management system (CMS). In practice it is not possible to obtain cHRM
information reliably using just the end-point tags because they do not exist
in the vast majority of profiles. Instead it is necessary to run the endpoints
through the ICC colorimetric intent transform (as described in the v4
spec). Since this is likely to be too much code inside libpng for too
little gain (it implies a fairly complete CMS implementation) the code
has been changed to allow an external CMS to be used. This code is
temporarily disabled until a suitable set of test cases using one or more
external CMS implementations have been implemented.
contrib/libtests/makepng: corrected 'rgb' and 'gray' cases. profile_error
messages could be truncated; made a correct buffer size calculation and
adjusted pngerror.c appropriately. png_icc_check_* checking improved;
changed the functions to receive the correct color type of the PNG on read
or write and check that it matches the color space of the profile (despite
what the comments said before, there is danger in assuming the app will
cope correctly with an RGB profile on a grayscale image and, since it
violates the PNG spec, allowing it is certain to produce inconsistent
app behavior and might even cause app crashes.) Check that profiles
contain the tags needed to process the PNG (tags all required by the ICC
spec). Removed unused PNG_STATIC from pngpriv.h.
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.

using g++. The compiler imposes C++ rules on the C source; thus it
is desireable to make the source work with either C or C++ rules
without throwing away useful error information. This change adds
png_voidcast to allow C semantic (void*) cases or the corresponding
C++ static_cast operation, as appropriate.
This was because the attempt to reset the zlib stream in png_write_IDAT
happened after the first IDAT chunk had been deflated - much too late.
In this change internal functions are added to claim/release the z_stream
and, hopefully, make the code more robust. Also deflateEnd checking is
added - previously libpng would ignore an error at the end of the stream.
This change adds internal APIs to allow png_warning messages to have parameters
without requiring the host OS to implelment snprintf. As a side effect the
dependency of the RFC1132 code on stdio is removed and PNG_NO_WARNINGS does
actually work now.
the namespace. Added png_get_current_row_number and
png_get_current_pass_number for the
benefit of the user transform callback.
Added png_process_data_pause and png_process_data_skip for the benefit of
progressive readers that need to stop data processing or want to optimize
skipping of unread data (e.g. if the reader marks a chunk to be skipped.)
