I had hoped to keep liblzma as purely a compression
library as possible (e.g. file I/O will go into
a different library), but it seems that applications
linking agaisnt liblzma need some way to determine
the memory usage limit, and knowing the amount of RAM
is one reasonable way to help making such decisions.
Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for the original patch.
Originally the idea was that using LZMA_FULL_FLUSH
with Stream encoder would read the filter chain
from the same array that was used to intialize the
Stream encoder. Since most apps wouldn't use
LZMA_FULL_FLUSH, most apps wouldn't need to keep
the filter chain available after initializing the
Stream encoder. However, due to my mistake, it
actually required keeping the array always available.
Since setting the new filter chain via the array
used at initialization time is not a nice way to do
it for a couple of reasons, this commit ditches it
and introduces lzma_filters_update(). This new function
replaces also the "persistent" flag used by LZMA2
(and to-be-designed Subblock filter), which was also
an ugly thing to do.
Thanks to Alexey Tourbin for reminding me about the problem
that Stream encoder used to require keeping the filter
chain allocated.
This will be needed internally by liblzma once I fix
a design mistake in the encoder API. This function may
be useful to applications too so it's good to export it.
A minus sign is larger, easier to see in a printout, and more
likely to use the same glyph as ASCII hyphen-minus in a terminal
than a hyphen. Since broken manual pagers do not find hyphens
when the user searches for a hyphen-minus, minus signs are also
easier to search for. So use minus signs instead of hyphens to
render sample terminal output.
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.
Seems that it is a problem in some cases if the same
version of XZ Utils produces different output on different
endiannesses, so this commit fixes that problem. The output
will still vary between different XZ Utils versions, but I
cannot avoid that for now.
This commit bloatens the code on big endian systems by 1 KiB,
which should be OK since liblzma is bloated already. ;-)
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
for help.
Add OpenVMS support into physmem. Add a few #ifdefs to ease
building XZ Utils on OpenVMS. Thanks to Jouk Jansen for the
original patch.
This fixes "make install" on operating systems using
a suffix for executables.
Cygwin is treated specially. The symlink names won't have
.exe suffix even though the executables themselves have.
Thanks to Charles Wilson.
the function call succeeded.
NetBSD 4.0 returns positive values on success, but
NetBSD Current and FreeBSD return zero. OpenBSD's
man page doesn't tell what sysctl() returns on
success. All these BSDs return -1 on error.
Thanks to Robert Elz and Thomas Klausner.
and use a fix that works on all systems using
GNU assembler.
Maybe the assembler code is used e.g. on Solaris x86
but let's worry about it if this doesn't work on it.
Seems that in addition on Windows and DOS, also OpenBSD
lacks support for %'d style printf() format strings.
So far that is the only modern POSIX-like system I know
with this problem, but after this hack, the thousand
separator shouldn't be a problem on any system.
Maybe testing if a format string like %'d produces
reasonable output is invoking undefined behavior on some
systems, but so far all the problematic systems I've tried
just print the raw format string (e.g. %'d prints 'd).
Maybe Autoconf test would have been better, but this
hack works also for cross-compilation, and avoids
recompilation in case the system libc starts to support
the thousand separator.
