[giflib-devel] Help using gif library

[Smriti A. <smr...@gm...>]

Hello

I am working on a project  that includes reading and writing of gif images.
For opening the file i have simply called the method DGifOpenFile() which
itself calls DGifOpenFileHandle() and DGifGetScreeanDesc() methods. After
this method call when i call DGifGetRecordType() or any other method it gets
stuck in an infinite loop as no error message is printed the process
continues to be working, which requires manual interruption. I even tried
accessing screen description components of GifFileType struct but the same
thing happens.
  I have been trying to understand and sort this out for long, but could
find no probable reason for this. My project is in C++.

Please help me solve and understand this problem. Looking forward to the
reply.

Thanks.
