The patch is quite long but it's mostly about adding new #ifdefs
to omit code when encoders or decoders have been disabled.
This adds two new #defines to config.h: HAVE_ENCODERS and
HAVE_DECODERS.
People shouldn't rely on the presets when decoding raw streams,
but xz uses the presets as the starting point for raw decoder
options anyway.
lzma_encocder_presets.c was renamed to lzma_presets.c to
make it clear it's not used solely by the encoder code.
This reverts commit 7a11c4a8e5.
It is a problem when libc has pipe2() but the kernel is too
old to have pipe2() and thus pipe2() fails. In xz it's pointless
to have a fallback for non-functioning pipe2(); it's better to
avoid pipe2() completely.
Thanks to Michael Fox for the bug report.
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.
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.
It's a problem at least on OpenBSD which doesn't support
O_NONBLOCK on e.g. /dev/null. I'm not surprised if it's
a problem on other OSes too since this behavior is allowed
in POSIX-1.2008.
The code relying on this behavior was committed in June 2013
and included in 5.1.3alpha released on 2013-10-26. Clearly
the development releases only get limited testing.
I know that soname != app version, but I skip AGE=1
in -version-info to make the soname match the liblzma
version anyway. It doesn't hurt anything as long as
it doesn't conflict with library versioning rules.
This way an invalid filter chain is detected at the Stream
encoder initialization instead of delaying it to the first
call to lzma_code() which triggers the initialization of
the actual filter encoder(s).
This avoids the possibility of "File name too long" when
creating a temp file when the input file name is very long.
This also means that other users on the system can no longer
see the input file names in /tmp (or whatever $TMPDIR is)
since the temporary directory will have a generic name. This
usually doesn't matter since on many systems one can see
the arguments given to all processes anyway.
The number X chars to mktemp where increased from 6 to 10.
Note that with some shells temp files or dirs won't be used at all.
The behavior of grep -ql varies:
- GNU grep behaves like grep -q.
- OpenBSD grep behaves like grep -l.
POSIX doesn't make it 100 % clear what behavior is expected.
Anyway, using both -q and -l at the same time makes no sense
so both options simply should never be used at the same time.
Thanks to Christian Weisgerber.
POSIX supports $< only in inference rules (suffix rules).
Using it elsewhere is a GNU make extension and doesn't
work e.g. with OpenBSD make.
Thanks to Christian Weisgerber for the patch.
Note that this slightly changes how lzma_block_header_decode()
has been documented. Earlier it said that the .version is set
to the lowest required value, but now it says that the .version
field is kept unchanged if possible. In practice this doesn't
affect any old code, because before this commit the only
possible .version was 0.
