The convention used by libjpeg:
type * variable;
is not very common anymore, because it looks too much like
multiplication. Some (particularly C++ programmers) prefer to tuck the
pointer symbol against the type:
type* variable;
to emphasize that a pointer to a type is effectively a new type.
However, this can also be confusing, since defining multiple variables
on the same line would not work properly:
type* variable1, variable2; /* Only variable1 is actually a
pointer. */
This commit reformats the entirety of the libjpeg-turbo code base so
that it uses the same code formatting convention for pointers that the
TurboJPEG API code uses:
type *variable1, *variable2;
This seems to be the most common convention among C programmers, and
it is the convention used by other codec libraries, such as libpng and
libtiff.
The IJG README file has been renamed to README.ijg, in order to avoid
confusion (many people were assuming that that was our project's README
file and weren't reading README-turbo.txt) and to lay the groundwork for
markdown versions of the libjpeg-turbo README and build instructions.
-- Auto-generates HAVE_LOCALE_H macro and adds it to jconfig.h (this is used by rdjpgcom.c.)
-- Reconciles the description and ordering of macros between config.h.in and jconfig.h.in, so the two files can be easily diffed.
-- Eliminates the use of the autoheader-generated config.h in the project and moves relevant internal-only macros into a new file, jconfigint.h. This is to avoid "already defined" warnings in files that were including both config.h (to get the internal autotools package information or the INLINE definition) and jconfig.h.
