Due to earlier changes in the error checking in inflate_table(), the
code to fill in a table for an incomplete code handled cases that can
never actually occur. This simplifies that code to handle the only
possible case, which is a single empty table entry for a code with
a single symbol with a length of one bit.
Using "ON" was a dumb idea, since it is common to have macros with
names like ON and OFF. In fact, defining the OF macro back in 1995
was a bad idea, but now we're stuck with it. Attempts to rename OF
to something else breaks many applications.
A problem surfaced in a multi-threaded application where fileno() was
used to get a file descriptor from an fopen(), which was then fed to
gzdopen(). The problem occurred when the gzclose() followed by the
fclose() tried to close the same file descriptor twice. If fclose()
were not done, there would be a memory leak. The only way out is to
dup() the file descriptor so that gzclose() closes the duplicated
file descriptor, and fclose() closes the original file descriptor.
This permits compilers to check for the proper treatment of next_in and
msg in the z_stream structure. This is an option instead of the default
in order to preserve backward compatibility. Some applications make use
of the z_stream structure outside of zlib, and perform operations such
as free(strm->next_in), which would not be permitted when next_in is
const. The #define ZLIB_CONST needs to precede the #include "zlib.h">,
in order to make next_in and msg const pointers in the z_stream type.
This adds the -fprofile-arcs and -ftest-coverage options when compiling
the source code for the static library. Those same options must then be
used when linking the static library into an executable. This updates
Makefile.in to remove and .gitignore to ignore the files generated when
testing coverage.
The Microsoft CAB file format compresses each block with completed
deflate streams that depend on the sliding window history of the
previous block in order to decode. inflateResetKeep() does what
inflateReset() does, except the sliding window history from the
previous inflate operation is retained.
A common request has been the ability to compile zlib to require no
other libraries. This --solo option provides that ability. The price
is that the gz*, compress*, and uncompress functions are eliminated,
and that the user must provide memory allocation and free routines to
deflate and inflate when initializing.
This also moves some of the same from zconf.h to gzguts.h. A new
function, gzflags(), was created to pass the compilation flags
related to vsnprintf usage back to zlibCompileFlags() in zutil.c.
In the process, various compiler configuration files were updated
to include gzflags(), as well as the new gzgetc_() function added
when the gzgetc() macro was introduced in a previous patch.
Before this fix, gzread() would lose data if a premature end of file
was encountered. This prevented gzread() from being used on a file
that was being written concurrently. Now gzread() returns all of the
data it has available before indicating a premature end of file.
This also changes the error returned on a premature end of file from
Z_DATA_ERROR to Z_BUF_ERROR. This allows the user to determine if
the error is recoverable, which it is if Z_BUF_ERROR is returned. If
a Z_DATA_ERROR is returned, then the error is not recoverable.
This patch replaces the functionality of a previous patch that fixed
reading through an empty gzip stream in a concatenation of gzip
streams.
To implement this fix, a noticeable rewrite of gzread.c was needed.
The patch has the added advantage of using inflate's gzip processing
instead of replicating the functionality in gzread.c. This makes the
gz code a little simpler.
Previously the new gz* functions (introduced in 1.2.4) would read and
return raw data after the last gzip stream. This is inconsistent with
the behavior of gzip and the previous versions of zlib. Now when one
or more gzip streams have been decoded from the file, which is then
followed by data that is not a gzip stream (as detemined by not finding
the magic header), then that subsequent trailing garbage is ignored,
and no error is returned.
Without this, Z_RLE could under some circumstances read one byte past
the end of the allocated sliding window. This would normally not be a
problem unless the window is right at the end of an allocated page, or
if a bounds checker is being used.
The DESTDIR should not be encoded into symlinks as it is only a
temporary path. Further, since we install the symlinks into the
same dir as the files, let's use relative links so that they can
always resolve.

Also added "-motley" to ZLIB_VERSION in zlib.h, so that versions
in-between 1.2.5.1 and 1.2.5.2 that are pulled down from github
can be identified as such if bugs are reported on them.
