those uses of png_memcpy that were doing a simple assignment to assignments
(all those cases where the thing being copied is a non-array C L-value.)
Added some error checking to png_set_*() routines and removed the
reference to the non-exported function png_memcpy() from example.c. Fixed
the Visual C 64-bit build - it requires jmp_buf to be aligned, but it had
become misaligned.
Added new "png_structrp" typedef. Because of the
way libpng works both png_info and png_struct are always accessed via a
single pointer. This means adding C99 'restrict' to the pointer gives
the compiler some opportunity to optimize the code. This change allows that.
changes alter how the tricky allocation of the initial png_struct and png_info
structures are handled. png_info is now handled in pretty much the same
way as everything else, except that the allocations handle NULL return
silently. png_struct is changed in a similar way on allocation and on
deallocation a 'safety' error handler is put in place (which should never
be required). The error handler itself is changed to permit mismatches
in the application and libpng error buffer size; however, this means a
silent change to the API to return the jmp_buf if the size doesn't match
the size from the libpng compilation; libpng now allocates the memory and
this may fail. Overall these changes result in slight code size
reductions; however, this is a reduction in code that is always executed
so is particularly valuable. Overall on a 64-bit system the libpng DLL
decreases in code size by 1733 bytes. pngerror.o increases in size by
about 465 bytes because of the new functionality.
to conditions where types that are 32 bits in the GCC 32-bit
world (uLong and png_size_t) become 64 bits in the 64-bit
world. This produces potential truncation errors which the
compiler correctly flags.
literal pointers declare them (John Bowler).
Many APIs did not change their arguments but were not declared using
PNG_CONST. This change corrects this. In a few cases APIs that return
constant string literal pointers have also been changed to declare this.
Unlike the argument change this may require app changes; however the
results could never be written to (the app would crash on some platforms
where strings are not writable), so this seems advisable.
that were recently introduced, mostly resulting from
safe but uncast assignments to shorter integers. Also added a zlib
VStudio release library project because the latest zlib Official Windows
build does not include such a thing.
