In reviewing that bug report there is nothing concluded for committal. If an agreeable patch appears there it would be committed to CVS.
It's agreeable by me. :) Some of the objections were/are:
- It changes API semantics for tif_win32.c. I think this fear is unfounded given than we've defaulted to tif_unix.c for at least years now (CVS change was made in Mar 2005). Changing the default to tif_win32.c without the patch is more dangerous to me now because a lot of client apps have been building with tif_unix.c all along.
- It was feared that older build systems like Visual C++ 6.0 might not work. I noted that this issue should not be a problem in theory because of the MSDN documentation. This point is probably now moot anyhow because people have enough trouble even finding MSVC 2005 these days.
- In terms of source code compatibility, I offered an approach that should be sufficient to alert library users when compiling libtiff 4 by issuing a #error when USE_WIN32_FILEIO is defined. This is already a lot better than the change to TIFFFindFieldInfo() which silently does nothing.
