[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40267] imread ('default.img') causes segfault

[Carnë Draug]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #40267 (project octave):

1) yes.

2) fixed with cset 292319fb7fcc. Took me a while to get the cause of it
because the reading was already in a try/catch block and I couldn't understand
why it was not being caught. the exception was being thrown from the call to
ping().

3) Because GM can do it. Try the following: 


echo "hello world" > img.txt
gm identify img.txt
gm display img.txt


If you take a closer look to that "all white image", you'll notice that it
also has the words "hello world" in black somewhere. I can see them with
imshow().

We are relying on GM to decide what it can read and not. We could blacklist
some of the coders though. By the way, GM should be able to read matlab files
as well. See http://www.graphicsmagick.org/formats.html
