test_block_header now achieves higher test coverage. Also the
test will now compile and skip properly if encoders or decoders
are disabled.
Thanks to Sebastian Andrzej Siewior.
This replaces bswap.h and integer.h.
The tuklib module uses <byteswap.h> on GNU,
<sys/endian.h> on *BSDs and <sys/byteorder.h>
on Solaris, which may contain optimized code
like inline assembly.
Half of developers were already forgetting to use these
functions, which could have caused total breakage in some future
liblzma version or even now if --enable-small was used. Now
liblzma uses pthread_once() to do the initializations unless
it has been built with --disable-threads which make these
initializations thread-unsafe.
When --enable-small isn't used, liblzma currently gets needlessly
linked against libpthread (on systems that have it). While it is
stupid for now, liblzma will need threads in future anyway, so
this stupidity will be temporary only.
When --enable-small is used, different code CRC32 and CRC64 is
now used than without --enable-small. This made the resulting
binary slightly smaller, but the main reason was to clean it up
and to handle the lack of lzma_init_check().
The pkg-config file lzma.pc was renamed to liblzma.pc. I'm not
sure if it works correctly and portably for static linking
(Libs.private includes -pthread or other operating system
specific flags). Hopefully someone complains if it is bad.
lzma_rc_prices[] is now included as a precomputed array even
with --enable-small. It's just 128 bytes now that it uses uint8_t
instead of uint32_t. Smaller array seemed to be at least as fast
as the more bloated uint32_t array on x86; hopefully it's not bad
on other architectures.
- Updated to the latest, probably final file format version.
- Command line tool reworked to not use threads anymore.
Threading will probably go into liblzma anyway.
- Memory usage limit is now about 30 % for uncompression
and about 90 % for compression.
- Progress indicator with --verbose
- Simplified --help and full --long-help
- Upgraded to the last LGPLv2.1+ getopt_long from gnulib.
- Some bug fixes
broken. API has changed a lot and it will still change a
little more here and there. The command line tool doesn't
have all the required changes to reflect the API changes, so
it's easy to get "internal error" or trigger assertions.
specification. Simplify things by removing most of the
support for known uncompressed size in most places.
There are some miscellaneous changes here and there too.
The API of liblzma has got many changes and still some
more will be done soon. While most of the code has been
updated, some things are not fixed (the command line tool
will choke with invalid filter chain, if nothing else).
Subblock filter is somewhat broken for now. It will be
updated once the encoded format of the Subblock filter
has been decided.
