sws_scale crash with PIX_FMT_YUVJ420P -> PIX_FMT_RGB24

[rich99]

Last ffmpeg built from git, 10/20/2011 10:22:50AM.

Win7 x64, VS2010, built using migGW and msys, gcc 4.5.2.

Build options:
./configure --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-memalign-hack --target-os=mingw32 --arch=i686 --cpu=i686 --enable-avisynth --enable-zlib --enable-bzlib --enable-pthreads --enable-runtime-cpudetect --disable-encoders --enable-swscale --extra-cflags=-USTRICT_ANSI

Everything works fine with playback except some crashes when using sws_scale and certain video files. Here is an example that always crashes with a sample code provided. I have stripped all checks to simplify the code to the maximum. The sample video is also attached. If I don't use sws_scale, everything works fine.

File used in code that causes crash.

[rich99]

Crash also happens with older versions of sws_scale and ffmpeg. Source code has been attached and was compiled and run with VS2010 on intel i7 2600K.

[cehoyos]

Please provide backtrace etc. as explained on http://ffmpeg.org/bugreports.html and please confirm that the crash also happens if you use gcc.

[rich99]

The bug still happens with gdb. Compilation command used was the following:
gcc -g -ID:\devel\dependencies\ffmpeg_git\include sws_scale_test.cpp -o sws_d.exe -lavcodec -lavdevice -lavutil -lavformat -lswscale -LD:\devel\dependencies\ffmpeg_git\liblin

The backtrace was included in the attachment ffdmjpeg_crash_swscale.txt.

[rich99]

compiled this file and gave ffdmjpeg.avi as argument

[rich99]

gdb debug crash info

[rich99]

Compiled again with latest git version with following command and still crash. Files have been updated for git 10/24/2011 5:45:44PM.

gcc sws_scale_test.cpp -o ffdmjpeg -ID:/devel/dependencies/ffmpeg/ -LD:/devel/dependencies/ffmpeg/liblin -lavcodec -lavdevice -lavutil -lavformat -lswscale

Just to make sure, this is the final code, also attached as cpp.
