loadFromStream() - read() exceeds file size
« on: April 28, 2012, 11:50:32 am »
When I load a sf::SoundBuffer or sf::Music through a stream, read() is passed a size which leads to reading past the end of the stream.

#include <SFML/Audio.hpp>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>

class MyStream : public sf::InputStream
{
        public:
                MyStream(const char* filename)
                : stream(filename, std::ios::in | std::ios::binary)
                {
                }

                virtual sf::Int64 read(void* data, sf::Int64 size)
                {
                        std::cout << "Begin      " << tell() << "\n";
                        std::cout << "End        " << tell() + size << "\n";
                        std::cout << "Total size " << getSize() << "\n\n";

                        stream.read(static_cast<char*>(data), size);
                        if (!stream)
                        {
                                std::cout << "FAIL\n";
                                std::exit(0);
                        }

                        return stream.gcount();
                }

                virtual sf::Int64 seek(sf::Int64 position)
                {
                        stream.seekg(position);
                        return tell();
                }

                virtual sf::Int64 tell()
                {
                        return stream.tellg();
                }

                virtual sf::Int64 getSize()
                {
                        sf::Int64 backup = tell();
                        stream.seekg(0, std::ios::end);

                        sf::Int64 size = tell();
                        seek(backup);

                        return size;
                }

        private:
                std::ifstream stream;
};

int main()
{
        MyStream stream("Music.ogg");

        sf::SoundBuffer buffer;
        bool success = buffer.loadFromStream(stream);

        sf::Sound sound(buffer);
        sound.play();
        sf::sleep(buffer.getDuration());
}
success is false in some cases (for wav, it seemed to work), but there is no SFML error output on the console.

Instead of size, one can write std::min(size, getSize() - tell()), but I suggest to handle this on SFML side if possible. I don't know however how well you can influence the low-level library callbacks, maybe this is given.

In case you cannot reproduce the problem, I'll upload an OGG file.

You should rather open an issue in the tracker, otherwise I'll forget it :)

Hey, another question: Are read() accesses of sf::Music concurrent?

I have an archive from which I load different resources on demand through sf::InputStream, and at the same time a music is playing (also streaming from that same archive). The archive accesses aren't threadsafe.

Some resources fail to load without an error message, and I couldn't reproduce the behavior. Really annoying bug, but it would make sense now...

Yep, sf::Music calls read in its own thread.

Okay, thank you.

Can you add an advice concerning race conditions to the sf::Music::loadFromStream() function and maybe also to sf::InputStream? Archives are probably the main use case of sf::InputStream, but one doesn't immediately think about the threading implications of having a single archive file from which multiple resources are read.
