liblzma and xz can't be compiled as a unity/jumbo build because of
redeclarations and type name reuse. The CMake documentation recommends
setting UNITY_BUILD to false in this case.
This is especially important if we're compiled as a subproject and the
consumer wants to use CMAKE_UNITY_BUILD=ON for the rest of their code
base.

See the comment. In this package, locale is set at program startup and
not changed later, so the point (2) in the comment isn't a problem.

xzdec isn't translated and doesn't need libintl on Windows even
when NLS is enabled, thus libintl_setlocale() cannot interfere
with the locale settings. Thus, standard setlocale() works perfectly.
In the commit 78868b6e, the explanation in the commit message is wrong.
Fixes: 78868b6ed63fa4c89f73e3dfed27abfb8b0d46db
Only leave the FindFileFirstA() notes from 20dfca81, reverting
the incorrect setlocale() notes. On Windows, Gettext's <libintl.h>
overrides setlocale() with libintl_setlocale() wrapper. I hadn't
noticed this, and thus my conclusions were wrong.

Call tuklib_mask_nonprint() on filenames and also on a few other
strings from the command line too.
The filename printed by "xz --robot --list" (in list.c) is also masked.
It's good to get rid of tabs and newlines which would desync the output
but masking other chars wouldn't be strictly necessary. It might matter
with sensible filenames if LC_CTYPE is "C" (when iswprint() might reject
non-ASCII chars) and a script wants to read a filename from xz's output.
Hopefully it's an unusual enough corner case to not be a real problem.
Malicious filenames or other untrusted strings may affect the state of
the terminal when such strings are printed as part of (error) messages.
Add functions that mask such characters.
It's not enough to handle only single-byte control characters.
In multibyte locales, some control characters are multibyte too, for
example, terminals interpret C1 control characters (U+0080 to U+009F)
that are two bytes as UTF-8.
Instead of checking for control characters with iswcntrl(), this
uses iswprint() to detect printable characters. This is much stricter.
On Windows it's actually too strict as it rejects some characters that
definitely are printable.
Gnulib's quotearg would do a lot more but I hope this simpler method
is good enough here.
Thanks to Ryan Colyer for the discussion about the problems of
the earlier single-byte-only method.
Thanks to Christian Weisgerber for reporting a bug in an earlier
version of this code.
Thanks to Jeroen Roovers for a typo fix.

Most of the auto-wrapped strings are translated already. A few
strings have changed since this was created though. This file
isn't in the Translation Project *yet* because these strings
are still very new.
Closes: https://github.com/tukaani-project/xz/pull/145
Automatic word wrapping makes translators' work easier and reduces
errors like misaligned columns or overlong lines. Right-to-left
languages and languages that don't use spaces between words will
still need extra effort. (xz hasn't been translated to any RTL
language so far.)
If wcwidth() isn't available (Windows), previously it was assumed
that one byte == one column in the terminal. Now it is assumed that
one multibyte character == one column. This works better with UTF-8.
Languages that only use single-width characters without any combining
characters should work correctly with this.
In xz, none of po/*.po contain combining characters and only ko.po,
zh_CN.po, and zh_TW.po contain fullwidth characters. Thus, "only"
those three translations in xz are broken on Windows with the
UTF-8 code page. Broken means that column headings in xz -lvv and
(only in the master branch) strings in --long-help are misaligned,
so it's not a huge problem. I don't know if those three languages
displayed perfectly before the UTF-8 change because I hadn't tested
translations with native Windows builds before.

xzdec isn't translated and didn't have locale-specific behavior
in the past. On Windows with UTF-8 in the application manifest,
setting the locale makes a difference though:
- Without any setlocale() call, non-ASCII filenames don't display
properly in Command Prompt unless one first uses "chcp 65001"
to set the console code page to UTF-8.
- setlocale(LC_ALL, "") is enough to make non-ASCII filenames
print correctly in Command Prompt without using "chcp 65001",
assuming that the non-UTF-8 code page (like 850) supports
those non-ASCII characters.
- setlocale(LC_ALL, ".UTF8") is even better because then mbrtowc() and
such functions use an UTF-8 locale instead of a legacy code page.
The tuklib_gettext_setlocale() macro takes care of this (without
enabling any translations).
Fixes: 46ee0061629fb075d61d83839e14dd193337af59
XZ Utils 5.6.3 set the active code page to UTF-8 to fix CVE-2024-47611.
This wasn't paired with UCRT-specific setlocale(LC_ALL, ".UTF8"), thus
non-ASCII characters from translations became mojibake.

If the early pledge() call on OpenBSD fails, it calls my_errorf()
which requires the "progname" variable.

With CMake 3.31, there were a few warnings from
CMP0177 "install() DESTINATION paths are normalized".
These occurred because the install(FILES) command in
my_install_man_lang() is called with a DESTINATION path
that contains two consecutive slashes, for example,
"share/man//man1". Such a path is for the English man pages.
With translated man pages, the language code goes between
the slashes. The warning was probably triggered because the
extra slash gets removed by the normalization.
The release files are signed but verifying the signatures cannot
catch certain types of attacks:
1. A malicious maintainer could make more than one variant of
a package. One could be for general distribution. Another
with malicious content could be targeted to specific users,
for example, distributing the malicious version on a mirror
controlled by the attacker.
2. If the signing key of an honest maintainer was compromised
without being detected, a similar situation as described
above could occur.
SHA256SUMS could be put on the project website but having it in
the Git repository makes it obvious that old lines aren't modified
when the file is updated.
Hashes of uncompressed files are included too. This way tarballs
can be recompressed and the hashes can still be verified.
One of the reasons to have this file in the xz repository was to
show vulnerability reporting info in the Security section on GitHub.
On 2024-11-25, I added SECURITY.md to the tukaani-project organization
on GitHub:
https://github.com/tukaani-project/.github/blob/main/SECURITY.md
GitHub shows that file in all projects in the organization unless
overridden by a project-specific SECURITY.md. Thus, removing
the file from the xz repo makes GitHub show the organization-wide
text instead.
Maintaining a single copy for the whole GitHub organization makes
things simpler. It's also nicer to have fewer GitHub-specific files
in the xz repo. Information how to report bugs (including security
issues) is available in README and on the home page too.
The OpenSSF Scorecard tool didn't find .github/SECURITY.md from the
xz repository. There was a suggestion to move the file to the top-level
directory where Scorecard should find it. However, Scorecard does find
the organization-wide SECURITY.md. Thus, the file isn't needed in the
xz repository to score points in the Scorecard game:

v5.2 didn't build with CMake. Other branches had
include(CMakePushCheckState) in top-level CMakeLists.txt
which made the build work.

IMPORTANT: This includes a security fix to command line tool
argument handling.
Some toolchains embed an application manifest by default to declare
UAC-compliance. Some also declare compatibility with Vista/8/8.1/10/11
to let the app access features newer than those of Vista.
We want all the above but also two more things:
- Declare that the app is long path aware to support paths longer
than 259 characters (this may also require a registry change).
- Force the code page to UTF-8. This allows the command line tools
to access files whose names contain characters that don't exist
in the current legacy code page (except unpaired surrogates).
The UTF-8 code page also fixes security issues in command line
argument handling which can be exploited with malicious filenames.
See the new file w32_application.manifest.comments.txt.
Thanks to Orange Tsai and splitline from DEVCORE Research Team
for discovering this issue.
Thanks to Vijay Sarvepalli for reporting the issue to me.
Thanks to Kelvin Lee for testing with MSVC and helping with
the required build system fixes.
Now the information in the "Details" tab in the file properties
dialog matches the naming convention of Cygwin and MSYS2. This
is only a cosmetic change.
Autotools-based build has always done this so this is for consistency.
However, the CMake build won't create the DEF file when building
for Cygwin or MSYS2 because in that context it should be useless.
(If Cygwin or MSYS2 is used to host building of normal Windows
binaries then the DEF file is still created.)
