1994.06.29 10:17 "tiff "Bugs and such" v3.3beta002", by Lars Farm
I picked up libtiff and have one small and fixed bug to report, a possible bug and a couple of problems that might be bad example images, problems with libtiff or my bugs. I want to know if the images are known to be good or bad.
First, may I ask about faxcompression?
I noticed that for the (Mac)-MPW port fax compression was excluded. This is because of the very large state tables in g3states.h. Using Metrowerks Codewarrior on Macintosh I had no problem compiling, but I get some 140000 bytes of global data in tif_fax3.c. I think this is rather a bit on the much side. Is there a leaner "tif_fax3.c" or a leaner way to do fax (de-)compression? sources available?

Problems in (v3.3beta002.src.tar.Z):
====================================
-- Problem # 1: tif_dir.c
-- there seems to be a misspelled variable in...
static int
TIFFSetField1(TIFF* tif, ttag_t tag, va_list ap)
{
/* around line 381: */
case TIFFTAG_TILEDEPTH:
v32 = va_arg(ap, uint32);
//+++ if (v == 0)
if ( v32 == 0 ) // seems to work better...
goto badvalue32;
td->td_tiledepth = v32;
break;
This is running on a (68K)Macintosh using Metrowerks C/C++ (compiler set to 16-bit ints (default on this compiler for 68K)).
-- (possible?) Problem # 2: tif_dir.c
-- (I don't know how many bits are needed at most.)
static int
TIFFSetField1(TIFF* tif, ttag_t tag, va_list ap)
{
/* around line 339:
will 1L<<td->td_bitspersample always fit into a signed 16-bit int? */
case TIFFTAG_COLORMAP:
v = 1L<<td->td_bitspersample;
setShortArray(&td->td_colormap[0], va_arg(ap, uint16*), v);
setShortArray(&td->td_colormap[1], va_arg(ap, uint16*), v);
setShortArray(&td->td_colormap[2], va_arg(ap, uint16*), v);
break;
fix(?): use v32 instead of v.
-- (possible?) Problem # 3: example tiff images
with the change above (and a bit of tweeking in tiffdump (ansi-i/o instead of unix-i/o)) tiffdump and tiffinfo might work. I say might because they complain about several of the example tiff-images. Is this (1) right, (2) indication of other problems in libtiff or (3) user bugs? Well, the question is: Are these images known to be correct or known to be bad?
What follows is example outputs from tiffdump and tiffinfo:
from tiffdump:
- cramps.tif DocumentName ( 269) SHORT ( 3) 1:<1>
- fax2d.tif DocumentName ( 269) SHORT ( 3) 1:<2>
- text.tif DocumentName ( 269) SHORT ( 3) 1:<1>
DocumentName ( 269) SHORT ( 3) 1:<1>
(text.tif has two directories)
I would have thought docname should be ascii, tiffinfo complains to (is ascii ascii (7bit) or are you allowed to use the whole alphabet - 8bit?)
- jim___dg.tif
Directory 1: offset 327962 (0x5011a)

327962 is the file size so there can't be another dir after the file.
