Lasse Collin 69fd4e1c93 Windows: Add MSVC defines for inline and restrict keywords. 2014-01-12 17:04:33 +02:00
Lasse Collin a19d9e8575 liblzma: Avoid C99 compound literal arrays.
MSVC 2013 doesn't like them. Maybe they aren't so good
for readability either since many aren't used to them.

Lasse Collin e28528f1c8 liblzma: Remove a useless C99ism from sha256.c.
Unsurprisingly it makes no difference in compiled output.

Lasse Collin 5ad1effc45 xz: Fix use of wrong variable.
Since the only call to suffix_set() uses optarg
as the argument, fixing this bug doesn't change
the behavior of the program.

Lasse Collin dd750acbe2 xz: Make --block-list and --block-size work together in single-threaded.
Previously, --block-list and --block-size only worked together
in threaded mode. Boundaries are specified by --block-list, but
--block-size specifies the maximum size for a Block. Now this
works in single-threaded mode too.

Thanks to James M Leddy for the original patch.

Lasse Collin 841da0352d xz: Document behavior of --block-list with threads.
This needs to be updated before 5.2.0.

Lasse Collin 56feb8665b xz: Document --flush-timeout=TIMEOUT on the man page. 2013-10-22 20:03:12 +03:00
Lasse Collin ba413da1d5 xz: Take advantage of LZMA_FULL_BARRIER with --block-list.
Now if --block-list is used in threaded mode, the encoder
won't need to flush at each Block boundary specified via
--block-list. This improves performance a lot, making
threading helpful with --block-list.

The flush timer was reset after LZMA_FULL_FLUSH but since
LZMA_FULL_BARRIER doesn't flush, resetting the timer is
no longer done.

Lasse Collin 0cd45fc2bc liblzma: Support LZMA_FULL_FLUSH and _BARRIER in threaded encoder.
Now --block-list=SIZES works with in the threaded mode too,
although the performance is still bad due to the use of
LZMA_FULL_FLUSH instead of the new LZMA_FULL_BARRIER.
2013-10-02 20:05:23 +03:00
Lasse Collin 97bb38712f liblzma: Add LZMA_FULL_BARRIER support to single-threaded encoder.
In the single-threaded encoder LZMA_FULL_BARRIER is simply
an alias for LZMA_FULL_FLUSH.

Lasse Collin 8083e03291 xz: Add a missing test for TUKLIB_DOSLIKE. 2013-09-17 11:55:38 +03:00
Lasse Collin 6b44b4a775 Add native threading support on Windows.
Now liblzma only uses "mythread" functions and types
which are defined in mythread.h matching the desired
threading method.

Before Windows Vista, there is no direct equivalent to
pthread condition variables. Since this package doesn't
use pthread_cond_broadcast(), pre-Vista threading can
still be kept quite simple. The pre-Vista code doesn't
use anything that wasn't already available in Windows 95,
so the binaries should run even on Windows 95 if someone
happens to care.

Lasse Collin ae0ab74a88 Build: Remove a comment about Automake 1.10 from configure.ac.
The previous commit supports silent rules and that requires
Automake 1.11.

Lasse Collin 72975df6c8 Build: Create liblzma.pc in a src/liblzma/Makefile.am.
Previously it was done in configure, but doing that goes
against the Autoconf manual. Autoconf requires that it is
possible to override e.g. prefix after running configure
and that doesn't work correctly if liblzma.pc is created
by configure.

A potential downside of this change is that now e.g.
libdir in liblzma.pc is a standalone string instead of
being defined via ${prefix}, so if one overrides prefix
when running pkg-config the libdir won't get the new value.
I don't know if this matters in practice.

Thanks to Vincent Torri.

Lasse Collin 1c2b6e7e83 Fix the previous commit which broke the build.
Apparently I didn't even compile-test the previous commit.

Thanks to Christian Hesse.

Lasse Collin 124eb69c78 Windows: Add Windows support to tuklib_cpucores().
It is used for Cygwin too. I'm not sure if that is
a good or bad idea.

Lasse Collin dee6ad3d59 xz: Add preliminary support for --flush-timeout=TIMEOUT.
When --flush-timeout=TIMEOUT is used, xz will use
LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH if read() would block and at least
TIMEOUT milliseconds has elapsed since the previous flush.

This can be useful in realtime-like use cases where the
data is simultanously decompressed by another process
(possibly on a different computer). If new uncompressed
input data is produced slowly, without this option xz could
buffer the data for a long time until it would become
decompressible from the output.

If TIMEOUT is 0, the feature is disabled. This is the default.

This commit affects the compression side. Using xz for
the decompression side for the above purpose doesn't work
yet so well because there is quite a bit of input and
output buffering when decompressing.

The --long-help or man page were not updated yet.
The details of this feature may change.

Lasse Collin fa381acaf9 xz: Don't set src_eof=true after an I/O error because it's useless. 2013-07-04 13:41:03 +03:00
Lasse Collin ea00545bea xz: Fix the test when to read more input.
Testing for end of file was no longer correct after full flushing
became possible with --block-size=SIZE and --block-list=SIZES.
There was no bug in practice though because xz just made a few
unneeded zero-byte reads.

Lasse Collin 736903c64b xz: Move some of the timing code into mytime.[hc].
This switches units from microseconds to milliseconds.

New clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) will be used if available.
There is still a fallback to gettimeofday().

Lasse Collin a37ae8b5eb Man pages: Use similar syntax for synopsis as in xz.
The man pages of lzmainfo, xzmore, and xzdec had similar
constructs as the man page of xz had before the commit
eb6ca9854b. Eric S. Raymond
didn't mention these man pages in his bug report, but
it's nice to be consistent.

Lasse Collin cdba9ddd87 xz: Use non-blocking I/O for the output file.
Now both reading and writing should be without
race conditions with signals.

They might still be signal handling issues left.
Signals are blocked during many operations to avoid
EINTR but it may cause problems e.g. if writing to
stderr blocks when trying to display an error message.

Lasse Collin e61a5c95da xz: Fix return value type in io_write_buf().
It didn't affect the behavior of the code since -1
becomes true anyway.
2013-06-28 23:56:17 +03:00
Lasse Collin 9dc319eabb xz: Use the self-pipe trick to avoid a race condition with signals.
It is possible that a signal to set user_abort arrives right
before a blocking system call is made. In this case the call
may block until another signal arrives, while the wanted
behavior is to make xz clean up and exit as soon as possible.

After this commit, the race condition is avoided with the
input side which already uses non-blocking I/O. The output
side still uses blocking I/O and thus has the race condition.

Lasse Collin a616fdad34 xz: Fix error detection of fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, flags) calls.
POSIX says that fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, flags) returns -1 on
error and "other than -1" on success. This is how it is
documented e.g. on OpenBSD too. On Linux, success with
F_SETFL is always 0 (at least accorinding to fcntl(2)
from man-pages 3.51).

Lasse Collin 4a08a6e4c6 xz: Fix use of wrong variable in a fcntl() call.
Due to a wrong variable name, when writing a sparse file
to standard output, *all* file status flags were cleared
(to the extent the operating system allowed it) instead of
only clearing the O_APPEND flag. In practice this worked
fine in the common situations on GNU/Linux, but I didn't
check how it behaved elsewhere.

The original flags were still restored correctly. I still
changed the code to use a separate boolean variable to
indicate when the flags should be restored instead of
relying on a special value in stdout_flags.

Lasse Collin b790b435da xz: Fix assertion related to posix_fadvise().
Input file can be a FIFO or something else that doesn't
support posix_fadvise() so don't check the return value
even with an assertion. Nothing bad happens if the call
to posix_fadvise() fails.

Lasse Collin 84d2da6c9d xz: Check the value of lzma_stream_flags.version in --list.
It is a no-op for now, but if an old xz version is used
together with a newer liblzma that supports something new,
then this check becomes important and will stop the old xz
from trying to parse files that it won't understand.
2013-06-26 13:30:57 +03:00
Lasse Collin 9376f5f8f7 Build: Require Automake 1.12 and use serial-tests option.
It should actually still work with Automake 1.10 if
the serial-tests option is removed. Automake 1.13 started
using parallel tests by default and the option to get
the old behavior isn't supported before 1.12.

At least for now, parallel tests don't improve anything
in XZ Utils but they hide the progress output from
test_compress.sh.
