We already support
streamtype=2
to skip producing JPEG tables, butstreamtype=1
, which skips everything but the tables, was never implemented. Thestreamtype=1
stub code dates to Git pre-history, so it's not immediately clear why. Implement the missing support.jpeg_write_tables()
can't resume after a full output buffer (it fails withJERR_CANT_SUSPEND
), so it might seem that Pillow needs to pre-compute the necessary buffer size. However, in the normal case of producing an interchange stream, the tables are written via the same libjpeg codepath during the firstjpeg_write_scanlines()
call, and table writes aren't resumable there either. Thus, any buffer large enough for the normal case will also be large enough for a tables-only file.I've opted to implement the early exit with a
goto
rather than refactoring the state machine. If thegoto
is not desired, it would be possible to add a dedicated cleanup state, do an early return after writing tables, and require a second call into the state machine to finish cleanup.The
streamtype
option isn't documented and this PR doesn't change that. It does add a test though.
