When multiple -arch flags are used, the compiler invokes itself once for
each architecture. Apparently, input on stdin is consumed by the
compilation of the first arch and is no longer available to the
compilation of the second arch, which results in a build failure and the
potentially incorrect determination that a feature is not available. So
write the feature detection source to a file instead of using stdin.
answering #1407.
Also : removed obsolete function ZSTD_setDStreamParameter()
which could only be used with one parameter (DStream_p_maxWindowSize).
Now replaced by ZSTD_DCtx_setWindowSize() (which exists since a few revisions)
fix#1379
decodecorpus was generating one extraneous byte when `nbSeq==0`.
This is disallowed by the specification.
The reference decoder was just skipping the extraneous byte.
It is now stricter, and flag such situation as an error.
gcc-8 on Linux doesn't like usage of strncat :
`warning: ‘strncat’ output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length`.
Not sure what was wrong, it might be a false positive,
but the logic is simple enough to replaced by a simple `memcpy()`,
thus avoiding the shenanigans of null-terminated strings.
following #1356,
only enable backtrace compilation on linux+glibc.
Also, disable backtrace by default from "release" compilation,
so that less platforms get impacted by the new requirements.
Can be manually enabled/disabled using BACKTRACE=1/0.
and slightly refactored affected function.
Honestly, the formula calculating variance should get a second reviewing round,
it's not clear if it's correct.
some non-trivial changes to platform.h and util.h,
initially related to compilation for Haiku,
but I used this opportunity to make them cleaner
and add some documentation.
Noticed several tests that could be improved
(too harsh conditions, useless exception, etc.)
but I did not dare modifying too many tests just before release.
note : for some reason,
scan-build version on my laptop found problems within fastcover.c
that scan-build on travisCI does not flag.
They are, as usual, false positive :
the analyzer does not understand that a table (`offset`) is correctly filled before usage.
for Linux and Mac OS-X.
Note : the backtraces fires up through a trap
before the sanitizer get a chance to report.
There are situations where the sanitizer report is actually preferable.
It might be good to consider a kind of build macro
which can disable backtrace
when sanitizer is enabled.
from EXIT_IF() to RETURN_IF()
EXIT could be misunderstood as exit(), which terminates program execution.
But the macro only leaves the function, not the program.
- Print signal name to term
- Add -rdynamic option to generate Linux symbol names in backtrace
- Raise default signal after handler to ensure program termination
For OSX and Linux, add a signal handler to SIGABRT, SGIFPE, SIGILL,
SIGSEGV, and SIGBUS. When the program terminates unexpectedly the
handler will print the current stack to the terminal to help determine
the location of the failure.
On OSX the output will look like:
```
Stack trace:
4 zstd 0x000000010927ed96 main + 16886
5 libdyld.dylib 0x00007fff767d1015 start + 1
6 ??? 0x0000000000000001 0x0 + 1
```
On Linux the output will look like:
```
Stack trace:
./zstd() [0x4b8e1b]
./zstd() [0x4b928a]
./zstd() [0x403dc2]
/lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f5e0fbb0445]
./zstd() [0x405754]
```
As is, the code does not function on WIN32.

measures :
- compression ratio with / without dictionary
- create one dictionary per block
- memory budget for dictionaries
- decompression speed, using one different dictionary per block
current limitations :
- only one file
- 4K blocks only
- automatic dictionary built with 4K size
dictionary can be selected on command line, with -D

Per warnings from flawfinder: "Does not check for buffer overflows when
copying to destination [MS-banned] (CWE-120). Consider using snprintf,
strcpy_s, or strlcpy (warning: strncpy easily misused).".
Replaced called to strcpy and strcat in `fileio.c` to calls with a
specified size (`strncpy` and `strncat`).
Tested the changes on OSX, Linux, Windows.
On OSX + Linux, changes were tested with ASAN. The following flags were
used: 'check_initialization_order=1:strict_init_order=1:detect_odr_violation=1:detect_stack_use_after_return=1'
To reproduce warning:
./flawfinder.py ./programs/fileio.c

IS_CONSOLE stolen wholesale from Options.cpp
not sure if i should have extracted that code for DRY-ness
tested in OSX and functionality seems appropriate
unstested in a windows environment
unistd.h is for unix standard tools.
There does not appear to be a simple isatty for windows
this we only run the logic and header include in
non-windows environments
FIO would keep presenting data after an LZ4F decoding error
resulting in a NULL pointer dereference
when associated with older liblz4 version (< v1.8.1.2)
this makes it possible to specify extremely large negative compression levels,
achieving the side effect as "no compression".
It will also be possible to define larger targetlength for ultra compression mode.
There is no adverse side effect due to removing this limit.
* Replaced a non-breaking space and an en dash with a plain space and
a hyphen.
* This means the files are simple ASCII and less likely to run into
codepage issues.
- do not test level 0, as it is converted into level 3,
which feels strange when compressing multiple levels
- Use direct synchronous mode when a single worker is requested.
access negative compression levels from command line
for both compression and benchmark modes.
also : ensure proper propagation of parameters
through ZSTD_compress_generic() interface.
added relevant cli tests.
zstd bench module can focus on decompression speed _only_.
This is useful when trying to measure performance
on large input data compressed using a high level
as compression time becomes problematic (too long).
This mode is triggered by command : zstd -b -d
Problem was : in such a mode,
measured decoding speed was > 10% slower
than in nominal mode (compression + decompression),
making decompression benchmark mode much less useful.
This patch fixes the issue.
It's not completely clear why, but
moving the `memcpy()` operation sooner in the pipeline fixed it.
I can still measure some difference, but it is in the < 2% range,
so it's much more tolerable.
also : it doesn't matter anymore in which order are selected
commands `-b` and `-d`.
The combination always triggers bench_decodeOnly mode.
Silence a Coverity warning about 'windowSize' being uninitialized.
(Yes, nothing that calls this routine actually uses the windowSize
value. Still, appeasing Coverity is pretty harmless in this case.)
by invoking time() once per batch, instead of once per compression / decompression.
Batch is dynamically resized so that each round lasts approximately 1 second.
Also : increases time accuracy to nanosecond
This makes it easier to explain that nbWorkers=0 --> single-threaded mode,
while nbWorkers=1 --> asynchronous mode (one mode thread on top of the "main" caller thread).
No need for an additional asynchronous mode flag.
nbWorkers>=2 works the same as nbThreads>=2 previously.
added some test
also updated relevant doc
+ fixed a mistake in `lz4` symlink support :
lz4 utility doesn't remove source files by default (like zstd, but unlike gzip).
The symlink must behave the same.
