2011-01-18Add alloc_size and malloc attributes to a few functions.Lasse Collin1-1/+1
Thanks to Cristian Rodríguez for the original patch.
2010-05-26Remove the Subblock filter code for now.Lasse Collin1-6/+0
The spec isn't finished and the code didn't compile anymore. It won't be included in XZ Utils 5.0.0. It's easy to get it back once the spec is done.
2010-02-12Collection of language fixes to comments and docs.Lasse Collin1-2/+2
Thanks to Jonathan Nieder.
2009-11-14Fix a design error in liblzma API.Lasse Collin1-0/+22
Originally the idea was that using LZMA_FULL_FLUSH with Stream encoder would read the filter chain from the same array that was used to intialize the Stream encoder. Since most apps wouldn't use LZMA_FULL_FLUSH, most apps wouldn't need to keep the filter chain available after initializing the Stream encoder. However, due to my mistake, it actually required keeping the array always available. Since setting the new filter chain via the array used at initialization time is not a nice way to do it for a couple of reasons, this commit ditches it and introduces lzma_filters_update(). This new function replaces also the "persistent" flag used by LZMA2 (and to-be-designed Subblock filter), which was also an ugly thing to do. Thanks to Alexey Tourbin for reminding me about the problem that Stream encoder used to require keeping the filter chain allocated.
2009-10-04Use a tuklib module for integer handling.Lasse Collin1-1/+1
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.
2009-06-30Build system fixesLasse Collin1-6/+10
Don't use libtool convenience libraries to avoid recently discovered long-standing subtle but somewhat severe bugs in libtool (at least 1.5.22 and 2.2.6 are affected). It was found when porting XZ Utils to Windows <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2009-06/msg00070.html> but the problem is significant also e.g. on GNU/Linux. Unless --disable-shared is passed to configure, static library built from a set of convenience libraries will contain PIC objects. That is, while libtool builds non-PIC objects too, only PIC objects will be used from the convenience libraries. On 32-bit x86 (tested on mobile XP2400+), using PIC instead of non-PIC makes the decompressor 10 % slower with the default CFLAGS. So while xz was linked against static liblzma by default, it got the slower PIC objects unless --disable-shared was used. I tend develop and benchmark with --disable-shared due to faster build time, so I hadn't noticed the problem in benchmarks earlier. This commit also adds support for building Windows resources into liblzma and executables.
2009-06-26Basic support for building with Cygwin and MinGW usingLasse Collin1-1/+1
the Autotools based build system. It's not good yet, more fixes will follow.
2009-04-28Fixed a crash in liblzma.Lasse Collin1-2/+2
liblzma tries to avoid useless free()/malloc() pairs in initialization when multiple files are handled using the same lzma_stream. This didn't work with filter chains due to comparison of wrong pointers in lzma_next_coder_init(), making liblzma think that no memory reallocation is needed even when it actually is. Easy way to trigger this bug is to decompress two files with a single xz command. The first file should have e.g. x86+LZMA2 as the filter chain, and the second file just LZMA2.
2009-04-13Put the interesting parts of XZ Utils into the public domain.Lasse Collin1-10/+3
Some minor documentation cleanups were made at the same time.
2009-02-07Introduced LZMA_API_STATIC macro, which the applicationsLasse Collin1-1/+1
need to #define when linking against static liblzma on platforms like Windows. Most developers don't need to care about LZMA_API_STATIC at all.
2009-02-02Modify LZMA_API macro so that it works on Windows withLasse Collin1-1/+1
other compilers than MinGW. This may hurt readability of the API headers slightly, but I don't know any better way to do this.
2009-02-01Use __cdecl also for function pointers in liblzma API whenLasse Collin1-11/+7
on Windows.
2009-01-31Add LZMA_API to liblzma API headers. It's useful at leastLasse Collin1-2/+11
on Windows. sysdefs.h no longer #includes lzma.h, so lzma.h has to be #included separately where needed.
2009-01-22Fix a comment.Lasse Collin1-1/+1
2008-12-31Remove lzma_init() and other init functions from liblzma API.Lasse Collin1-0/+1
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.
2008-12-15Bunch of liblzma API cleanups and fixes.Lasse Collin1-1/+8
2008-11-19Oh well, big messy commit again. Some highlights:Lasse Collin1-8/+0
- 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
2008-09-27Fix conflicting Subblock helper filter's ID.Lasse Collin1-1/+1
2008-09-06Some API cleanupsLasse Collin1-8/+10
2008-08-28Sort of garbage collection commit. :-| Many things are stillLasse Collin1-126/+111
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.
2008-06-18Update the code to mostly match the new simpler file formatLasse Collin1-18/+26
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.
2008-04-25Removed src/liblzma/common/sysdefs.h symlink, which wasLasse Collin1-1/+1
annoying, because "make dist" put two copies of sysdefs.h into the tarball instead of the symlink.
