Some testers needed!

I can not reproduce the BitBlt bug and I would like to get this right, so that surface pattern

paints use the correct form dimension.

Be sure, my fried, the bug is there, sitting in VM.

Bitblt implementation prereads a pixel from bitmap *before* checking the loop bounds, meaning that it reads at least a single byte beyond the actual contents of the bitmap.

It is not harmful in cases when bitmap is allocated in object memory since VM memory design actually guarantees, that there are at least certain amount of bytes in form of breathing space always available, so reading single word past any allocated object is not hurts..

But not in case, when bitmap residing in external heap.. because reading beyond allocated space might cause segmentation fault.. and it was, until i figured what was causing it and where the bug is.

The workaround, that i introduced was simply to tell Cairo to allocate surface 1 row taller and then use smaller height in bitblt operations, so it can never use the last row..

that, of course, going in conflict of using cairo for a patterns to fill things with bitmaps, which relying on surface's dimensions and using all its pixels..

hmm..

Prefered test setup:

a (fresh) pharo image

load bleeding edge from Bloc (because with bloc the whole (morphic) world is drawn with athens).

change to watery theme ( because it makes some heavy use of form fills)

verify that vertical scrollbars have this artifact (blank lines).

load the attached code (this code reverts igors change for the 1 pixel extra height.

please report back

what platform windows/linux/mac 32/64 bit

what pharo vm and image version.

For me

Windows 7�� 32 bit
Win32 built on Apr�� 9 2015 21:05:04 Compiler: 4.6.2
Latest update: #50039

-> no segfault

thanks in advance

I do not know. May be igor is reading this mailing-list but I doubt.

Anyone knows what this BitBlt bug is or was?

12818 Last row missing

13236 Fix 1 extra height for Cairo surface

Because with the fix in 13236, it is not (easily) possible to make
a repeating (vertical) pattern paint with 1 pixel height:
