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.
This is incompatible with the 8.3 support patch made by
Juan Manuel Guerrero. I think this one is nicer, but
I need to get feedback from DOS users before saying
that this is the final version of 8.3 filename support.
Try to avoid overwriting the source file if --force is
used and the generated destination filename refers to
the source file. This can happen with 8.3 filenames where
extra characters are ignored.
If the generated output file refers to a special file
like "con" or "prn", refuse to write to it even if --force
is used.
It leaks old filter options structures (hundred bytes or so)
every time the lzma_stream is reinitialized. With the xz tool,
this happens when compressing multiple files.
The decoder considered empty LZMA2 streams to be corrupt.
This shouldn't matter much with .xz files, because no encoder
creates empty LZMA2 streams in .xz. This bug is more likely
to cause problems in applications that use raw LZMA2 streams.
It didn't work at all. It tried to use the -q option
for grep, but it appended it after "--". This works
around it by redirecting to /dev/null. The downside
is that this can be slower with big files compared
to proper use of "grep -q".
Thanks to Gregory Margo.
xz didn't compress setuid/setgid/sticky files and files
with multiple hard links even with --force. This bug was
introduced in 23ac2c44c3.
Thanks to Charles Wilson.
Currently the file list generated by Doxygen has src/ at the
beginning of each path. Paths like common/sysdefs.h and
liblzma/api/lzma.h are easier to read without such a prefix.
Builds from a separate build directory with
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
doxygen Doxyfile
include an even longer prefix /home/someone/src/xz/src; this
patch has the nice side-effect of eliminating that prefix, too.
