     I use libtiff 3.8.2 with openSuSE 10.3 on P4 32 bits.
     I have been able to remove the warning using

TIFFSetWarningHandler(NULL) before the while loop:

        TIFFErrorHandler whandler = TIFFSetWarningHandler(NULL);
        while (fakeFile->tif_rawcc > 0)
        {
                if (!((*fakeFile->tif_decoderow)(fakeFile, (tidataval_t *)rowBuf,
(tsize_t)lineSize, (tsample_t)0)))
                {
                          //bad line detected
                          badFaxLines++;
                } else
                {
                         //good line
                };

fakeFile is a TIFF file handler used only to decompress received data and then to compute the image length, the number of bad lines, etc. I have used as model "fax2tiff.c". Here is how fakeFile is initialized:

                fakeFile = TIFFClientOpen("(FakeInput)", "w", NULL,

                                dummyReadProc, dummyWriteProc,
                                dummySeekProc, dummyCloseProc, dummySizeProc,
                                dummyMapProc, dummyUnmapProc);

                TIFFSetMode(fakeFile, O_RDONLY);
                setBasicTags(fakeFile);

all dummy functions return 0 except for "dummyWriteProc" which returns "size", the last of its arguments.

However, I would like to know if there is a better way to remove this warning, because it seems that some internal variable of the tiff library is not initialized.

Further, when computing the number of bad lines, "badFaxLines", actually it's the number of detections of bad lines, since a bad line could contain several lines of the actual fax image. Is this correct? Is there a better way to detect the number of bad lines?
