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.

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.
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.
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.
Boost iostream uses `find_package` in quiet mode and then again uses
`find_package` with required. This second call triggers a
`add_library cannot create imported target "LibLZMA::LibLZMA"
because another target with the same name already exists.`
This can simply be fixed by skipping the alias part on secondary
`find_package` runs.
Legacy Windows did not need to #include <intrin.h> to use the MSVC
intrinsics. Newer versions likely just issue a warning, but the MSVC
documentation says to include the header file for the intrinsics we use.
GCC and Clang can "pretend" to be MSVC on Windows, so extra checks are
needed in tuklib_integer.h to only include <intrin.h> when it will is
actually needed.
Clang has support for __builtin_clz(), but previously Clang would
fallback to either the MSVC intrinsic or the regular C code. This was
discovered due to a bug where a new version of Clang required the
<intrin.h> header file in order to use the MSVC intrinsics.
Thanks to Anton Kochkov for notifying us about the bug.
The thread method is now configurable for the CMake build. It matches
the Autotools build by allowing ON (pick the best threading method),
OFF (no threading), posix, win95, and vista. If both Windows and
posix threading are both available, then ON will choose Windows
threading. Windows threading will also not use:
target_link_libraries(liblzma Threads::Threads)
since on systems like MinGW-w64 it would link the posix threads
without purpose.
This allows users to change the features they build either in
CMakeCache.txt or by using a CMake GUI. The sources built for
liblzma are affected by this too, so only the necessary files
will be compiled.
This makes no functional difference in the generated configure
(at least with the Autotools versions I have installed) but this
change might prevent future bugs like the one that was just
fixed in the commit 5a5bd7f871.
This is broken in the releases 5.2.6 to 5.4.2. A workaround
for these releases is to pass EGREP='grep -E' as an argument
to configure in addition to --disable-threads.
The problem appeared when m4/ax_pthread.m4 was updated in
the commit 6629ed929c which
introduced the use of AC_EGREP_CPP. AC_EGREP_CPP calls
AC_REQUIRE([AC_PROG_EGREP]) to set the shell variable EGREP
but this was only executed if POSIX threads were enabled.
Libtool code also has AC_REQUIRE([AC_PROG_EGREP]) but Autoconf
omits it as AC_PROG_EGREP has already been required earlier.
Thus, if not using POSIX threads, the shell variable EGREP
would be undefined in the Libtool code in configure.
ax_pthread.m4 is fine. The bug was in configure.ac which called
AX_PTHREAD conditionally in an incorrect way. Using AS_CASE
ensures that all AC_REQUIREs get always run.
Thanks to Frank Busse for reporting the bug.
