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.

Thanks to Jonathan Nieder.

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.

Fix the ordering of libgnu.a and LTLIBINTL on the linker
command line and added missing LTLIBINTL to tests/Makefile.am.
|
|
Some minor documentation cleanups were made at the same time.
|
|
- 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

|
- LZMA_VLI_VALUE_MAX -> LZMA_VLI_MAX
- LZMA_VLI_VALUE_UNKNOWN -> LZMA_VLI_UNKNOWN
- LZMA_HEADER_ERRRO -> LZMA_OPTIONS_ERROR

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.

This leaves one known alignment bug unfixed: If repeat count
doesn't fit into 28-bit integer, the encoder has to split
this to multiple Subblocks with Subblock Type `Repeating Data'.
The extra Subblocks may have wrong alignment. Correct alignment
is restored after the split Repeating Data has been completely
written out.
Since the encoder doesn't even try to fix the alignment unless
the size of Data is at least 4 bytes, to trigger this bug you
need at least 4 GiB of repeating data with sequence length of
4 or more bytes. Since the worst thing done by this bug is
misaligned data (no data corruption), this bug simply isn't
worth fixing, because a proper fix isn't simple.

The API for handing Subfilters was changed to make it
consistent with LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH.
A few sanity checks were added for Subfilter handling. Some
small bugs were fixed. More comments were added.

too early if we hit End of Input while decoding a Subblock of
type Repeating Data. To keep the loop termination condition
elegant, the order of enumerations in coder->sequence were
changed.
To keep the case-labels in roughly the same order as the
enumerations in coder->sequence, large chunks of code was
moved around. This made the diff big and ugly compared to
the amount of the actual changes made.

Uncompressed Size, and the last output byte was from RLE,
the code didn't stop decoding as it should have done.
|

It's not strictly needed there, and just complicates the
code. LZ encoder never even had this feature.
The primary reason to have uncompressed size tracking in
filter encoders was validating that the application
doesn't give different amount of input that it had
promised. A side effect was to validate internal workings
of liblzma.
Uncompressed size tracking is still present in the Block
encoder. Maybe it should be added to LZMA_Alone and raw
encoders too. It's simpler to have one coder just to
validate the uncompressed size instead of having it
in every filter.

Cleaned Subblock filter's initialization code too.
