IMO the easiest way to handle the setjmp/longjmp issues for those that have to use the LibJPEG and/or LibPNG backends would be to simply skip the xjmp functions altogether and throw proper C++ exceptions from the error handlers...This might require (re)building the backend lib (and possibly linking statically) with C++ exceptions enabled on some platforms but this might prove to be easier in the end/long run...
I think we should get rid of those backends entirely. Phil stated interesting use cases in a different thread, that might not be accomplished with these libraries. Additionally to that I made bad experiences with libpng and non broken but somehow not conformant png images.
Andreas, Thank you for sharing your opinion. However, I'm afraid I am not sure how to count your post. Shall we consider your post as a review and voting? If yes, I'm afraid it is not complete enough to be taken as a review. Would you be willing to post more complete review and clearly cast your vote by specifying "yes" or "no"?
