common/index.h is needed by liblzma internally and tests. common.h will
include and define many things that are not needed by the tests. Also,
this prevents include order problems because common.h will redefine
LZMA_API resulting in a warning.
Previously, <sys/time.h> was always included, even if mythread only used
clock_gettime. <time.h> is still needed even if clock_gettime is not used
though because struct timespec is needed for mythread_condtime.
Previously, if threading was enabled HAVE_DECL_CLOCK_MONOTONIC would always
be set to 0 or 1. However, this macro was needed in xz so if xz was not
built with threading and HAVE_DECL_CLOCK_MONOTONIC was not defined but
HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME was, it caused a warning during build. Now,
HAVE_DECL_CLOCK_MONOTONIC has been renamed to HAVE_CLOCK_MONOTONIC and
will only be set if it is 1.
The CI/CD workflow will only execute on Ubuntu and MacOS latest version.
The workflow will attempt to build with autotools and CMake and execute
the tests. The workflow will run for all pull requests and pushes done
to the master branch.
Using return_if_error on lzma_lzma_lclppb_encode was improper because
return_if_error is expecting an lzma_ret value, but
lzma_lzma_lclppb_encode returns a boolean. This could result in
lzma_microlzma_encoder, which would be misleading for applications.
Using CMake to build liblzma should work on a few other OSes
but building the command line tools is still subtly broken.
It is known that shared library versioning may differ between
CMake and Libtool builds on some OSes, most notably Darwin.
The code that parses --memlimit options and --block-list modified
the argv[] when parsing the option string from optarg. This was
visible in "ps auxf" and such and could be confusing. I didn't
understand it back in the day when I wrote that code. Now a copy
is allocated when modifiable strings are needed.
The API docs gave an impression that such checks are done
but they actually weren't done. In practice it made little
difference since the calling code has a bug if these are NULL.
Thanks to Jia Tan for the original patch that checked for
block->filters == NULL.
If someone sets up Clang to define __GNUC__ to 10 or greater
then symvers broke. __has_attribute is supported by such GCC
and Clang versions that don't support __symver__ so this should
be much better and simpler way to detect if __symver__ is
actually supported.
Thanks to Tomasz Gajc for the bug report.
