Hi, Joris

Robert,

But I still don't quite see how to do that, is there a routine pass the client allocation routine (in the way you pass file routines to TIFFClientOpen?) I don't see this in the man page you reference.

It's been many years since I fooled around with this, so I really can't remember exactly... But I think LibTiff maintains some global pointers to the allocation routines and such, and you can simply set these pointers to point

> to your own instead. Take a good look at the implementation of these routines

I don't see how to do it without altering the code of libtiff, as far as I can tell _TIFFMalloc just calls malloc() (on unix) and I suppose that, at compile time, the build system uses a different allocation routine depending upon the platform it's on. It would be better for me not to use TIFF than to require having a special 'hacked' version of libtiff!

Tif_unix.c:

238 void*
239 _TIFFmalloc(tsize_t s)
240 {
241 return (malloc((size_t) s));
242 }

Tif_win32.c:

274
275 tdata_t
276 _TIFFmalloc(tsize_t s)
277 {
278 return ((tdata_t)GlobalAlloc(GMEM_FIXED, s));
279 }

Or am I not understanding something even more clever?

Thanks
Robert
