It's more robust in case the compiler allows pre-C99 implicit function
declarations. If an x86 intrinsic is missing and gets treated as
implicit function, the linking step will very probably fail. This
isn't the only way to workaround implicit function declarations but
it might be the simplest and cleanest.
The problem hasn't been observed in the wild.
There are a couple more AC_COMPILE_IFELSE uses in configure.ac.
Of these, Landlock check calls prctl() and in theory could have
the same problem. In practice it doesn't as the check program
looks for several other things too. However, it was changed to
AC_LINK_IFELSE still to look more correct.
Similarly, m4/tuklib_cpucores.m4 and m4/tuklib_physmem.m4 were
updated although they haven't given any trouble either. They
have worked all these years because those check programs rely
on specific headers and types: if headers or types are missing,
compilation will fail. Using the linker makes these checks more
similar to the ones in cmake/tuklib_*.cmake which always link.
This removes support for FreeBSD 10.0 and 10.1 which used
<sys/capability.h> instead of <sys/capsicum.h>. Support for
FreeBSD 10.1 ended on 2016-12-31. So now FreeBSD >= 10.2 is
required to enable Capsicum support.
This also removes support for Capsicum on Linux (libcaprights)
which seems to have been unmaintained since 2017 and Linux 4.11:

PowerPC64LE wasn't tested but it seems like a safe change.
POWER8 supports unaligned access in little endian mode. Testing
on godbolt.org shows that GCC uses unaligned access by default.
The RISC-V macro __riscv_misaligned_fast is very new and not
in any stable compiler release yet.
Documentation in INSTALL was updated to match.
Documentation about an autodetection bug when using ARM64 GCC
with -mstrict-align was added to INSTALL.
CMake files weren't updated yet.
HAVE_DECL_PROGRAM_INVOCATION_NAME is renamed to
HAVE_PROGRAM_INVOCATION_NAME. Previously,
HAVE_DECL_PROGRAM_INVOCATION_NAME was always set when
building with autotools. CMake would only set this when it was 1, and the
dos/config.h did not define it. The new macro definition is consistent
across build systems.
On OpenBSD the number of cores online is often less
than what HW_NCPU would return because OpenBSD disables
simultaneous multi-threading (SMT) by default.
Thanks to Christian Weisgerber.
tuklib_cpucores.c and tuklib_physmem.c don't include <sys/types.h>
even via other files in this package, so clearly that header isn't
needed in the tests either (no one has reported build problems due
to a missing header in a .c file).
Appears that this file used to get included as a side effect of
gettext. After the change to gettext version requirements this file
no longer got copied to the package and so the build was broken.
Add a configure option --enable-unsafe-type-punning to get the
old non-conforming memory access methods. It can be useful with
old compilers or in some other less typical situations but
shouldn't normally be used.
Omit the packed struct trick for unaligned access. While it's
best in some cases, this is simpler. If the memcpy trick doesn't
work, one can request unsafe type punning from configure.
Because CRC32/CRC64 code needs fast aligned reads, if no very
safe way to do it is found, type punning is used as a fallback.
This sucks but since it currently works in practice, it seems to
be the least bad option. It's never needed with GCC >= 4.7 or
Clang >= 3.6 since these support __builtin_assume_aligned and
thus fast aligned access can be done with the memcpy trick.
Other things:
- Support GCC/Clang __builtin_bswapXX
- Cleaner bswap fallback macros
- Minor cleanups
It's available in glibc (GNU/Linux, GNU/kFreeBSD). It's better
than sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) because sched_getaffinity()
gives the number of cores available to the process instead of
the total number of cores online.
As a side effect, this commit fixes a bug on GNU/kFreeBSD where
configure would detect the FreeBSD-specific cpuset_getaffinity()
but it wouldn't actually work because on GNU/kFreeBSD it requires
using -lfreebsd-glue when linking. Now the glibc-specific function
will be used instead.
Thanks to Sebastian Andrzej Siewior for the original patch
and testing.
AU_ALIAS was removed because the new version is incompatible
with the old version.
It no longer checks for <sys/capability.h> separately.
It's enough to test for it as part of AC_CHECK_DECL.
The defines HAVE_CAPSICUM_SYS_CAPSICUM_H and
HAVE_CAPSICUM_SYS_CAPABILITY_H were removed as unneeded.
HAVE_SYS_CAPSICUM_H from AC_CHECK_HEADERS is enough.
It no longer does a useless search for the Capsicum library
if the header wasn't found.
Fixed a bug in ACTION-IF-FOUND (the first argument). Specifying
the argument omitted the default action but the given action
wasn't used instead.
AC_DEFINE([HAVE_CAPSICUM]) is now always called when Capsicum
support is found. Previously it was part of the default
ACTION-IF-FOUND which a custom action would override. Now
the default action only prepends ${CAPSICUM_LIB} to LIBS.
The documentation was updated.
Since there as no serial number, "#serial 2" was added.
The earlier version compiled but didn't actually work
since sysconf(_SC_PHYS_PAGES) always fails (or so I was told).
Thanks to Ole André Vadla Ravnås for the patch and testing.
It tried to use sysctl() on QNX but
- it broke the build because sysctl() needs -lsocket on QNX;
- sysctl() doesn't work for detecting the core count on QNX
even if it compiled.
sysconf() works. An alternative would have been to use
QNX-specific SYSPAGE_ENTRY(num_cpu) from <sys/syspage.h>.
Thanks to Ole André Vadla Ravnås.
In FreeBSD, cpuset_getaffinity() is the preferred way to get
the number of available cores.
Thanks to Rui Paulo for the patch. I edited it slightly, but
hopefully I didn't break anything.
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.
Don't use #error to generate compile error, because some
compilers actually don't take it as an error. This fixes
tuklib_physmem on IRIX.
Fix incorrect error check for sysconf() return values.
Add AIX, HP-UX, and Tru64 specific code to detect the
amount RAM.
Add HP-UX specific code to detect the number of CPU cores.
Thanks a lot to Peter O'Gorman for initial patches,
testing, and debugging these fixes.
which now use AC_CACHE_CHECK. Using the cache variable,
configure now warns if there is no method to detect the amount
of RAM and recommends using --enable-assume-ram.
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
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.
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.
