It's available in glibc (GNU/Linux, GNU/kFreeBSD). It's better
than sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) because sched_getaffinity()
gives the number of cores available to the process instead of
the total number of cores online.
As a side effect, this commit fixes a bug on GNU/kFreeBSD where
configure would detect the FreeBSD-specific cpuset_getaffinity()
but it wouldn't actually work because on GNU/kFreeBSD it requires
using -lfreebsd-glue when linking. Now the glibc-specific function
will be used instead.
Thanks to Sebastian Andrzej Siewior for the original patch
and testing.
AU_ALIAS was removed because the new version is incompatible
with the old version.
It no longer checks for <sys/capability.h> separately.
It's enough to test for it as part of AC_CHECK_DECL.
The defines HAVE_CAPSICUM_SYS_CAPSICUM_H and
HAVE_CAPSICUM_SYS_CAPABILITY_H were removed as unneeded.
HAVE_SYS_CAPSICUM_H from AC_CHECK_HEADERS is enough.
It no longer does a useless search for the Capsicum library
if the header wasn't found.
Fixed a bug in ACTION-IF-FOUND (the first argument). Specifying
the argument omitted the default action but the given action
wasn't used instead.
AC_DEFINE([HAVE_CAPSICUM]) is now always called when Capsicum
support is found. Previously it was part of the default
ACTION-IF-FOUND which a custom action would override. Now
the default action only prepends ${CAPSICUM_LIB} to LIBS.
The documentation was updated.
Since there as no serial number, "#serial 2" was added.
The earlier version compiled but didn't actually work
since sysconf(_SC_PHYS_PAGES) always fails (or so I was told).
Thanks to Ole André Vadla Ravnås for the patch and testing.
It tried to use sysctl() on QNX but
- it broke the build because sysctl() needs -lsocket on QNX;
- sysctl() doesn't work for detecting the core count on QNX
even if it compiled.
sysconf() works. An alternative would have been to use
QNX-specific SYSPAGE_ENTRY(num_cpu) from <sys/syspage.h>.
Thanks to Ole André Vadla Ravnås.
In FreeBSD, cpuset_getaffinity() is the preferred way to get
the number of available cores.
Thanks to Rui Paulo for the patch. I edited it slightly, but
hopefully I didn't break anything.
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.
Don't use #error to generate compile error, because some
compilers actually don't take it as an error. This fixes
tuklib_physmem on IRIX.
Fix incorrect error check for sysconf() return values.
Add AIX, HP-UX, and Tru64 specific code to detect the
amount RAM.
Add HP-UX specific code to detect the number of CPU cores.
Thanks a lot to Peter O'Gorman for initial patches,
testing, and debugging these fixes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
- 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
