The main justification for this is to provide new libjpeg-turbo users
with a quick & easy way of developing a complete JPEG
compression/decompression program without requiring them to build
libjpeg-turbo from source (which was necessary in order to use the
project-private bmp API) or to use external libraries. These new
functions build upon significant enhancements to rdbmp.c, wrbmp.c,
rdppm.c, and wrppm.c which allow those engines to convert directly
between the native pixel format of the file and a pixel format
("colorspace" in libjpeg parlance) specified by the calling program.
rdbmp.c and wrbmp.c have also been modified such that the calling
program can choose to read or write image rows in the native (bottom-up)
order of the file format, thus eliminating the need to use an inversion
array. tjLoadImage() and tjSaveImage() leverage these new underlying
features in order to significantly improve upon the performance of the
old bmp API.
Because these new functions cannot work without the libjpeg-turbo
colorspace extensions, the libjpeg-compatible code in turbojpeg.c has
been removed. That code was only there to serve as an example of how
to use the TurboJPEG API on top of libjpeg, but more specific, buildable
examples now exist in the https://github.com/libjpeg-turbo/ijg
repository.
- Provide a new C API function and TJException method that allows
calling programs to query the severity of a compression/decompression/
transform error.
- Provide a new flag that instructs the library to immediately stop
compressing/decompressing/transforming if a warning is encountered.
Fixes#151
Introduce a new C API function (tjGetErrorStr2()) that can be used to
retrieve compression/decompression/transform error messages in a
thread-safe (i.e. instance-specific) manner. Retrieving error messages
from global functions is still thread-unsafe.
Addresses a concern expressed in #151.
This reassures the caller that the buffers will not be modified and also
allows read-only buffers to be passed to the functions.
