I did a pass using the canonical build instructions for MSVC and got some additional warnings similar to:
tif_lzw.c(389): warning C4244: '+=': conversion from 'tmsize_t' to 'long', possible loss of data tif_lzw.c(606): warning C4244: '+=': conversion from 'tmsize_t' to 'long', possible loss of data tif_lzw.c(715): warning C4244: '=': conversion from 'tmsize_t' to 'long', possible loss of data
This type of warning is quite worrysome. For Windows builds, the 'long' type is always 32-bit whereas it is usually 64-bit on Unix systems. Undetected overflow will result in wrong processing, and may represent an available security exploit.
Can you post the full list of such warnings?
