Seems that it is a problem in some cases if the same
version of XZ Utils produces different output on different
endiannesses, so this commit fixes that problem. The output
will still vary between different XZ Utils versions, but I
cannot avoid that for now.
This commit bloatens the code on big endian systems by 1 KiB,
which should be OK since liblzma is bloated already. ;-)
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.
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.
misunderstanding of the code. There's no tiny fix for this
problem, so I also cleaned up the code in general.
This reduces the speed of the encoder 2-5 % in the fastest
compression mode ("lzma -1"). High compression modes should
have no noticeable performance difference.
This commit breaks things (especially LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH) but I
will fix them once the new format and LZMA2 has been roughly
implemented. Plain LZMA won't support LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH at all
and won't be supported in the new .lzma format. This may
change still but this is what it looks like now.
Support for known uncompressed size (that is, LZMA or LZMA2
without EOPM) is likely to go away. This means there will
be API changes.
size. The "fix" breaks LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH at end of stream
with known uncompressed size, but since it currently seems
likely that support for encoding with known uncompressed
size will go away anyway, I'm not fixing this problem now.
These changes implement support for LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH in LZMA
encoder, and move the temporary buffer needed by range encoder
from lzma_range_encoder structure to lzma_lz_encoder.
