This pull request adds support for libpng v1.6.50.

It is an update based on the official libpng repo at https://github.com/pnggroup/libpng/tree/v1.6.50

Changes are confined to the Hunter-specific CMake configuration files (CMakeLists.txt and cmake/Config.cmake.in).

Tested and confirmed working on macOS.

ctruta and others added 30 commits July 30, 2023 17:07
Introduce CI_TARGET_TRIPLET and CI_TARGET_ABI.

Rename CI_HOST_MACHINE and CI_TARGET_MACHINE, respectively, to
CI_HOST_ARCH and CI_TARGET_ARCH, following on the conventional
target triplet nomenclature.

Introduce CI_BUILD_SYSTEM and CI_BUILD_ARCH, following on the
GNU Autotools (host/build/target) practice and nomenclature.

Ensure that CI_TARGET_SYSTEM, CI_TARGET_ARCH and CI_TARGET_ABI
are all initialized when verifying a cross-platform build.

Work around an obscure CMake error by ensuring that CMake variables
(CMAKE_AR and CMAKE_RANLIB) are initialized to the full executable
paths of their CI_* equivalents (CI_AR and CI_RANLIB).

Implement other general-purpose improvements:
 * Check all CI_NO_* variables in an arithmetic context, to allow
   setting them explicitly to zero in external configurations.
 * Label the assertions with descriptions of what's being asserted.
 * Add more comments and tracing printouts.
This PR adds two set of options to the configure script:
    --enable-png-tests/--disable-png-tests
and
    --enable-png-tools/--disable-png-tools

By using this feature, a user will be allowed to build only library if
needed, which will be useful on platforms not able to build the tools
and/or the tests.
This PR leaves the existing behaviour as default setting, by building
both the tools and the tests if the options are not used.

CMakeLists.txt already supports this feature with the options PNG_TESTS
and PNG_EXECUTABLES. After this commit, Autotools will provide the same
feature.

Rename
    --enable-png-tests/--disable-png-tests
    --enable-png-tools/--disable-png-tools
to
    --enable-tests/--disable-tests
    --enable-tools/--disable-tools
respectively.

While the `PNG_` prefix is necessary in CMakeLists.txt, a corresponding
`--...-png-` option qualifier would be redundant in a configure script.
For the sake of consistency with a recent addition to the configure
script, the option name PNG_EXECUTABLES (introduced in libpng-1.6.38)
shall become PNG_TOOLS.

PNG_EXECUTABLES is still maintained as a deprecated option, allowing
the applications that use it to be built without modification, but a
deprecation warning will be issued.

1. Set `cmake_minimum_required` to 3.5
   (see https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/release/3.27.html)
2. Specify the version of CMake project
3. Remove the redundant call to `cmake_policy`
4. Use `CMAKE_INSTALL_BINDIR` and `CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR`
5. Use private library linking for tools and test programs
6. Don't activate testing if it was not enabled

Rename `CI_HOST_ARCH` and `CI_HOST_SYSTEM`, to `CI_BUILD_ARCH` and
`CI_BUILD_SYSTEM`, following the nomenclature used by GNU Autotools.
Unfortunately, the word "host" has confusingly opposite meanings in
CMake (and Bazel, etc.) vs. Autotools (and Meson, etc.)

Remove `CI_TARGET_TRIPLET` and `CI_TARGET_ABI` (for now).

Introduce the function `ci_expr` as a fast and easy equivalent of
`expr >/dev/null`.

Rephrase the assertions using an implementation pattern that is more
expressive, yet (arguably) just as readable. Remove `ci_assert`.

Modify the main functions to display more useful information in case
of usage error.
Update the Travis CI matrix:
 * Run ASan and UBSan unconditionally on FreeBSD and Linux, and
   not at all on Mac.
 * Remove the `CI_NO_TEST=1` runs from the environment column.

Update the AppVeyor CI matrix:
 * Replace `CI_NO_TEST=1` with `CI_CMAKE_VARS=-DPNG_TESTS=0` when
   testing Visual Studio on ARM64.

Also apply minor stylistic changes.
Avoid using `cmake --option=value` and `ctest --option=value`, to stay
compatible with older versions of CMake.

This reverts commit 9c1dc4d.

The new regex for Intel can match "x86_64", but it fails with "x86".
Moreover, the new regex for MIPS needs more testing on all MIPS ISAs.

The PNG_FRAMEWORK option used to be off by default. It was possible to
turn it on, regardless of the underlying operating system, but doing so
outside of an Apple OS broke the libpng build.

PNG_FRAMEWORK is now on by default, conditionally defined on Apple
systems only, and it is ignored (without breaking the build) elsewhere.

Other minor changes have also been applied.
Remove the inclusion of the external module `CMakeParseArguments`.
Function argument parsing became a first-class feature in CMake 3.5.

Delete the function `find_symbol_prefix`. It is no longer used.

Use variables instead of strings in string operations where possible.
Prevent CMake from getting confused by string values that might be
accidentally identical to unrelated keywords.

Clean up spurious `.*` sequences in regex matching operations.

Rephrase a comment.
Use the `CMAKE_HOST_SOLARIS` variable, introduced in CMake 3.6, and
raise `cmake_minimum_required` accordingly.
Although the minimum required CMake version is 3.6, this policy will
only have effect under CMake 3.12 or newer.

The old implementation of png_have_msa() caused a bus error,
if a word in /proc/cpuinfo was longer than 10 characters.

In the original implementation, `word[10]` was too short, and
`word[i++] = ch` caused a stack smash if the characters between
spaces were more than 10.

And also, fclose(f) should be called before leaving.

For example on loongson ls3a4000 cpu platform:

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo

The <stdint.h> header is a standard C99 header, and a MIPS-specific
header, but it is not a standard C89 header. It should not be included
until ensuring that the code being compiled is MIPS-specific.
makepngs.sh relies on a Bash feature in one of its case statements,
";;&"; this should be made explicit in the shebang.

intgamma.sh declares a function in a manner which may fail in non-Bash
sh implementations, this patch uses the correct syntax.

The old note about this function being unlikely to work correctly was
likely incorrect.
Raise the minimum required CMake version to 3.5.

Add the configuration option `PNGMINUS_USE_SYSTEM_PNG` for compiling
and linking with the system libpng library instead of the internal one.

Remove the old configuration option `PNGMINUS_USE_STATIC_LIBRARIES`.
When using the internal libpng (via `PNGMINUS_USE_SYSTEM_PNG=OFF`),
simply enforce static linking and produce single-file executables.

Rename the scripts "png2pnm.sh" (etc.) to "test_png2pnm.sh" (etc.),
to make it obvious that they are test drivers, not program launchers.

Add a .gitignore file for project-specific build and test artifacts.
Improve png2pnm.c:

 * Add support for writing 16-bit raw PNM image files.

Fix and improve pnm2png.c:

 * Add support for reading 16-bit raw PNM image files.

 * Fix the parsing of arbitrarily long numeric strings.
   In the parsing of PNM tokens, we can and we should avoid storing
   more than one leading '0' in the token buffer. All valid (in-range)
   numeric strings must fit in this limited-size buffer, regardless of
   their actual length in the input file.

 * Refactor the PNM parsing in order to make it more capable to handle
   various kinds of input file errors.

 * Remove the volatile qualifiers from all variable declarations.
   Their original purpose was to appease old (and incorrect) warnings
   issued by ancient optimizing compilers.

 * Print a note about the program's lack of support for the PAM ("P7")
   file format when the input is in this format.

 * Add FIXME notes about the need to signal incorrect or incomplete
   input files. (For png2pnm, this is done inside libpng.)
Improve and modernize png2pnm.c:

 * Remove the explicit reading of the input PNG file signature.
   Libpng is now able to read it, check it, and issue an appropriate
   error message in case of magic number mismatch or file corruption.
   (See the function `png_read_sig`.)

 * Remove the explicit allocation and dealocation of the image data.
   Libpng is now able to manage all the image data automatically.
   (See the function `png_read_png`.)

 * Specify the needed image transformations without a-priori checking
   the image type for applicability.

 * Use the `png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8` transformation.
   Since libpng version 1.2.9, this transformation (if needed) must
   be enabled separately from `png_set_expand`.

Improve and modernize pnm2png.c:

 * Modify the allocation of image data, in order to match libpng's
   internal allocation model.

 * Transfer the ownership of the image data from the `pnm2png` function
   to libpng, which will manage and dealocate it at the right time.
   (See the functions `png_set_image_rows` and `png_data_freer`.)

Refactor, clean up, etc.
The pngminus programs use several PNG image transformations:
`png_set_expand`, `png_set_expand_1_2_4_to_8`, etc. (in png2pnm.c);
`png_set_packing`, `png_set_invert_mono`, etc. (in pnm2png.c).
The availability of all of these transformations in libpng is now
required at compile time.

On the topic of transformations, apply an unrelated fix to the use
of `png_set_gamma`.
Defer the program termination on error until all files are closed and
(if applicable) all incompletely-written output files are deleted.

In addition, perform the following maintenance tasks:
 * Rename and document the internal helpers used by the functions
   `png2pnm` and `pnm2png`.
 * Unset the executable permission bits for the *.bat test programs.

Allow the CMake build to work properly, even if file paths (in the
source directory, in the build directory, or in the install directory)
might contain whitespace characters.

Improve the check for compilers that might use MSVC Runtime library
headers on Windows. We use POSIX-ish ("deprecated") functions, even
on Windows, and we want no spurious warnings.

Tidy up the CMake file: rearrange declarations, rewrite comments, etc.
Counter-intuitively, defining the PNG_DEBUG macro as 1 (i.e. setting
the debug verbosity level to 1) does *not* cause any of the existing
debug traces to show up. This setting would have worked if we had trace
statements like `png_debug(0, message)`, but we don't have any.

Debug traces do show up for verbosity levels from 2 to 5. The libpng
manual describes in detail how they are meant to be used.

According to the history of the CMake file, as well as the history of
other project files, PNG_DEBUG was never set to a numeric value larger
than 1. In other words, these debug settings inside these build files
never produced any output in any (unmodified) libpng version.

(As for the configure build, PNG_DEBUG has no special treatment there.)

Considering the plethora of alternative methods to pass C preprocessor
options through our build files, scripts and projects onto libpng, we'd
rather discontinue PNG_DEBUG as a dedicated build option.
A funny thing happened while refactoring the function argument parsing
in the `PNGGenConfig` module: the processing of dependencies inside
the CMake function `generate_copy` got fixed, thanks to an inadvertent
typo correction!

Going down the rabbit hole, we uncovered two issues:

 1. A typo in `scripts/cmake/PNGGenConfig.cmake` caused a dependency
    declaration to disappear, disrupting the graph. Fortunately, this
    disruption was being mitigated by an additional set of (redundant)
    symbolic target declarations that kept the CMake build going.

 2. The exact string matching inside `scripts/cmake/gensrc.cmake.in`
    imposed an artificial limitation, disallowing the use of absolute
    file paths.

The typo correction in (1), and the use of regex matching instead of
exact string matching in (2), allowed us to use absolute file paths
in the main CMake file, consistently, thus allowing CMake to recognize
them as uniquely-identifiable nodes in the dependency graph. There
should be no further need to have extra symbolic targets for proper
node identification.

In the end, we shaved off the redundant symbolic target declarations,
retaining only `png_genfiles` and `png_genprebuilt`.

Add contrib/examples/.clang-format, tailored to fit the existing code
as closely as possible. The end goal is to set up automatic formatting
for the entire libpng source tree. We're doing this experiment in this
subdirectory, for now.

Also make refactoring changes, as follows:

 * Rewrite the preprocessor checks `#if PNG_FOO_SUPPORTED` to stop
   compilation immediately, with a descriptive `#error` about what
   needs to be supported.

 * Rewrite and reflow comments, add braces and brackets, and make other
   minor modifications that are suited for the clang-format'ed code.

PNG_AFTER_IDAT was not set by the IDAT read code if unknown chunk
handling was turned on.  This was hidden in the current tests by checks
within the text handling chunks. (For example, pngtest.png has a zTXt
chunk after IDAT.)

This change modifies both the sequential and the progressive reader to
reliably set PNG_AFTER_IDAT when the first non-IDAT chunk is seen and
before that chunk is processed.

The change is minimalist; PNG_HAVE_CHUNK_AFTER_IDAT can probably be
removed and replaced with PNG_AFTER_IDAT.  Making the latter change is
something to be considered in libpng2.
