wanted: TINY jpeg(2000) lib or something similiar

i know... there is this rock solid libjpeg from the independent jpeg group.
but: it is fairly huge, a complete overkill for my smaller game projects. the code size is not ignorable, this adds some 80 kbytes or so to my app.
what i am searching... |

1) Many implementations of std::string are optimized for the case of short strings, by adding a small char[] buffer to the data struct and using that when the string will fit.

stack based string class

i am aware of ALL your points, i know that it MIGHT be that lists and strings use a pool-allocator, depending on implementation. in fact, at least for lists, i somewhere have read that microsoft stl implementation does use pool allocation.

@s1ca: fine. but: i want cross-platform portability. i do not want to code for every possible platform interfaces to the native libs. so far, i plan to port my game to win32, linux and osx. that means: 3 different interfaces... so i would rather like... |
