Summary

  • Adds test/linkage/, a standalone CMake consumer project that uses find_package(libcbor) to link against an installed libcbor — the minimal reproduction of how a downstream user would consume the library
  • Adds a run-linkage-tests CircleCI command that builds and installs libcbor twice (once with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF, once with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON) and runs the consumer against each install
  • Wires run-linkage-tests into build-and-test (GCC) and build-and-test-clang (Clang), and adds a new dedicated linkage-test CI job

This catches the class of regression fixed in #148, where the static and shared library artifacts had colliding output names, breaking installs especially on Windows.

Test plan

  • CI passes — in particular the new linkage-test job and the linkage steps at the end of build-and-test and build-and-test-clang
  • Manually verified locally: both static and shared variants configure, build, install, and the consumer links and runs successfully

Closes #153

cbor_encode_half previously encoded all NaN values as 0x7E00, losing
the sign bit and up to 10 payload bits. Negative tiny floats (too small
for half precision) were also rounded to +0 instead of -0.

- cbor_encode_half: map the top 10 bits of the single-precision mantissa
  to the half-precision mantissa, preserving both the quiet/signaling bit
  and the payload. Fall back to a quiet NaN only when the payload fits
  entirely in the bottom 13 bits (not representable in half precision).
  Preserve the sign bit in the tiny-float-to-zero rounding path.
- _cbor_decode_half: reconstruct the single-precision float bit pattern
  from the half-precision NaN bits, enabling round-trip fidelity.

Fixes #215

MIPS legacy uses bit 22 = 0 for quiet NaN (opposite of IEEE 754-2008),
so the C NAN constant has a different bit pattern there. Tests that
asserted cbor_encode_half(NAN) == {0xF9, 0x7E, 0x00} were relying on
the old behavior of normalizing all NaN values to 0x7E00.

Replace specific-byte assertions on NAN, -NAN, and nanf("2") with
structural checks (valid CBOR half marker, exp=0x1F, non-zero mantissa)
plus the existing encode/decode round-trip. Keep a deterministic
specific-byte assertion for an explicit bit pattern (0x7FC02000)
constructed via memcpy, which is independent of the platform's NAN.

Adds test/linkage/, a standalone CMake consumer project that builds
against an installed libcbor via find_package, for both static
(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF) and shared (BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON) builds.

This catches the class of bug fixed in #148, where static and shared
library artifacts had colliding names on Windows, breaking installs.

Adds a run-linkage-tests CircleCI command that installs libcbor to a
temp prefix and builds/runs the consumer for both variants. The command
runs in build-and-test, build-and-test-clang, and a new dedicated
linkage-test CI job.

Closes #153

Release builds enable LTO (INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION_RELEASE=ON),
which makes clang emit LLVM bitcode into libcbor.a. GNU ld cannot read
that format when linking the consumer, causing the static linkage test
to fail on the build-and-test-clang job.

Switching to Debug avoids LTO entirely while still exercising the
install and find_package paths.

The linkage tests already run as part of build-and-test and
build-and-test-clang; the dedicated job is redundant.
