* Install lz4 dep from Ubuntu repo
* Use curl instead of wget
* Use xenial for meson and make meson build first
* Unset Travis preset CC and CXX value for meson to use ccache
* Be more verbose with "set -x"
The regression tests run nightly or on the `regression`
branch for convenience. The results get uploaded as the
artifacts of the job. If they change, check the diff
printed in the job. If all is well, download the new
results and commit them to the repo.
This code will only run on a UNIX like platform. It
could be made to run on Windows, but I don't think that
it is necessary. It also uses C99.
* data: This module defines the data to run tests on.
It downloads data from a URL into a cache directory,
checks it against a checksum, and unpacks it. It also
provides helpers for accessing the data.
* config: This module defines the configs to run tests
with. A config is a set of API parameters and a set of
CLI flags.
* result: This module is a helper for method that defines
the result type.
* method: This module defines the compression methods
to test. It is what runs the regression test using the
data and the config. It reports the total compressed
size, or an error/skip.
* test: This is the test binary that runs the tests for
every (data, config, method) tuple, and prints the
results to the output file and stderr.
* results.csv: The results that the current commit is
expected to produce.
NOTE: This commit only tested on Linux (Ubuntu 18.04). Windows
build may not work as expected.
* Use meson >= 0.47.0 cause we use install_man function
* Add three helper Python script:
* CopyFile.py: To copy file
* CreateSymlink.py: To make symlink (both Windows and Unix)
* GetZstdLibraryVersion.py: Parse lib/zstd.h to get zstd version
These help emulating equivalent functions in CMake and Makefile.
* Use subdir from meson to split meson.build
* Add contrib build
* Fix other build
* Add new build options
* build_programs: Enable programs build
* build_contrib: Enable contrib build
* build_tests: Enable tests build
* use_static_runtime: Link to static run-time libraries on MSVC
* zlib_support: Enable zlib support
* lzma_support: Enable lzma support
