| fix-endianess-bug-in-pcx-reader.patch | Fix endianness bug in PCX reader on big endian architectures When reading from a sequential device, the peekHeader() method in the PCX readers reads the header its defined little endian into arch-specific endianness for multibyte types. . Being a "peek" method, it then it tries to push back the bytes into the device after reading for its next use, but it doesn’t convert multibyte types correctly from arch-specifice endianness to the initial little endian format. . Subsequent reading of the data from the device will thus lead to incorrect values for multibyte types on the next use. . This patch reuses the same technique as the TGA reader to read the whole header as bytes before deserializing it, so that the bytes can be pushed back into the sequential device in the same order. |
