Re: [Boost-users] Standard error handler in gil jpeg_io extension calls exit()

Hi,

I'm using the gil jpeg_io extension

which calls the exit() function. I'd prefer to have an exception and handle the exception in my main program rather than in the library.

Is there a way to do that?

While new gil.io is not in boost distribution, you can use io_new available here: http://gil-contributions.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/gil_2/boost/gil/extension/... It can be used like this: gil::rgb8_image_t img; try { boost::gil::read_and_convert_image(filePath, img, boost::gil::jpeg_tag()); } catch (std::ios_base::failure&) { // oops } ----------- Sergey Mitsyn.
