Prefixes

For example for adding extractors for self-extracting zip archives.

zip_set_archive_prefix(struct zip *za, const zip_uint8_t *data, zip_uint64_t length);
const zip_uint8_t *zip_get_archive_prefix(struct zip *za, zip_uint64_t *lengthp);

Compression

API Issues

  • zip_get_archive_comment has int *lenp argument. Cleaner would be zip_uint32_t *. rename and fix. which other functions for naming consistency?
  • rename remaining zip_XXX_{file,archive}_* to zip_{file,archive}_XXX_*?
  • compression/crypt implementations: how to set error code on failure
  • compression/crypt error messages a la ZIP_ER_ZLIB (no detailed info passing)

Features

  • add seek support for AES-encrypted files
  • consistently use _zip_crypto_clear() for passwords
  • support setting extra fields from zip_source
    • introduce layers of extra fields:
      • original
      • from zip_source
      • manually set
    • when querying extra fields, search all of them in reverse order
    • add whiteout (deleted) flag
    • allow invalid data flag, used when computing extra field size before writing data
    • new command ZIP_SOURCE_EXTRA_FIELDS
    • no support for multiple copies of same extra field
  • delete all extra fields during zip_replace()
  • function to copy file from one archive to another
  • set O_CLOEXEC flag after fopen and mkstemp
  • zip_file_set_mtime(): support InfoZIP time stamps
  • support streaming output (creating new archive to e.g. stdout)
  • add function to read/set ASCII file flag
  • zip_commit() (to finish changes without closing archive)
  • add custom compression function support
  • zip_source_zip(): allow rewinding
  • zipcmp: add option for file content comparison
  • zipcmp: add more paranoid checks:
    • external attributes/opsys
    • last_mod
    • version needed/made by
    • general purpose bit flags
  • add more consistency checks:
    • for stored files, test compressed = uncompressed
    • data descriptor
    • local headers come before central dir
  • support for old compression methods?

Bugs

  • ensure that nentries is small enough not to cause overflow (size_t for entry, uint64 for CD on disk)
  • check for limits imposed by format (central dir size, file size, extra fields, ...)
  • _zip_u2d_time(): handle localtime(3) failure
  • POSIX: zip_open(): check whether file can be created and fail if not
  • fix inconsistent usage of valid flags (not checked in many places)
  • cdr == NULL -> ER_NOENT vs. idx > cdir->nentry -> ER_INVAL inconsistent (still there?)

Cleanup

  • drop _LIBZIP suffixes in cmake defines (no longer needed since they no longer appear in zipconf.h)
  • go over cdir parser and rename various offset/size variables to make it clearer
  • use bool
  • use ZIP_SOURCE_SUPPORTS_{READABLE,SEEKABLE,WRITABLE}
  • use zip_source_seek_compute_offset()
  • get rid of zip_get_{compression,encryption}_implementation()
  • use zip_*int*_t internally
  • zip_source_file(): don't allow write if start/len specify a part of the file

Documentation

  • document: zip_source_write(): length can't be > ZIP_INT64_MAX
  • document: ZIP_SOURCE_CLOSE implementation can't return error
  • keep error codes in man pages in sync
  • document error codes in new man pages

Infrastructure

macOS / iOS framework

  • get cmake to optionally build frameworks

Test Case Issues

  • test error cases with special source

    • tell it which command should fail
    • use it both as source for zip_add and zip_open_from_source
    • ziptool_regress:
      • -e error_spec: source containing zip fails depending on error_spec
      • add_with_error name content error_spec: add content to archive, where source fails depending on error_spec
      • add_file_with_error name file_to_add offset len error_spec: add file to archive, len bytes starting from offset, where source fails depending on error_spec
    • error_spec:
      • source command that fails
      • error code that source returns
      • conditions that must be met for error to trigger
        • Nth call of command
        • read/write: total byte count so far
        • state of source (opened, EOF reached, ...)

  • test for zipcmp reading directory (requires fts)

  • add test case for clone with files > 4k

  • consider testing for malloc/realloc failures

  • Winzip AES support

    • test cases decryption: <=20, >20, stat for both
    • test cases encryption: no password, default password, file-specific password, 128/192/256, <=20, >20
    • support testing on macOS

  • add test cases for lots of files (including too many)

  • add test cases for holes (between files, between files and cdir, between cdir and eocd, + zip64 where appropriate)

  • unchange on added file

  • test seek in zip_source_crc()

  • test cases for set_extra*, delete_extra*, *extra_field*

  • test cases for in memory archives

    • add
    • delete
    • delete all
    • modify

  • use gcov output to increase test coverage

  • add test case to change values for newly added files (name, compression method, comment, mtime, . . .)

  • zip_open() file less than EOCDLEN bytes long

  • test calls against old API

  • run regression tests also from CMake framework

  • rename file to dir/ and vice versa (fails)

  • fix comment test to be newline insensitive

  • check if http://bugs.python.org/issue20078 provides ideas for new tests

  • (add, replace)

    • add to empty zip
    • add to existing zip
    • add w/ existing file name [E]
    • replace ok
    • replace w/ illegal index [E]
    • replace w/ deleted name [E]
    • unchange added/replaced file

  • (close)

    • copy zip file
    • open copy
    • rename, delete, replace, add w/ new name, add w/ deleted name
    • close
    • zipcmp copy expected
