tuklib_cpucores.c and tuklib_physmem.c don't include <sys/types.h>
even via other files in this package, so clearly that header isn't
needed in the tests either (no one has reported build problems due
to a missing header in a .c file).
It's available in glibc (GNU/Linux, GNU/kFreeBSD). It's better
than sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) because sched_getaffinity()
gives the number of cores available to the process instead of
the total number of cores online.
As a side effect, this commit fixes a bug on GNU/kFreeBSD where
configure would detect the FreeBSD-specific cpuset_getaffinity()
but it wouldn't actually work because on GNU/kFreeBSD it requires
using -lfreebsd-glue when linking. Now the glibc-specific function
will be used instead.
Thanks to Sebastian Andrzej Siewior for the original patch
and testing.
It tried to use sysctl() on QNX but
- it broke the build because sysctl() needs -lsocket on QNX;
- sysctl() doesn't work for detecting the core count on QNX
even if it compiled.
sysconf() works. An alternative would have been to use
QNX-specific SYSPAGE_ENTRY(num_cpu) from <sys/syspage.h>.
Thanks to Ole André Vadla Ravnås.
In FreeBSD, cpuset_getaffinity() is the preferred way to get
the number of available cores.
Thanks to Rui Paulo for the patch. I edited it slightly, but
hopefully I didn't break anything.
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.
which now use AC_CACHE_CHECK. Using the cache variable,
configure now warns if there is no method to detect the amount
of RAM and recommends using --enable-assume-ram.
Separate a few reusable components from XZ Utils specific
code. The reusable code is now in "tuklib" modules. A few
more could be separated still, e.g. bswap.h.
Fix some bugs in lzmainfo.
Fix physmem and cpucores code on OS/2. Thanks to Elbert Pol
for help.
Add OpenVMS support into physmem. Add a few #ifdefs to ease
building XZ Utils on OpenVMS. Thanks to Jouk Jansen for the
original patch.
