Only a subset of the tests run by the Linux and MacOS Autotools builds
are run. The most interesting tests are the ones that disable threads,
encoders, and decoders.
The Windows runner will only be run manually since these tests will
likely take much longer than the Linux and MacOS runners. This runner
should be used before merging any large features and before releases.
Currently the clang64 environment fails to due to a warning and
-Werror is enabled for the CI tests. This is still an early version
since the CMake build can be done for MSVC and optionally each of the
MSYS2 environments. GitHub does not allow manually running the CI tests
unless the workflow is checked on the default branch so checking in a
minimum version is a good idea.
Thanks to Arthur S for the original proposing the original patch.
Closes: https://github.com/tukaani-project/xz/pull/34
ci_build.sh was updated to accept disabling of __attribute__ ifunc
and CLMUL. This will allow -fsanitize=address to pass because ifunc
is incompatible with -fsanitize=address. The CLMUL implementation has
optimizations that potentially read past the buffer and mask out the
unwanted bytes.
This test will only run on Autotools Linux.
Now, CMake will run similar feature disable tests that the Autotools
version did before. In order to do this without repeating lines in
ci.yml, it now makes sense to use the GitHub Workflow matrix to create
a loop.
The 32-bit build needs to be first so the configure cache only needs to
be reset one time. The 32-bit build sets the CFLAGS env variable, so any
build using that flag after will fail unless the cache is reset.
Disabling shared library generation and linking should help speed up the
runners. The shared library is still being tested in the 32 bit build
and the full feature.
Disabling nls is to check for any unexpected warnings or errors.
The old version used too many runners that resulted in unnecessary
dependency downloads. Now, the runners are reused for the different
configurations for each OS and build system.
The CI/CD workflow will only execute on Ubuntu and MacOS latest version.
The workflow will attempt to build with autotools and CMake and execute
the tests. The workflow will run for all pull requests and pushes done
to the master branch.
