When profiling I/O in the uncompressed case, I noticed that TIFFRead/WriteEncodedStrip/Tile used memcpy() to copy the data between the user provided buffer and the tif_rawdata intermediate buffer. I've committed an improvement to avoid that: https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/changeset/34533 It works fine in my testing, but I'm not sure if I may have forgotten corner cases in the use of the API that would need additional checks and you may be aware of.

Seems like in the write case, you've added a new assumption that it's okay for the library to clobber the user-supplied buffer contents. I'm dubious about that, the more so since it only happens in some cases.

Tom,

Actually, the clobbering already happened (and is indeed a pain to deal with on the application side). The

        /* swab if needed - note that source buffer will be altered */
        tif->tif_postdecode( tif, (uint8*) data, cc );

was already done in the general case: https://github.com/vadz/libtiff/blob/Release-v4-0-6/libtiff/tif_write.c#L265 and
