2021-01-09	liblzma: Make lzma_outq usable for threaded decompression too.	Lasse Collin	1	-97/+171
	Before this commit all output queue buffers were allocated as a single big allocation. Now each buffer is allocated separately when needed. Used buffers are cached to avoid reallocation overhead but the cache will keep only one buffer size at a time. This should make things work OK in the decompression where most of the time the buffer sizes will be the same but with some less common files the buffer sizes may vary. While this should work fine, it's still a bit preliminary and may even get reverted if it turns out to be useless for decompression.
2012-07-17	liblzma: Make the use of lzma_allocator const-correct.	Lasse Collin	1	-2/+2
	There is a tiny risk of causing breakage: If an application assigns lzma_stream.allocator to a non-const pointer, such code won't compile anymore. I don't know why anyone would do such a thing though, so in practice this shouldn't cause trouble. Thanks to Jan Kratochvil for the patch.
2011-10-23	liblzma: Fix invalid free() in the threaded encoder.	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+4
	It was triggered if initialization failed e.g. due to running out of memory. Thanks to Arkadiusz Miskiewicz.
2011-04-11	liblzma: Add lzma_stream_encoder_mt() for threaded compression.	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+180
	This is the simplest method to do threading, which splits the uncompressed data into blocks and compresses them independently from each other. There's room for improvement especially to reduce the memory usage, but nevertheless, this is a good start.
