LibTIFF is an open source library. Build it, and debug it.

Subject: [Tiff] TiffOpenW() crashes (raises exception) when Tiff file containing ASCII characters is opened in read mode RE:

Hello Chris,

TiffOpenW() crashes. I am using Lib TIFF DLL and Library and Lib TIFF source code is not available to me. I am not able to debug exactly why it is failing but call stack shows it fails in TiffClientOpen API.

When I refer to ASCII I mean that path of the TIFF file or name of the TIFF file contains ASCII characters only. Also, if path or name of file contains Non-ASCII characters then also TiffOpenW() crashes. As I already mentioned _wopen() is able to open the file successfully.

Thanks

First you say it crashes, then you say it throws exceptions: which is it?

And what do you mean by “non-ASCII is anyway failing”?

And are you talking about the filename being ASCII versus non-ASCII?
Some part of the path?
Some part of the metadata?

Have you used a debugger to see where the error is occurring inside TifOpenW?
