"no marker found where RST2 was expected" error on decoding a damaged-but-readable JPEG file

[Shnatsel]

This happens in image from git, revision 092db1e

Expected

Image decodes successfully

Actual behaviour

thread 'main' panicked at 'called Result::unwrap() on an Err value: Decoding(DecodingError { format: Exact(Jpeg), underlying: Some(Format("no marker found where RST2 was expected")) })', src/main.rs:3:18

Reproduction steps

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let path = std::env::args().skip(1).next().unwrap();
    let image = image::io::Reader::open(path)?.guess_format().decode().unwrap();
    Ok(())
}

The image has some artifacts, the file is likely damaged but the C implementation tries to decode this anyway. Since it's an edge case it's probably low priority.

yes, I have the same issue with different images.

Same issue here, really unclear as to how to debug this. Any update @Shnatsel ?

zune-jpeg can handle such images instead of panicking, so #1877 will fix this. It is expected to ship in the next semver-breaking release.
