Clang 16.0.0 and earlier have a bug that the ifunc resolver function
triggers the -Wunused-function warning. The resolver function is static
and only "used" by the __attribute__((__ifunc()__)).
At this time, the bug is still unresolved, but has been reported:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/63957
This is not a problem in GCC.
This further improves the documentation from commit
f36ca7982f. The previous wording of
"supported options" was slightly misleading since the options that are
printed are the ones that are relevant for encoding/decoding. It is not
about which options can or must be specified.
The new Tests section describes basic information about the tests, how
to run them, and important details when cross compiling. We have had a
few questions about how to compile the tests without running them, so
hopefully this information will help others with the same question in the
future.
Fixes: https://github.com/tukaani-project/xz/issues/54
The Memory limit information section described three output
columns when it actually has six. This was reworded to
"multiple" to make it more future proof.
* Moved max_block_list_size from a global to local variable.
* Reworded error message in validate_block_list_filter().
* Removed helper function filter_chain_error().
* Changed 1 << X to 1U << X in many places
The order is now consistent with the order the command line arguments
are documented earlier in the man page. The new order is:
1. --list
2. --info-memory
3. --version
Instead of the previous order:
1. --version
2. --info-memory
3. --list
The --filters-help can be used to help create filter chains with the
--filters and --filtersX options. The message in --long-help is too
short to fully explain the syntax to construct complex filter chains.
In --robot mode, xz will only print the output from liblzma function
lzma_str_list_filters.
The --block-list option description needed updating since the new
--filtersX option changes how it can be used. The new entry for
--filters1=FILTERS ... --filter9=FILTERS was created right after
the --filters option.
If a filter chain is set but not used in --block-list, it introduced
unexpected behavior such as requiring an unneeded amount of memory to
compress, reducing the number of threads in multi-threaded encoding, and
printing an incorrect amount of memory needed to decompress.
This also renames filters_init_mask => filters_used_mask. A filter is
assumed to be used if it is specified in --filtersX until
coder_set_compression_settings() determines which filters are referenced
in --block-list.
When opt_block_size is not used, the Block size for mt encoder is
derived from the minimum of the largest Block specified by
--block-list and the recommended Block size on all filter chains
calculated by lzma_mt_block_size(). This avoids using unnecessary
memory and ensures that all Blocks are large enough for the most memory
needy filter chain.
Previously, only the default filter chain could have its memory usage
adjusted. The filter chains specified with --filtersX were not checked
for memory usage. Now, all used filter chains will be adjusted if
necessary.
The block splitting logic and split_block() function are not needed if
encoders are disabled. This will help slightly reduce the binary size
when built without encoders and allow split_block() to use functions
that require encoders being enabled.
This will only free filter chains created with --filters1-9 since the
default filter chain may be set from a static function variable. The
complexity to free the default filter chain is not worth the burden on
code maintenance.
The new command line options are meant to be combined with --block-list.
They work as an optional extension to --block-list to specify a custom
filter chain for each block listed. The new options allow the creation
of up to 9 reusable filter chains. For instance:
xz --block-list=1:10MiB,3:5MiB,,2:5MiB,1:0 --filters1=delta--lzma2 \
--filters2=x86--lzma2 --filters3=arm64--lzma2
Will create the following blocks:
1. A block of size 10 MiB with filter chain delta, lzma2.
2. A block of size 5 MiB with filter chain arm64, lzma2.
3. A block of size 5 MiB with filter chain arm64, lzma2.
4. A block of size 5 MiB with filter chain x86, lzma2.
5. A block containing the rest of the file contents with filter chain
delta, lzma2.
This is a little cleaner than the previous implementation of
forget_filter_chain(). It is also more consistent since
lzma_str_to_filters() will always terminate the filter chain so there
is no need to terminate it later in coder_set_compression_settings().
The --filters option uses the new lzma_str_to_filters() function
to convert a string into a full filter chain. Using this option
will reset all previous filters set by --preset, --[filter], or
--filters.
Fixed a bug where test_compress_* would all fail if arm64 or armthumb
filters were enabled for compression but arm was disabled. Since the
grep tests only checked for "define HAVE_ENCODER_ARM", this would match
on HAVE_ENCODER_ARM64 or HAVE_ENCODER_ARMTHUMB.
Now the config.h feature test requires " 1" at the end to prevent the
prefix problem. have_feature() was also updated for this even though
there were known current bugs affecting it. This is just in case future
features have a similar prefix problem.
Commit 78704f36e7 added an empty
initializer {} to prevent a warning. The empty initializer is a GNU
extension and results in a build failure on MSVC. The -wpedantic flag
warns about empty initializers.
Several tests were missing calls to lzma_index_end() to clean up the
lzma_index structs. The memory leaks were discovered by using
-fsanitize=address with GCC.
test_block_header was not properly freeing the filter options between
calls to lzma_block_header_decode(). The memory leaks were discovered by
using -fsanitize=address with GCC.
This change only impacts the compiler warning since it was impossible
for the wait_abs struct in stream_encode_mt() to be used before it was
initialized since mythread_condtime_set() will always be called before
mythread_cond_timedwait().
Since the mythread.h code is different between the POSIX and
Windows versions, this warning was only present on Windows builds.
Thanks to Arthur S for reporting the warning and providing an initial
patch.
In lzma_memcmplen(), the <intrin.h> header file is only included if
_MSC_VER and _M_X64 are both defined but _BitScanForward64() was
previously used if _M_X64 was defined. GCC for MSYS2 defines _M_X64 but
not _MSC_VER so _BitScanForward64() was used without including
<intrin.h>.
Now, lzma_memcmplen() will use __builtin_ctzll() for MSYS2 GCC builds as
expected.
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.
