e9ed88126e Run the scripts with the correct shell in test_scripts.sh.
The scripts are now made executable in the build tree.
This way the scripts can be run like programs in
test_scripts.sh. Previously test_scripts.sh always
used sh but it's not correct if @POSIX_SHELL@ is set
to something else by configure.

Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for the patch.

bd35d903a0 liblzma: Use symbol versioning.
Symbol versioning is enabled by default on GNU/Linux,
other GNU-based systems, and FreeBSD.

I'm not sure how stable this is, so it may need
backward-incompatible changes before the next release.

The idea is that alpha and beta symbols are considered
unstable and require recompiling the applications that
use those symbols. Once a symbol is stable, it may get
extended with new features in ways that don't break
compatibility with older ABI & API.

The mydist target runs validate_map.sh which should
catch some probable problems in liblzma.map. Otherwise
I would forget to update the map file for new releases.

fe00f95828 Build: Fix checking for system-provided SHA-256. 2011-05-24 00:23:46 +03:00
Lasse Collin
b94aa0c838 liblzma: Try to use SHA-256 from the operating system.
If the operating system libc or other base libraries
provide SHA-256, use that instead of our own copy.
Note that this doesn't use OpenSSL or libgcrypt or
such libraries to avoid creating dependencies to
other packages.

This supports at least FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris,
MINIX, and Darwin. They all provide similar but not
identical SHA-256 APIs; everyone is a little different.

Thanks to Wim Lewis for the original patch, improvements,
and testing.

ec7106309c Build: Fix initialization of enable_check_* variables in configure.ac.
This doesn't matter much in practice since it is unlikely
that anyone would have such environment variable names.

9c1b05828a Fix portability problems in mythread.h.
Use gettimeofday() if clock_gettime() isn't available
(e.g. Darwin).

The test for availability of pthread_condattr_setclock()
and CLOCK_MONOTONIC was incorrect. Instead of fixing the
#ifdefs, use an Autoconf test. That way if there exists a
system that supports them but doesn't specify the matching
POSIX #defines, the features will still get detected.

Don't try to use pthread_sigmask() on OpenVMS. It doesn't
have that function.

Guard mythread.h against being #included multiple times.

de678e0c92 liblzma: Add lzma_stream_encoder_mt() for threaded compression.
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.

9f0a806aef Revise mythread.h.
This adds:

  - mythread_sync() macro to create synchronized blocks

  - mythread_cond structure and related functions
    and macros for condition variables with timed
    waiting using a relative timeout

  - mythread_create() to create a thread with all
    signals blocked

Some of these wouldn't need to be inline functions,
but I'll keep them this way for now for simplicity.

For timed waiting on a condition variable, librt is
now required on some systems to use clock_gettime().
configure.ac was updated to handle this.

f9907503f8 Build: Remove the static/dynamic tricks.
Most distros want xz linked against shared liblzma, so
it doesn't help much to require --enable-dynamic for that.
Those who want to avoid PIC on x86-32 to get better
performance, can still do it e.g. by using --disable-shared
to compile xz and then another pass to compile shared liblzma.

Part of these static/dynamic tricks were needed for Windows
in the past. Nowadays we rely on GCC and binutils to do the
right thing with auto-import. If the Autotooled build system
needs to support some other toolchain on Windows in the future,
this may need some rethinking.

bb0b1004f8 xz: Multiple fixes.
The code assumed that printing numbers with thousand separators
and decimal points would always produce only US-ASCII characters.
This was used for buffer sizes (with snprintf(), no overflows)
and aligning columns of the progress indicator and --list. That
assumption was wrong (e.g. LC_ALL=fi_FI.UTF-8 with glibc), so
multibyte character support was added in this commit. The old
way is used if the operating system doesn't have enough multibyte
support (e.g. lacks wcwidth()).

The sizes of buffers were increased to accomodate multibyte
characters. I don't know how big they should be exactly, but
they aren't used for anything critical, so it's not too bad.
If they still aren't big enough, I hopefully get a bug report.
snprintf() takes care of avoiding buffer overflows.

Some static buffers were replaced with buffers allocated on
stack. double_to_str() was removed. uint64_to_str() and
uint64_to_nicestr() now share the static buffer and test
for thousand separator support.

Integrity check names "None" and "Unknown-N" (2 <= N <= 15)
were marked to be translated. I had forgot these, plus they
wouldn't have worked correctly anyway before this commit,
because printing tables with multibyte strings didn't work.

Thanks to Marek Černocký for reporting the bug about
misaligned table columns in --list output.

d8a55c48b3 Remove the Subblock filter code for now.
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.

b9b5c54cd4 Enable assembler code only if it is known to work
on that operating system.

I'm too lazy to think how to make a good Autoconf test
for this and it's not that important anyway.

No longer define HAVE_ASM_X86 or HAVE_ASM_X86_64.
Inline assembler (if any) is used if a macro like
__i386__ or __x86_64__ is defined.

c74c132f7f Update tuklib_cpucores.m4 and tuklib_physmem.m4 from tuklib,
which now use AC_CACHE_CHECK. Using the cache variable,
configure now warns if there is no method to detect the amount
of RAM and recommends using --enable-assume-ram.

ebfb2c5e1f Use a tuklib module for integer handling.
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.

e599bba421 Various changes.
Separate a few reusable components from XZ Utils specific
code. The reusable code is now in "tuklib" modules. A few
more could be separated still, e.g. bswap.h.

Fix some bugs in lzmainfo.

Fix physmem and cpucores code on OS/2. Thanks to Elbert Pol
for help.

Add OpenVMS support into physmem. Add a few #ifdefs to ease
building XZ Utils on OpenVMS. Thanks to Jouk Jansen for the
original patch.

221be761f4 Use $(LN_EXEEXT) in symlinks to executables.

Cygwin is treated specially. The symlink names won't have
.exe suffix even though the executables themselves have.

71f18e8a06 Make --enable-dynamic a tristate option.
Some programs will by default be linked against static
liblzma and some against shared liblzma. --enable-dynamic
now allows overriding the default to both directions
(all dynamic or all static) even when building both
shared and static liblzma.

This is quite messy compared to how simple thing it is supposed
to be. The complexity is mostly due to Windows support.

e51b4e49e8 Add lzmainfo for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
lzmainfo now links against static liblzma. In contrast
to other command line tools in XZ Utils, linking lzmainfo
against static liblzma by default is dumb. This will be
fixed once I have fixed some related issues in configure.ac.

96e4b257e1 Major update to the xzgrep and other scripts based on
the latest versions found from gzip CVS repository.

configure will try to find a POSIX shell to be used by
the scripts. This should ease portability on systems
which have pre-POSIX /bin/sh.

xzgrep and xzdiff support .xz, .lzma, .gz, and .bz2 files.
xzmore and xzless support only .xz and .lzma files.

The name of the xz executable used in these scripts is
now correct even if --program-transform-name has been used.

f42ee98166 Build system fixes
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.

3084d662d2 Cleanups to the code that detects the amount of RAM and
the number of CPU cores. Added support for using sysinfo()
on Linux systems whose libc lacks appropriate sysconf()
support (at least dietlibc). The Autoconf macros were
split into separate files, and CPU core count detection
was moved from hardware.c to cpucores.h. The core count
isn't used for anything real for now, so a problematic
part in process.c was commented out.

fdbc0cfa71 Changed how the version number is specified in various places.
Now configure.ac will get the version number directly from
src/liblzma/api/lzma/version.h. The intent is to reduce the
number of places where the version number is duplicated. In
future, support for displaying Git commit ID may be added too.
