SpriteExtend can cause catastrophic failure when attempting to plot certain JPEG files
| Reported by: | Christopher Martin (1504) | Severity: | Critical |
| Part: | RISC OS: Module | Release: | |
| Milestone: | Status | Open |
Details by Christopher Martin (1504):
I have a JPEG file (which came from a downloaded PDF being API documentation for another system, if that matters). I would attach the JPEG here with a mini app to demonstrate the fault, but I can’t see how to attach files to a bug report. Attempts to plot the JPEG using JPEG_PlotFileScaled cause SpriteExtend to abort on data transfer, sometimes in a catastrophic way that brings down the machine with a chain of aborts. Apps which use SpriteExtend die in a variety of ways when asked to load the JPEG in question. On an Iyonix running RISC OS 5.27 softloaded, !Paint crashed the machine on loading the JPEG. RISC OS 5.24’s !Paint on the same machine also died albeit less catastrophically. I am certain that it is the SpriteExtend module which is failing to handle the JPEG in question in a sensible manner because I have tested this theory with a one-line BASIC program. Using the X form of the SWI (XJPEG_PlotFileScaled) does not appear to make any difference.

- Attachment added: decoded.jpg
Just to check it decoded OK, is it a 705×2 JPEG which is very light grey?

A bit more fiddling locally, the issue is somewhere in romerge.c when trying to plot things less than an MCU tall (so 16 pixels for 2×2 sampling). But it’s not clear cut: if I have a pile of test images of heights 1-16, plotting them backwards (16 down to 1) instead of forwards (1 to 16) seems to work.
