Hello, New version of xz compression patch. Changes since then: - it works now :-) - decoder dictionary can be enlarge up to DICT_BIT_SIZE defined in xz_lzma2.h (currently set to 30 = 128MiB) - xz uses crc32 from libgcrypt-grub, internal crc implementation removed - removed linux kernel related code from xz - get rid of some not needed memcpy() calls - xzio.mod stuff made according to Vladimir's comments - simplified wraper (only 1 file - xz_wrap.h) - number of other improvments and tons of bugfixes - files licence changed from public domain to gpl3+
This patch also changes gnulib-wrap.h true/false definitions to make them truly constants. TODO and other questions: - lack of file seek support, if files is compressed with small block size, it is possible to implement pseudo-random access - what is optimal i/o buffer size? like BUFSIZ macro in glibc - default dictionary size should be chosen for files compression - still need to do performance tests - introduce some common layer for xzio/gzio etc ? Comments are welcome -- Szymon K. Janc szy...@janc.net.pl // GG: 1383435
