An int32 option cannot have a maximum of UINT32_MAX

Before this patch
  -trans_color       <int>        .D.V..... color value (ARGB) that is used instead of transparent color (from 0 to UINT32_MAX)

Afterwards:
  -trans_color       <int>        .D.V..... color value (ARGB) that is used instead of transparent color (from 0 to INT_MAX)

AV_OPT_TYPE_INT options are int64_t. In this case however the storage
type for trans_color in GifState is int.

Reading the code i see it's intended to be uint32_t, so i think the
correct fix is changing its storage type, and not limiting its allowed
range. Same with stored_bg_color.

Hi James,

Thanks for looking into this.

The purpose of this option is to indicate a "replacement color" for transparent pixels.
Such a replacement color itself can never have an alpha component.

I was unsure how to indicate this. Maybe, by setting the maximum to 0x00FFFFFF ?

In that case set the max to GIF_TRANSPARENT_COLOR (default value), which
is 0x00FFFFFF.

Storage type as int in the struct is still wrong IMO, but i guess it's
harmless. I'll let others chime in either way.

Thanks James,

I agree with all your comments. 
But to be honest, I didn't intend to get into gif decoder development.

I had just seen this:

$ ffmpeg -h decoder=gif

Decoder gif [GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)]:
    General capabilities: dr1
    Threading capabilities: none
gif decoder AVOptions:
  -trans_color       <int>        .D.V..... color value (ARGB) that is used instead of transparent color (from 0 to UINT32_MAX) (default 1.67772e+07)

Two things are incorrect here: The max and the default.

My patches are turning this into:

  -trans_color       <int>        .D.V..... color value (ARGB) that is used instead of transparent color (from 0 to INT_MAX) (default 16777215)

It might not be perfect, but it's much better than before.

Changing the storage type would need code changes to the gif decoder and require testing. At this time, I'm afraid, I'm not able to get into this. Of course, I'll do requested detail adjustments to my patches, though. :-)

Best regards,
