This broke 32-bit builds due to a pointer type mismatch.
This bug was introduced with the output-size-limited encoding
in 625f4c7c99.
Thanks to huangqinjin for the bug report.
With this it is possible to encode LZMA1 data without EOPM so that
the encoder will encode as much input as it can without exceeding
the specified output size limit. The resulting LZMA1 stream will
be a normal LZMA1 stream without EOPM. The actual uncompressed size
will be available to the caller via the uncomp_size pointer.
One missing thing is that the LZMA layer doesn't inform the LZ layer
when the encoding is finished and thus the LZ may read more input
when it won't be used. However, this doesn't matter if encoding is
done with a single call (which is the planned use case for now).
For proper multi-call encoding this should be improved.
This commit only adds the functionality for internal use.
Nothing uses it yet.
The comment didn't match the value of RC_SYMBOLS_MAX and the value
itself was slightly larger than actually needed. The only harm
about this was that memory usage was a few bytes larger.
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.
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.
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.
misunderstanding of the code. There's no tiny fix for this
problem, so I also cleaned up the code in general.
This reduces the speed of the encoder 2-5 % in the fastest
compression mode ("lzma -1"). High compression modes should
have no noticeable performance difference.
This commit breaks things (especially LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH) but I
will fix them once the new format and LZMA2 has been roughly
implemented. Plain LZMA won't support LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH at all
and won't be supported in the new .lzma format. This may
change still but this is what it looks like now.
Support for known uncompressed size (that is, LZMA or LZMA2
without EOPM) is likely to go away. This means there will
be API changes.
These changes implement support for LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH in LZMA
encoder, and move the temporary buffer needed by range encoder
from lzma_range_encoder structure to lzma_lz_encoder.
