Some compilers fault 'extern const' data declarations (because the data is
not initialized); this turns on const-ness only for compilers where
this is known to work.
using g++. The compiler imposes C++ rules on the C source; thus it
is desireable to make the source work with either C or C++ rules
without throwing away useful error information. This change adds
png_voidcast to allow C semantic (void*) cases or the corresponding
C++ static_cast operation, as appropriate.
The slightly modified tables reduce the number of 16-bit values that
convert to an off-by-one 8-bit value. The "makesRGB.c" code that was used
to generate the tables is now in a contrib/sRGBtables sub-directory.
the sBIT fields in the test pixel as 0, which resulted in a floating
point division by zero which was irrelevant but causes systems where
FP exceptions cause a crash. Added code to pngvalid to turn on FP
exceptions if the appropriate glibc support is there to ensure this is
tested in the future.
casts. The compression_type parameter is always assigned to, so must
be non-NULL. The cast of the profile length potentially truncated the
value unnecessarily on a 16-bit int system, so the cast of the (byte)
compression type to (int) is specified by ANSI-C anyway.
changes the 'Paeth' reconstruction function to improve the GCC code
generation on x86. The changes are only part of the suggested ones;
just the changes that definitely improve speed and remain simple.
The changes also slightly increase the clarity of the code. In a
in pngmem.c; pngvalid would attempt to call png_error() if the allocation
of a png_struct or png_info failed. This would probably have led to a
crash. The pngmem.c implementation of png_malloc() included a cast
to png_size_t which would fail on large allocations on 16-bit systems.
The logical shift fix for Microsoft Visual C is required by other compilers,
so this enables that fix for all compilers when using compile-time constants.
Under MSYS 'byte' is a name declared in a system header file, so we
changed the name of a local variable to avoid the warnings that result.
is not byte aligned, while reading. Prior to libpng-1.5.6 libpng would
overwrite the end of the image if the row width is not an exact multiple
of 8 bits and the image is not interlaced.
