This affects only 32-bit x86 builds. x86-64 is OK as is.
I still cannot easily test this myself. The reporter has tested
this and it passes the tests included in the CMake build and
performance is good: raw CRC64 is 2-3 times faster than the
C version of the slice-by-four method. (Note that liblzma doesn't
include a MSVC-compatible version of the 32-bit x86 assembly code
for the slice-by-four method.)
Thanks to Iouri Kharon for figuring out a fix, testing, and
benchmarking.
This reverts commit 36edc65ab4.
It was reported that it wasn't a good enough fix and MSVC
still produced (different kind of) bad code when building
for 32-bit x86 if optimizations are enabled.
Thanks to Iouri Kharon.
It quite probably was never needed, that is, any system where memory.h
was required likely couldn't compile XZ Utils for other reasons anyway.
XZ Utils 5.2.6 and later source packages were generated using
Autoconf 2.71 which no longer defines HAVE_MEMORY_H. So the code
being removed is no longer used anyway.
This is combined from the following commits in the master branch:
443dfebced6b117d3b1f5e34774c31
Thanks to Iouri Kharon for the bug report, the original patch,
and testing.
Here are the list of the most significant issues addressed:
- Avoid using internal common.h header. It's not good to copy the
constants like this but common.h cannot be included for use outside
of liblzma. This is the quickest thing to do that could be fixed later.
- Omit the INIT_FILTER macro. Initialization should be done with just
regular designated initializers.
- Use start_offset = 257 for BCJ tests. It demonstrates that Filter
Flags encoder and decoder don't validate the options thoroughly.
257 is valid only for the x86 filter. This is a bit silly but
not a significant problem in practice because the encoder and
decoder initialization functions will catch bad alignment still.
Perhaps this should be fixed but it's not urgent and doesn't need
to be in 5.4.x.
- Various tweaks to comments such as filter id -> Filter ID
It's not needed in XZ Utils at least for now. It's good to support
it still because if such use is needed later, it wouldn't be
caught on GNU/Linux since malloc(0) from glibc returns non-NULL.
The command line tools cannot be built with MSVC for now but
they can be built with MinGW-w64.
Thanks to Iouri Kharon for the bug report and the original patch.
I haven't tested with MSVC myself and there doesn't seem to be
information about the problem online, so I'm relying on the bug report.
Thanks to Iouri Kharon for the bug report and the patch.
common/index.h is needed by liblzma internally and tests. common.h will
include and define many things that are not needed by the tests.
Also, this prevents include order problems because both common.h and
lzma.h define LZMA_API. On most platforms it results only in a warning
but on Windows it would break the build as the definition in common.h
must be used only for building liblzma itself.
The shell parameter expansion using # and ## is not supported in
Solaris 10 Bourne shell (/bin/sh). Even though this is POSIX, it is not fully
portable, so we should avoid it.
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.
Previously, <sys/time.h> was always included, even if mythread only used
clock_gettime. <time.h> is still needed even if clock_gettime is not used
though because struct timespec is needed for mythread_condtime.
Previously, if threading was enabled HAVE_DECL_CLOCK_MONOTONIC would always
be set to 0 or 1. However, this macro was needed in xz so if xz was not
built with threading and HAVE_DECL_CLOCK_MONOTONIC was not defined but
HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME was, it caused a warning during build. Now,
HAVE_DECL_CLOCK_MONOTONIC has been renamed to HAVE_CLOCK_MONOTONIC and
will only be set if it is 1.
Using return_if_error on lzma_lzma_lclppb_encode was improper because
return_if_error is expecting an lzma_ret value, but
lzma_lzma_lclppb_encode returns a boolean. This could result in
lzma_microlzma_encoder, which would be misleading for applications.
Using CMake to build liblzma should work on a few other OSes
but building the command line tools is still subtly broken.
It is known that shared library versioning may differ between
CMake and Libtool builds on some OSes, most notably Darwin.
