After taking a look at the current state of the BMP loader I decided it might be worth a shot at reimplementing that part. For example: the current loader doesn't properly handle 1- and 4-bit files, incorrectly loads 16-bit files as intensity-alpha (they are RGB555), is full of dead code, and generally not in very good shape.
Attached is my re-implementation for review.
I've checked it against the test images from http://wvnvaxa.wvnet.edu/vmswww/bmp.html and models that use BMP files.
"
size of the image data is greater than the actual image size. This
causes the memcpy call to go out of the array bounds. I modified the
code so that it copies the data during the iteration, instead of
memcpy'ing. This fixes the problems i was having.
If you are curious, the writer was crashing when trying to write an
RGB image that was 2050 x 1280. You might be able to reproduce it by
allocating an empty image of that size and writing it to a file."
completed the new registration of the plugin-readerwriters
("REGISTER_OSGPLUGIN") according to your osgstaticviewer-example (see
attachment, based on today's svn)."
instead of osgDB::Registry where it original lay. This has been done to allow
fileName strings to be encode data rather than just file names, such as one
requires when using PagedLOD along with plugins for doing dynamic tesselation.
2) Changed Makedepend system to make individual dependency files, which
should save time rebuilding dependencies by limiting the regeneration
of dependency file for only modified source files.
osg::Image::setImage has also been modified to require the AllocationMode
mode to be passed to it so that it knows how to delete the data once the
image goes out of scope.
Port the image plugins across to specify the new AllocationMode, and converted
them across to using new/delete in place of malloc/free.
library and plugin files that looked like system library and system files
which would have deleted original files on a 'make install'. Cygwin is not
tested yet, but this needed to get fixed before a cygwin user wiped out his
system library files.
added prefixes and suffixes to libs and plugins. ALl this to accomodate
cygwin...
Also added INST_SYS_PREFIX and INST_SHARE_PREFIX for installation, as well
as "standardizing" the install locations for the various platforms.
the Make directory is left with four files only :
makedefs
makerules
makedirrules
instrules
These work for all platforms supported so far, which include :
Linux
Irix
Solaris
MacOSX
Cygwin
FreeBSD
for settings options in osgDB::Registry, and added the paramter to all of the
reaader/writer plugins. The Options structure by default has an string attached
for packing basic options, however, it also can be subclassed to encapsulate
any users defined option data. In the later case both the client code *and*
the plugin need to be aware of subclass, the plugin will need to use
dynamic_cast<> to assertain its type.
