freeimage 3.17 library build failing on Mac OS X: fails with C++11 narrowing error... any ideas?


With not having any understanding of C++ (I'm teaching myself Swift), I'm struggling a bit to get around this one - but ideally would love to be able to expose some of the functionality in the FreeImage library in my project.

It appears that only one module is generating any errors: dcraw_common.cpp - and the lines in error are those from the following entry list where there is a value of 0x80 or above. From the investigations I've done, it would appear that these values are too large for a signed char (max 128?), yet the list also includes negative numbers, and so it can't use an unsigned char.

Any help would be most gratefully received.

Here's an example of the error message generated by the make process:

    Source/LibRawLite/./internal/dcraw_common.cpp:4543:19: error: constant expression evaluates to 136 which cannot be narrowed to type 'signed char'
    [-Wc++11-narrowing]
        +1,-1,+1,+1,0,0x88, +1,+0,+1,+2,0,0x08, +1,+0,+2,-1,0,0x40,
                      ^~~~

And here's the code:

    void CLASS vng_interpolate()
    {
      static const signed char *cp, terms[] = {
        -2,-2,+0,-1,0,0x01, -2,-2,+0,+0,1,0x01, -2,-1,-1,+0,0,0x01,
        -2,-1,+0,-1,0,0x02, -2,-1,+0,+0,0,0x03, -2,-1,+0,+1,1,0x01,

      }, chood[] = { -1,-1, -1,0, -1,+1, 0,+1, +1,+1, +1,0, +1,-1, 0,-1 };
    ...

Solution

  • C++11 prevents 'narrowing conversions' like that. Early versions of C++ would accept them. I think this patch to the source of dcraw_common.cpp should fix it.
