d5653ba8a1 Fix test_compress.sh.
It broke when --memory option was removed from xzdec.

Thanks to Jonathan Nieder.

792331bdee Disable the memory usage limiter by default.
For several people, the limiter causes bigger problems that
it solves, so it is better to have it disabled by default.
Those who want to have a limiter by default need to enable
it via the environment variable XZ_DEFAULTS.

Support for environment variable XZ_DEFAULTS was added. It is
parsed before XZ_OPT and technically identical with it. The
intended uses differ quite a bit though; see the man page.

The memory usage limit can now be set separately for
compression and decompression using --memlimit-compress and
--memlimit-decompress. To set both at once, -M or --memlimit
can be used. --memory was retained as a legacy alias for
--memlimit for backwards compatibility.

The semantics of --info-memory were changed in backwards
incompatible way. Compatibility wasn't meaningful due to
changes in the memory usage limiter functionality.

The memory usage limiter info is no longer shown at the
bottom of xz --long -help.

The memory usage limiter support for removed completely from xzdec.

xz's man page was updated to match the above changes. Various
unrelated fixes were also made to the man page.

bab0f01ed9 Add two simple example programs.
Hopefully these help a bit when learning the basics
of liblzma API. I plan to write detailed examples about
both basic and advanced features with lots of comments,
but these two examples are good have right now.

The examples were written by Daniel Mealha Cabrita. Thanks.

b5fbab6123 Silence a bogus Valgrind warning.
When using -O2 with GCC, it liked to swap two comparisons
in one "if" statement. It's otherwise fine except that
the latter part, which is seemingly never executed, got
executed (nothing wrong with that) and then triggered
warning in Valgrind about conditional jump depending on
uninitialized variable. A few people find this annoying
so do things a bit differently to avoid the warning.

d8a55c48b3 Remove the Subblock filter code for now.

back once the spec is done.

b6377fc990 Split message_filters().
message_filters_to_str() converts the filter chain to
a string. message_filters_show() replaces the original
message_filters().

uint32_to_optstr() was also added to show the dictionary
size in nicer format when possible.

6548e30465 Updates to tuklib_physmem and tuklib_cpucores.
Don't use #error to generate compile error, because some
compilers actually don't take it as an error. This fixes
tuklib_physmem on IRIX.

Fix incorrect error check for sysconf() return values.

Add AIX, HP-UX, and Tru64 specific code to detect the
amount RAM.

Add HP-UX specific code to detect the number of CPU cores.

Thanks a lot to Peter O'Gorman for initial patches,
testing, and debugging these fixes.

a290cfee3e Show both elapsed time and estimated remaining time in xz -v.
The extra space for showing both has been taken from the
sizes field. If the sizes grow big, bigger units than MiB
will be used. It makes it slightly difficult to see that
progress is still happening with huge files, but it should
be OK in practice.

Thanks to Trent W. Buck for <http://bugs.debian.org/574583>

cf38da00a1 Treat all integer multiplier suffixes as base-2.
Originally both base-2 and base-10 were supported, but since
there seems to be little need for base-10 in XZ Utils, treat
everything as base-2 and also be more relaxed about the case
of the first letter of the suffix. Now xz will accept e.g.
KiB, Ki, k, K, kB, and KB, and interpret them all as 1024. The
recommended spelling of the suffixes are still KiB, MiB, and GiB.

00fc1211ae Consistently round up the memory usage limit in messages.
It still feels a bit wrong to round 1 byte to 1 MiB but
at least it is now done consistently so that the same
byte value is always rounded the same way to MiB.

9886d436ff Change the default of --enable-assume-ram from 32 to 128 MiB.
This is to allow files created with "xz -9" to be decompressed
if the amount of RAM cannot be determined.

2672bcc9f8 Increase the default memory usage limit on "low-memory" systems.
Previously the default limit was always 40 % of RAM. The
new limit is a little bit more complex:

  - If 40 % of RAM is at least 80 MiB, 40 % of RAM is used
    as the limit.

  - If 80 % of RAM is over 80 MiB, 80 MiB is used as the limit.

  - Otherwise 80 % of RAM is used as the limit.

This should make it possible to decompress files created with
"xz -9" on more systems. Swapping is generally more expected
on systems with less RAM, so higher default limit on them
shouldn't cause too bad surprises in terms of heavy swapping.
Instead, the higher default limit should reduce the number of
bad surprises when it used to prevent decompression of files
created with "xz -9". The DoS prevention system shouldn't be
a DoS itself.

Note that even with the new default limit, a system with 64 MiB
RAM cannot decompress files created with "xz -9" without user
overriding the limit. This should be OK, because if xz is going
to need more memory than the system has RAM, it will run very
very slowly and thus it's good that user has to override the limit
in that case.

d0d1c51aea Fix missing initialization in lzma_strm_init().
With bad luck, lzma_code() could return LZMA_BUF_ERROR
when it shouldn't.

This has been here since the early days of liblzma.
It got triggered by the modifications made to the xz
tool in commit 18c10c30d2
but only when decompressing .lzma files. Somehow I managed
to miss testing that with Valgrind earlier.

This fixes <http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305591>.
