sorry, first I attached the file in my mail tool, then I restored the 
original file in order to do another test before sending the mail.

This time the correct file should be attached 
(tif_stream_old_patch.cxx), although it looks like it is too late. ;-)

I made a diff of your changes and mine. Concerning issue 1, it looks 
pretty much the same, except that it extended the tiffis_data class by a 
pointer to an ostream object and therefore renamed the class to 
tiffios_data, whereas you decided to use a new class tiffos_data.

It is probably a good idea to get rid off that seek, if it is really 
unnecessary.

I totally agree with that. ;-(
Unfortunately, the standard falls short for streams, leaving too much 
flexibility to the compiler builders, resulting in compiler dependent 
implementations which makes it impossible to use stream past the 
boundaries where you can guarantee that the same compiler with the same 
version is used.
Hence, one can not use streams within the API of SDKs. ;-(

Thanks for quickly providing a fix!

With this fix I get a valid TIFF image with the correct size and color 
depth, but unfortunately it is all black.

I had a look at your changes and noticed that at one point

118:    switch( whence ) {
119:        case SEEK_SET:
120:            origin = data->myStreamStartPos;
121:            break;

seeks to the original starting position and then

135:    if( origin + off > data->myStreamStartPos ) {

kicks in, resulting in

140:    // fill the intermediate space
141:    num_fill = origin + off - (toff_t)os->tellp();

to fill in zeros from the start of the file. This overwrote the entire 
image data which have been already written to the file. ;-(

I patched this to

140:    // extend the stream to the expected size
141:    os->seekp(0, ios::end);
142:    num_fill = origin + off - (toff_t)os->tellp();

which resulted in a valid TIFF file with my test image.

The patched file (tif_stream.cxx) is attached to this mail, hopefully I 
do not mess it up this time.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Cheers,
Michael
