor Cygwin cleanup.
Some tests used "cygwin*" and some used "cygwin". I changed
them all to use "cygwin". Shouldn't affect anything in practice.

Lasse Collin 6bd0349c58 Revert "xz: Use pipe2() if available."
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.
2015-04-20 20:17:48 +03:00
Lasse Collin 1238381143 xz: Add support for sandboxing with Capsicum.
The sandboxing is used conditionally as described in main.c.
This isn't optimal but it was much easier to implement than
a full sandboxing solution and it still covers the most common
use cases where xz is writing to standard output. This should
have practically no effect on performance even with small files
as fork() isn't needed.

C and locale libraries can open files as needed. This has been
fine in the past, but it's a problem with things like Capsicum.
io_sandbox_enter() tries to ensure that various locale-related
files have been loaded before cap_enter() is called, but it's
possible that there are other similar problems which haven't
been seen yet.

Currently Capsicum is available on FreeBSD 10 and later
and there is a port to Linux too.

Thanks to Loganaden Velvindron for help.

Lasse Collin c4911f2db3 Build: Detect supported compiler warning flags better.
Clang and nowadays also GCC accept any -Wfoobar option
but then may give a warning that an unknown warning option
was specified. To avoid adding unsupported warning options,
the options are now tested with -Werror.

Thanks to Charles Diza.

Lasse Collin e1c8f1d01f liblzma: Add lzma_memcmplen() for fast memory comparison.
This commit just adds the function. Its uses will be in
separate commits.

This hasn't been tested much yet and it's perhaps a bit early
to commit it but if there are bugs they should get found quite
quickly.

Thanks to Jun I Jin from Intel for help and for pointing out
that string comparison needs to be optimized in liblzma.

Lasse Collin 56056571df Build: Add --disable-doc to configure. 2014-04-25 17:44:26 +03:00
Lasse Collin 6b44b4a775 Add native threading support on Windows.
Now liblzma only uses "mythread" functions and types
which are defined in mythread.h matching the desired
threading method.

Before Windows Vista, there is no direct equivalent to
pthread condition variables. Since this package doesn't
use pthread_cond_broadcast(), pre-Vista threading can
still be kept quite simple. The pre-Vista code doesn't
use anything that wasn't already available in Windows 95,
so the binaries should run even on Windows 95 if someone
happens to care.

Lasse Collin ae0ab74a88 Build: Remove a comment about Automake 1.10 from configure.ac.
The previous commit supports silent rules and that requires
Automake 1.11.
2013-09-11 14:40:35 +03:00
Lasse Collin 72975df6c8 Build: Create liblzma.pc in a src/liblzma/Makefile.am.
Previously it was done in configure, but doing that goes
against the Autoconf manual. Autoconf requires that it is
possible to override e.g. prefix after running configure
and that doesn't work correctly if liblzma.pc is created
by configure.

A potential downside of this change is that now e.g.
libdir in liblzma.pc is a standalone string instead of
being defined via ${prefix}, so if one overrides prefix
when running pkg-config the libdir won't get the new value.
I don't know if this matters in practice.

Thanks to Vincent Torri.

Lasse Collin 9376f5f8f7 Build: Require Automake 1.12 and use serial-tests option.
It should actually still work with Automake 1.10 if
the serial-tests option is removed. Automake 1.13 started
using parallel tests by default and the option to get
the old behavior isn't supported before 1.12.

At least for now, parallel tests don't improve anything
in XZ Utils but they hide the progress output from
test_compress.sh.
2013-06-26 12:17:00 +03:00
Lasse Collin 97379c5ea7 Build: Use -Wvla with GCC if supported.
Variable-length arrays are mandatory in C99 but optional in C11.
The code doesn't currently use any VLAs and it shouldn't in the
future either to stay compatible with C11 without requiring any
optional C11 features.

Lasse Collin e9ed88126e Run the scripts with the correct shell in test_scripts.sh.
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.

Lasse Collin 492c863455 Build: Make configure print if symbol versioning is enabled or not. 2011-05-28 19:24:56 +03:00
Lasse Collin bd35d903a0 liblzma: Use symbol versioning.
Symbol versioning is enabled by default on GNU/Linux,
other GNU-based systems, and FreeBSD.

I'm not sure how stable this is, so it may need
backward-incompatible changes before the next release.

The idea is that alpha and beta symbols are considered
unstable and require recompiling the applications that
use those symbols. Once a symbol is stable, it may get
extended with new features in ways that don't break
compatibility with older ABI & API.

The mydist target runs validate_map.sh which should
catch some probable problems in liblzma.map. Otherwise
I would forget to update the map file for new releases.

Lasse Collin fe00f95828 Build: Fix checking for system-provided SHA-256. 2011-05-24 00:23:46 +03:00
Lasse Collin b94aa0c838 liblzma: Try to use SHA-256 from the operating system.
If the operating system libc or other base libraries
provide SHA-256, use that instead of our own copy.
Note that this doesn't use OpenSSL or libgcrypt or
such libraries to avoid creating dependencies to
other packages.

This supports at least FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris,
MINIX, and Darwin. They all provide similar but not
identical SHA-256 APIs; everyone is a little different.

Thanks to Wim Lewis for the original patch, improvements,
and testing.
2011-05-21 15:08:44 +03:00
Lasse Collin ec7106309c Build: Fix initialization of enable_check_* variables in configure.ac.
This doesn't matter much in practice since it is unlikely

Lasse Collin 0b77c4a751 Build: Warn if no supported method to detect the number of CPU cores. 2011-04-19 10:44:48 +03:00
Lasse Collin 9c1b05828a Fix portability problems in mythread.h.
Use gettimeofday() if clock_gettime() isn't available
(e.g. Darwin).

The test for availability of pthread_condattr_setclock()
and CLOCK_MONOTONIC was incorrect. Instead of fixing the
#ifdefs, use an Autoconf test. That way if there exists a
system that supports them but doesn't specify the matching
POSIX #defines, the features will still get detected.

Don't try to use pthread_sigmask() on OpenVMS. It doesn't
have that function.

Guard mythread.h against being #included multiple times.
2011-04-19 09:20:44 +03:00
Lasse Collin de678e0c92 liblzma: Add lzma_stream_encoder_mt() for threaded compression.
This is the simplest method to do threading, which splits
the uncompressed data into blocks and compresses them
independently from each other. There's room for improvement
especially to reduce the memory usage, but nevertheless,
this is a good start.
2011-04-11 22:03:30 +03:00
Lasse Collin 9f0a806aef Revise mythread.h.
This adds:

  - mythread_sync() macro to create synchronized blocks

  - mythread_cond structure and related functions
    and macros for condition variables with timed
    waiting using a relative timeout

  - mythread_create() to create a thread with all
    signals blocked

Some of these wouldn't need to be inline functions,
but I'll keep them this way for now for simplicity.

For timed waiting on a condition variable, librt is
now required on some systems to use clock_gettime().
configure.ac was updated to handle this.
2011-04-10 21:23:21 +03:00

Lasse Collin f9907503f8 Build: Remove the static/dynamic tricks.
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.

Lasse Collin bb0b1004f8 xz: Multiple fixes.
The code assumed that printing numbers with thousand separators
and decimal points would always produce only US-ASCII characters.
This was used for buffer sizes (with snprintf(), no overflows)
and aligning columns of the progress indicator and --list. That
assumption was wrong (e.g. LC_ALL=fi_FI.UTF-8 with glibc), so
multibyte character support was added in this commit. The old
way is used if the operating system doesn't have enough multibyte
support (e.g. lacks wcwidth()).

The sizes of buffers were increased to accomodate multibyte
characters. I don't know how big they should be exactly, but
they aren't used for anything critical, so it's not too bad.
If they still aren't big enough, I hopefully get a bug report.
snprintf() takes care of avoiding buffer overflows.

Some static buffers were replaced with buffers allocated on
stack. double_to_str() was removed. uint64_to_str() and
uint64_to_nicestr() now share the static buffer and test
for thousand separator support.

Integrity check names "None" and "Unknown-N" (2 <= N <= 15)
were marked to be translated. I had forgot these, plus they
wouldn't have worked correctly anyway before this commit,
because printing tables with multibyte strings didn't work.

Thanks to Marek Černocký for reporting the bug about
misaligned table columns in --list output.

I'm too lazy to think how to make a good Autoconf test

Inline assembler (if any) is used if a macro like

Lasse Collin c74c132f7f Update tuklib_cpucores.m4 and tuklib_physmem.m4 from tuklib,

2009-11-20 12:51:19 +02:00
Lasse Collin ebfb2c5e1f Use a tuklib module for integer handling.
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.

Separate a few reusable components from XZ Utils specific
code. The reusable code is now in "tuklib" modules. A few
more could be separated still, e.g. bswap.h.

Fix some bugs in lzmainfo.

Fix physmem and cpucores code on OS/2. Thanks to Elbert Pol

Lasse Collin 71f18e8a06 Make --enable-dynamic a tristate option.
Some programs will by default be linked against static
liblzma and some against shared liblzma. --enable-dynamic
now allows overriding the default to both directions
(all dynamic or all static) even when building both
shared and static liblzma.

This is quite messy compared to how simple thing it is supposed
to be. The complexity is mostly due to Windows support.
2009-08-13 15:00:21 +03:00
Lasse Collin e51b4e49e8 Add lzmainfo for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
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.
2009-08-13 12:55:45 +03:00
Lasse Collin 4c9c989d45 Use AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR to clean up the toplevel directory

Lasse Collin 96e4b257e1 Major update to the xzgrep and other scripts based on
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.
2009-07-05 22:25:17 +03:00
Lasse Collin 0a289c01ac Define PACKAGE_HOMEPAGE in configure.ac and use it in

Lasse Collin f42ee98166 Build system fixes
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.

Lasse Collin cf751edfde Added AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR to configure.ac. 2009-03-01 09:00:06 +02:00
Lasse Collin 3084d662d2 Cleanups to the code that detects the amount of RAM and
the number of CPU cores. Added support for using sysinfo()
on Linux systems whose libc lacks appropriate sysconf()
support (at least dietlibc). The Autoconf macros were
split into separate files, and CPU core count detection
was moved from hardware.c to cpucores.h. The core count
isn't used for anything real for now, so a problematic
part in process.c was commented out.
2009-02-14 00:45:29 +02:00
Lasse Collin fdbc0cfa71 Changed how the version number is specified in various places.
Now configure.ac will get the version number directly from
src/liblzma/api/lzma/version.h. The intent is to reduce the
number of places where the version number is duplicated. In
future, support for displaying Git commit ID may be added too.
2009-02-13 18:00:03 +02:00
Lasse Collin a3bbbe05d3 Let the user specify custom CFLAGS on the make command
line. Previously custom CFLAGS worked only when they were
passed to configure.
2009-02-09 14:54:31 +02:00
Lasse Collin 880c330938 Make it easy to choose if command line tools should be
linked statically or dynamically against liblzma. The
default is still to use static liblzma, but it can now
be changed by passing --enable-dynamic to configure.
Thanks to Mike Frysinger for the original patch.

Fixed a few minor bugs in configure.ac.
2009-02-07 21:17:07 +02:00
Lasse Collin 99c1c2abfa Updated the x86 assembler code:
- Use call/ret pair to get instruction pointer for PIC.
  - Use PIC only if PIC or __PIC__ is #defined.
  - The code should work on MinGW and Darwin in addition
    to GNU/Linux and Solaris.
2009-02-02 21:19:01 +02:00
Lasse Collin 4fd43cb3a9 Bumped version to 4.999.8beta right after the release
of 4.999.7beta.
2008-12-31 20:01:00 +02:00
Lasse Collin 9c45658ddc Disable both Subblock encoder and decoder my default,
since they are not finished and may have security issues too.
2008-12-31 17:44:20 +02:00
Lasse Collin d1d17a40d3 Prepare for 4.999.7beta release. 2008-12-31 17:41:46 +02:00
Lasse Collin 7eea8bec3a Fixed missing quoting in configure.ac. 2008-12-31 00:57:27 +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.
2008-12-31 00:30:49 +02:00
Lasse Collin 1ceebcf7e1 Name the package "xz" in configure.ac. 2008-12-13 00:54:11 +02:00
Lasse Collin a94bf00d0a Some adjustments to GCC warning flags. The important change
is the removal of -pedantic. It messes up -Werror (which I
really want to keep so that I don't miss any warnings) with
printf format strings that are in POSIX but not in C99.
2008-12-12 22:43:21 +02:00
Lasse Collin 54f716ba89 Added missing check for uint16_t. 2008-11-19 23:55:22 +02:00
Lasse Collin 1880a3927b Renamed lzma to xz and lzmadec to xzdec. We create symlinks
lzma, unlzma, and lzcat in "make install" for backwards
compatibility with LZMA Utils 4.32.x; I'm not sure if this
should be the default though.
2008-11-19 23:52:24 +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
2008-11-19 20:46:52 +02:00
Lasse Collin 1dcecfb09b Some API changes, bug fixes, cleanups etc. 2008-09-27 19:09:21 +03:00
Lasse Collin 9373e81e18 Bumped version to 4.999.6alpha. 2008-09-10 19:16:32 +03:00
Lasse Collin 3b34851de1 Sort of garbage collection commit. :-| Many things are still
broken. API has changed a lot and it will still change a
little more here and there. The command line tool doesn't
have all the required changes to reflect the API changes, so
it's easy to get "internal error" or trigger assertions.
2008-08-28 22:53:15 +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.
2008-06-18 18:02:10 +03:00
Lasse Collin ed6664146f Remove support for pre-C89 libc versions that lack memcpy,
memmove, and memset.
2008-05-11 14:24:42 +03:00
Lasse Collin b09464bf9a Improved C99 compiler detection in configure.ac. It will
pass -std=gnu99 instead of -std=c99 to GCC now, but -pedantic
should still give warnings about GNU extensions like before
except with some special keywords like asm().
2008-05-11 14:17:21 +03:00
Lasse Collin 8f804c29aa Bumped version number to 4.999.3alpha. It will become 5.0.0
once we have a stable release (won't be very soon). The
version number is no longer related to version of LZMA SDK.

Made some small Automake-related changes to toplevel
Makefile.am and configure.ac.
2008-04-25 13:32:35 +03:00
Lasse Collin 641998c3e1 Replaced the range decoder optimization that used arithmetic
right shift with as fast version that doesn't need
arithmetic right shift. Removed the related check from
configure.ac.
2008-03-24 16:38:40 +02:00
Lasse Collin 03e0e8a0d7 Added autoconf check to detect if we can use arithmetic
right shift for optimizations.
2008-03-22 14:18:29 +02:00
Lasse Collin 61dc82f3e3 Added the debug directory and the first debug tool
(sync_flush). These tools are not built unless the
user runs "make" in the debug directory.
