In most situations of BigTIFF file, the tile/strip sizes are of reasonable size,
that is they fit on a 4-byte LONG. So in that case, use LONG instead of LONG8
to save some space. For uncompressed file, it is easy to detect such situations
by checking at the TIFFTileSize64()/TIFFStripSize64() return. For compressed file,
we must take into account the fact that compression may sometimes result in
larger compressed data. So we allow this optimization only for a few select
compression times, and take a huge security margin (10x factor). We also only
apply this optimization on multi-strip files, so as to allow easy on-the-fly
growing of single-strip files whose strip size could grow above the 4GB threshold.
This change is compatible with the BigTIFF specification. According to
https://www.awaresystems.be/imaging/tiff/bigtiff.html:
"The StripOffsets, StripByteCounts, TileOffsets, and TileByteCounts tags are
allowed to have the datatype TIFF_LONG8 in BigTIFF. Old datatypes TIFF_LONG,
and TIFF_SHORT where allowed in the TIFF 6.0 specification, are still valid in BigTIFF, too. "
On a practical point of view, this is also compatible on reading/writing of
older libtiff 4.X versions.
The only glitch I found, which is rather minor, is when using such a BigTIFF
file with TileByteCounts/StripByteCounts written with TIFF_LONG, and updating
it with an older libtiff 4.X version with a change in the
[Tile/Strip][ByteCounts/Offsets] array. In that case the _TIFFRewriteField()
function will rewrite the directory and array with TIFF_LONG8, instead of updating
the existing array (this is an issue fixed by this commit). The file will
still be valid however, hence the minor severity of this.
EXIF tags FILESOURCE and SCENETYPE are defined as TIFF_UNDEFINED and field_readcount==1!
There is a bug in TIFFReadDirEntryByte() preventing to read correctly type TIFF_UNDEFINED fields with field_readcount==1
Upgrade of TIFFReadDirEntryByte() with added TIFF_UNDEFINED switch-entry allows libtiff to read those tags correctly.
Fixes https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues/1439
When rewriting a LZW tile/strip whose existing size is very close to a multiple of
1024 bytes (and larger than 8192 bytes) with compressed data that is larger,
the new data was not placed at the end of the file, causing corruption.
uint8 value is promoted to int in (value << 24) so -fsanitize
yield runtime errors :
tiff2ps.c:2969:33: runtime error: left shift of 246 by 24 places cannot be represented in type 'int'
too much bytes were processed, causing a heap buffer overrun
http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2831
the loop counter must be
for (col = 0; col < width; col += 8 / bps)
Also the values were not properly calculated. It should be
255-x, 15-x, 3-x for bps 8, 4, 2.
But anyway it is easyer to invert all bits as 255-x = ~x, etc.
(substracting from a binary number composed of all 1 is like inverting
the bits)
