- Refer to the "slow" [I]DCT algorithms as "accurate" instead, since
they are not slow under libjpeg-turbo.
- Adjust documentation claims to reflect the fact that the "slow" and
"fast" algorithms produce about the same performance on AVX2-equipped
CPUs (because of the dual-lane nature of AVX2, it was not possible to
accelerate the "fast" algorithm beyond what was achievable with SSE2.)
Also adjust the claims to reflect the fact that the "fast" algorithm
tends to be ~5-15% faster than the "slow" algorithm on
non-AVX2-equipped CPUs, regardless of the use of the libjpeg-turbo
SIMD extensions.
- Indicate the legacy status of the "fast" and float algorithms in the
documentation and cjpeg/djpeg usage info.
- Remove obsolete paragraph in the djpeg man page that suggested that
the float algorithm could be faster than the "fast" algorithm on some
CPUs.
- Restore GIF read/compressed GIF write support from jpeg-6a and
jpeg-9d.
- Integrate jpegtran -wipe and -drop options from jpeg-9a and jpeg-9d.
- Integrate jpegtran -crop extension (for expanding the image size) from
jpeg-9a and jpeg-9d.
- Integrate other minor code tweaks from jpeg-9*
libjpeg-turbo never included that code, because it requires an external
library (the Utah Raster Toolkit.) The RLE image format was supplanted
by GIF in the late 1980s, so it is rarely seen these days. (It had a
lousy Weissman score, anyhow.)
- Enable progress reporting at run time using a new -report argument
(cjpeg now supports that argument as well)
- Limit the allowable number of scans using a new -maxscans argument
- Treat warnings as fatal using a new -strict argument
This mainly demonstrates how to work around the two issues with the
JPEG standard described here:
https://libjpeg-turbo.org/pmwiki/uploads/About/TwoIssueswiththeJPEGStandard.pdf
since those and similar issues continue to be erroneously reported as
libjpeg-turbo bugs.
With rare exceptions ...
- Always separate line continuation characters by one space from
preceding code.
- Always use two-space indentation. Never use tabs.
- Always use K&R-style conditional blocks.
- Always surround operators with spaces, except in raw assembly code.
- Always put a space after, but not before, a comma.
- Never put a space between type casts and variables/function calls.
- Never put a space between the function name and the argument list in
function declarations and prototypes.
- Always surround braces ('{' and '}') with spaces.
- Always surround statements (if, for, else, catch, while, do, switch)
with spaces.
- Always attach pointer symbols ('*' and '**') to the variable or
function name.
- Always precede pointer symbols ('*' and '**') by a space in type
casts.
- Use the MIN() macro from jpegint.h within the libjpeg and TurboJPEG
API libraries (using min() from tjutil.h is still necessary for
TJBench.)
- Where it makes sense (particularly in the TurboJPEG code), put a blank
line after variable declaration blocks.
- Always separate statements in one-liners by two spaces.
The purpose of this was to ease maintenance on my part and also to make
it easier for contributors to figure out how to format patch
submissions. This was admittedly confusing (even to me sometimes) when
we had 3 or 4 different style conventions in the same source tree. The
new convention is more consistent with the formatting of other OSS code
bases.
This commit corrects deviations from the chosen formatting style in the
libjpeg API code and reformats the TurboJPEG API code such that it
conforms to the same standard.
NOTES:
- Although it is no longer necessary for the function name in function
declarations to begin in Column 1 (this was historically necessary
because of the ansi2knr utility, which allowed libjpeg to be built
with non-ANSI compilers), we retain that formatting for the libjpeg
code because it improves readability when using libjpeg's function
attribute macros (GLOBAL(), etc.)
- This reformatting project was accomplished with the help of AStyle and
Uncrustify, although neither was completely up to the task, and thus
a great deal of manual tweaking was required. Note to developers of
code formatting utilities: the libjpeg-turbo code base is an
excellent test bed, because AFAICT, it breaks every single one of the
utilities that are currently available.
- The legacy (MMX, SSE, 3DNow!) assembly code for i386 has been
formatted to match the SSE2 code (refer to
ff5685d5344273df321eb63a005eaae19d2496e3.) I hadn't intended to
bother with this, but the Loongson MMI implementation demonstrated
that there is still academic value to the MMX implementation, as an
algorithmic model for other 64-bit vector implementations. Thus, it
is desirable to improve its readability in the same manner as that of
the SSE2 implementation.
This re-introduces a feature of the obsolete system-specific libjpeg
memory managers-- namely the ability to limit the amount of main memory
used by the library during decompression or multi-pass compression.
This is mainly beneficial for two reasons:
- Works around a 2 GB limit in libFuzzer
- Allows security-sensitive applications to set a memory limit for the
JPEG decoder so as to work around the progressive JPEG exploit
(LJT-01-004) described here:
http://www.libjpeg-turbo.org/pmwiki/uploads/About/TwoIssueswiththeJPEGStandard.pdf
This commit also removes obsolete documentation regarding the MS-DOS
memory manager (which itself was removed long ago) and changes the
documentation of the -maxmemory switch and JPEGMEM environment variable
to reflect the fact that backing stores are never used in libjpeg-turbo.

This commit does the following:
-- Merges the two glueware functions (read_icc_profile() and
write_icc_profile()) from iccjpeg.c, which is contained in downstream
projects such as LCMS, Ghostscript, Mozilla, etc. These functions were
originally intended for inclusion in libjpeg, but Tom Lane left the IJG
before that could be accomplished. Since then, programs and libraries
that needed to embed/extract ICC profiles in JPEG files had to include
their own local copy of iccjpeg.c, which is suboptimal.
-- The new functions were prefixed with jpeg_ and split into separate
files for the compressor and decompressor, per the existing libjpeg
coding standards.
-- jpeg_write_icc_profile() was made slightly more fault-tolerant.
It will now trigger a libjpeg error if it is called before
jpeg_start_compress() or if it is passed NULL arguments.
-- jpeg_read_icc_profile() was made slightly more fault-tolerant.
It will now trigger a libjpeg error if it is called before
jpeg_read_header() or if it is passed NULL arguments. It will also
now trigger libjpeg warnings if the ICC profile data is corrupt.
-- The code comments have been wordsmithed.
-- Note that the one-line setup_read_icc_profile() function was not
included. Instead, libjpeg.txt now documents the need to call
jpeg_save_markers(cinfo, JPEG_APP0 + 2, 0xFFFF) prior to calling
jpeg_read_header(), if jpeg_read_icc_profile() is to be used.
-- Adds documentation for the new functions to libjpeg.txt.
-- Adds an -icc switch to cjpeg and jpegtran that allows those programs
to embed an ICC profile in the JPEG files they generate.
-- Adds an -icc switch to djpeg that allows that program to extract an
ICC profile from a JPEG file while decompressing.
-- Adds appropriate unit tests for all of the above.
-- Bumps the SO_AGE of the libjpeg API library to indicate the presence
of new API functions.

Quality values > 95 are not useless. They just may not provide as good
of a size vs. perceptual quality tradeoff as lower quality values. This
also displays the default quality value in the cjpeg usage.
