Question CT 7.3 Big Sur JPEG issue

Hi,
Thanks for your great job. I just installed CT 7.3 on Mac/intel Big Sur 11.1 and I have issues trying to save (using bgrabitmap) or load in a memorystream a jpeg image :
The error message is : 'DCT coefficient out of range'.
Any idea ?
Thanks a lot, regards.

Try this simple code in console app:

Uses

... bgrabitmap, ...


procedure test;
var
abgra:tbgrabitmap;
begin
abgra:=tbgrabitmap.create;
abgra.loadfromfile('afile.png');
abgra.savetofile('afile.jpg');
abgra.free
end;

This creates the error ; I supect an issue with either the libjpeg (the error is within the libjpeg code), or the handling of this libjpeg by freepascal...

Thanks
 

I also tried using CT 7.3 on MacOSX Catalina ; same bug : DCT coefficient out of range.

Either Free Pascal error, or something else...
Free Pascal version used in CT 7.3 is 3.3.1 ; is it possible to install another FP version (3.2 e.g.), and if yes, how ?
Thanks, regards.

Thanks, but the problem is the same with TFPwriterJPEG, so I think it's not a TBGRABitmap issue, but a Free Pascal issue, or something else related to FP because this code is working on CT 7.0 and no working on CT 7.3 (error "DCT coefficient out of range") :

uses
FPimage,
  FPReadPNG, FPReadBMP, FPReadGif,
  FPWriteJPEG

function ConvertImage(ImgFile:string):Tmemorystream;
var
  ir: TFPCustomImageReader;
  jw: TFPWriterJPEG;
  im: TFPMemoryImage;
  ex:string;
begin
  ex := StringReplace(UpperCase(ExtractFileExt(imgFile)), '.', '', [rfReplaceAll]);
  if (ex = '') then
    Error('File without an extension!');
  try
    if (ex = 'PNG') then
      ir := TFPReaderPNG.Create
    else
    if ((ex = 'JPG') or (ex = 'JPEG')) then
      ir := TFPReaderJPEG.Create
    else
    if (ex = 'BMP') then
      ir := TFPReaderBMP.Create
    else
    if (ex = 'GIF') then
      ir := TFPReaderGif.Create
    else
      Error('Invalid extension from image: ' + ex);
    im := TFPMemoryImage.Create(0, 0);
    jw := TFPWriterJPEG.Create;
    im.LoadFromFile(imgFile, ir);
    Result := TMemoryStream.Create;
    im.SaveToStream(Result, jw);   
  finally
    ir.Free;
    im.Free;
    jw.Free;
  end;
end;
