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. + Fix for the preprocessor of the Intel C compiler. The preprocessor + splits adjacent @ signs with a space; this changes the concatentation + token from @-@-@ to PNG_JOIN; that should work with all compiler + preprocessors. + Paeth filter speed improvements from work by Siarhei Siamashka. This + 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. + Check compression_type parameter in png_get_iCCP and remove spurious + 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. + Fixed FP division by zero in pngvalid.c; the 'test_pixel' code left + 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. + Added versioning to pnglibconf.h comments. + Installed more accurate linear to sRGB conversion tables. 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. + Added run-time detection of NEON support. + Multiple transform bug fixes plus a work-round for double gamma correction. + libpng does not support more than one transform that requires linear data + at once - if this is tried typically the results is double gamma + correction. Since the simplified APIs can need rgb to gray combined with + a compose operation it is necessary to do one of these outside the main + libpng transform code. This check-in also contains fixes to various bugs + in compose and rgb to gray (on palette). + Fixes for C++ compilation using g++ When libpng source is compiled + 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. + Added --noexecstack to assembler file compilation. GCC does not set + this on assembler compilation, even though it does on C compilation. + This creates security issues if assembler code is enabled; the + work-around is to set it by default in the flags for $(CCAS) + Removed "zTXt" from warning in generic chunk decompression function. + Validate time settings passed to pngset() and png_convert_to_rfc1123() + (Frank Busse). + Added MINGW support to CMakeLists.txt + Reject invalid compression flag or method when reading the iTXt chunk. + Moved pngvalid.c into contrib/libtests + Rebuilt Makefile.in, configure, etc., with autoconf-2.68 + Replaced an "#if" with "#ifdef" in pngrtran.c + Revised #if PNG_DO_BC block in png.c (use #ifdef and add #else) + Revised pngconf.h to use " __declspec(restrict)" only when MSC_VER >= 1400, + as in libpng-1.5.4. + Put CRLF line endings in the owatcom project files. + Updated CMakeLists.txt to account for the relocation of pngvalid.c + Minor fixes to pngvalid.c for gcc 4.6.2 compatibility to remove warnings + reported by earlier versions.
