Standardizing each function to always specify parameters and return
values. Also moved the parameters and return values to the end of each
function description.
On MicroBlaze, GCC 12 is broken in sense that
__has_attribute(__symver__) returns true but it still doesn't
support the __symver__ attribute even though the platform is ELF
and symbol versioning is supported if using the traditional
__asm__(".symver ...") method. Avoiding the traditional method is
good because it breaks LTO (-flto) builds with GCC.

For now the only extra symbols in liblzma_linux.map are the
compatibility symbols with the patch that spread from RHEL/CentOS 7.
These require the use of __symver__ attribute or __asm__(".symver ...")
in the C code. Compatibility with the patch from CentOS 7 doesn't
seem valuable on MicroBlaze so use liblzma_generic.map on MicroBlaze
instead. It doesn't require anything special in the C code and thus
no LTO issues either.
An alternative would be to detect support for __symver__
attribute in configure.ac and CMakeLists.txt and fall back
to __asm__(".symver ...") but then LTO would be silently broken
on MicroBlaze. It sounds likely that MicroBlaze is a special
case so let's treat it as a such because that is simpler. If
a similar issue exists on some other platform too then hopefully
someone will report it and this can be reconsidered.
(This doesn't do the same fix in CMakeLists.txt. Perhaps it should
but perhaps CMake build of liblzma doesn't matter much on MicroBlaze.
The problem breaks the build so it's easy to notice and can be fixed
later.)
Thanks to Vincent Fazio for reporting the problem and proposing
a patch (in the end that solution wasn't used):

Use "member" to refer to struct members as that's the term used
by the C standard.
Use lzma_options_delta.dist and such in docs so that in Doxygen's
HTML output they will link to the doc of the struct member.
Clean up a few trailing white spaces too.
It gives C4146 here since unary minus with unsigned integer
is still unsigned (which is the intention here). Doing it
with substraction makes it clearer and avoids the warning.
Thanks to Nathan Moinvaziri for reporting this.
Standardizing each function to always specify parameters and return
values. Also moved the parameters and return values to the end of each
function description.
A few small things were reworded and long sentences broken up.
All functions now explicitly specify parameter and return values.
Also moved the note about SHA-256 functions not being exported to the
top of the file.
Now, the LZMA_VERSION_MAJOR, LZMA_VERSION_MINOR, and LZMA_VERSION_PATCH
macros do not need to be on consecutive lines in version.h. They can be
separated by more whitespace, comments, or even other content, as long
as they appear in the proper order (major, minor, patch).
The bug is only a problem in applications that do not properly terminate
the filters[] array with LZMA_VLI_UNKNOWN or have more than
LZMA_FILTERS_MAX filters. This bug does not affect xz.
Added a few sentences to the description for lzma_block_encoder() and
lzma_block_decoder() to highlight that the Block Header must be coded
before calling these functions.
Standardizing each function to always specify params and return values.
Output pointer parameters are also marked with doxygen style [out] to
make it clear. Any note sections were also moved above the parameter and
return sections for consistency.
The flag description for LZMA_STR_NO_VALIDATION was previously confusing
about the treatment for filters than cannot be used with .xz format
(lzma1) without using LZMA_STR_ALL_FILTERS. Now, it is clear that
LZMA_STR_NO_VALIDATION is not a super set of LZMA_STR_ALL_FILTERS.
The workflow action for our CI pipeline can only reference artifacts in
the source directory, so we should ignore these files if the ci_build.sh
is run locally.
This way, if xz is stopped the elapsed time and estimated time
remaining won't get confused by the amount of time spent in
the stopped state.
This raises SIGSTOP. It's not clear to me if this is the correct way.
POSIX and glibc docs say that SIGTSTP shouldn't stop the process if
it is orphaned but this commit doesn't attempt to handle that.
Search for SIGTSTP in section 2.4.3:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/V2_chap02.html
The previous documentation for lzma_str_to_filters() was technically
correct, but misleading. lzma_str_to_filters() returns NULL on success,
which is in practice always defined to 0. This is the same value as
LZMA_OK, but lzma_str_to_filters() does not return lzma_ret so we should
be more clear.
