solaris-userland

You can grab the version from the solaris userland repo I linked and use it without me completing a homework assignment. Just grab the pigz-2.3.4 source then apply the patches from [1] in the proper order. Maybe some of them aren't needed for non-Solaris. 1. https://github.com/oracle/solaris-userland/tree/master/compo... I thought I had opened a PR for that a long while ago, but it doesn't show up on github these days. In any case, I did ask Mark Adler to review it. It was never a priority, then the code changed in ways that I don't really want to deal with. While looking through the PRs, I noticed a PR for Blocked GZip Format (BGZF) [2]. That's very interesting, and perhaps suggests that bgzip is a tool you would be interested in. 2. https://github.com/madler/pigz/pull/19

I implemented parallel decompression a while back. It is in Solaris 11.3 and later. https://github.com/oracle/solaris-userland/blob/master/compo... Shortly after submitting a PR the code went through major surgery, and my patch then needed a similar amount of surgery. Oracle then whacked most of the Solaris org, and I don’t think this ever got updated to work with the current pigz.

It's actually possible to workaround this by using the -trimpath option to the assembler via '-asmflags -trimpath'. I do this when I build Go for Solaris: https://github.com/oracle/solaris-userland/blob/master/compo... https://github.com/golang/go/issues/13616 See also: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/16860
