The IJG convention is to format copyright notices as:
Copyright (C) YYYY, Owner.
We try to maintain this convention for any code that is part of the
libjpeg API library (with the exception of preserving the copyright
notices from Cendio's code verbatim, since those predate
libjpeg-turbo.)
Note that the phrase "All Rights Reserved" is no longer necessary, since
all Buenos Aires Convention signatories signed onto the Berne Convention
in 2000. However, our convention is to retain this phrase for any files
that have a self-contained copyright header but to leave it off of any
files that refer to another file for conditions of distribution and use.
For instance, all of the non-SIMD files in the libjpeg API library refer
to README.ijg, and the copyright message in that file contains "All
Rights Reserved", so it is unnecessary to add it to the individual
files.
The TurboJPEG code retains my preferred formatting convention for
copyright notices, which is based on that of VirtualGL (where the
TurboJPEG API originated.)
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.
These days, INT32 is a commonly-defined datatype in system headers. We
cannot eliminate the definition of that datatype from jmorecfg.h, since
the INT32 typedef has technically been part of the libjpeg API since
version 5 (1994.) However, using INT32 internally is risky, because the
inclusion of a particular header (Xmd.h, for instance) could change the
definition of INT32 from long to int on 64-bit platforms and thus change
the internal behavior of libjpeg-turbo in unexpected ways (for instance,
failing to correctly set __INT32_IS_ACTUALLY_LONG to match the INT32
typedef-- perhaps as a result of including the wrong version of
jpeglib.h-- could cause libjpeg-turbo to produce incorrect results.)
The library has always been built in environments in which INT32 is
effectively long (on Windows, long is always 32-bit, so effectively it's
the same as int), so it makes sense to turn INT32 into an explicitly
long datatype. This ensures that libjpeg-turbo will always behave
consistently, regardless of the headers included at compile time.
Addresses a concern expressed in #26.
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.
