start emacs -Q
evaluate (arg FILE-OR-DATA of create-image should point to a pbm image)

M-x foo

This displays the image with emacs 25, but not with emacs 26.0.90:
there is just a small bounding box (smaller than the image) where
the image should be displayed.  It is my understanding that pbm
images do not depend on external libraries.  (Anyway, I built emacs
25 on the same machine without problems.)

Works for me in Emacs 26.0.90 on MS-Windows.  I used PBM images from
etc/images/ in the Emacs tree: does this fail to work for you with
those images as well?

Yes, no external libraries should be needed.

I see problems with some PBM files from etc/images with emacs 26.0.90 on
Windows. The ones that don't work appear to be those that contain a
Netpbm header, e.g. back-arrow.pbm close.pbm cut.pbm fwd-arrow.pbm
home.pbm

I see no problems with those images you mention as problematic.

Could it be a problem specific to 64-bit builds?

I've tried this in a 32bit MinGW build with the same results. It appears
to be a problem with the pbm entry in image-type-header-regexps, as
doing (setq image-type-header-regexps '(("\\`P[1-6]" . pbm))) results in
the problematic images displaying correctly.

The file format is described at http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/pbm.html

Further testing with the images from etc/images in emacs 26 shows that
this patch appears to fix the problem:

Then why does it work here with the unmodified PBM entry?

Thanks.  However, I'm puzzled by the fact that it works here without
any changes.

Can you step with a debugger through the code in image.c and tell what
exactly fails with the unmodified regexp?

Loading the troublesome images from "emacs -Q" also works in unmodified
emacs 26, so something in my init.el changes the behaviour.

The problem is in image.el, where string-match-p in image-type-from-data
fails to match the regexp.

Further testing shows that my init.el has:
    (auto-image-file-mode 1)

Removing that line fixes the problem.

I need to apologize: the bug is not with pbm images, but with ppm
images.  (The tool I use to create them calls them pbm, but it gives
ppm, pgm or pbm files depending on the content of the image.)

Then I realized there seem to be different versions of ppm files.
If I use the imagemagick tool `convert' to convert
etc/images/home.pbm to a ppm file it gives me the attached file
home-1bit.ppm.  This one still displays fine.  But if I export this
file with gimp, it gives me the attached file home-8bit.ppm.  This
file illustrates the bug I am talking about.

The file names refer to the output from the imagemagick tool
`identify':

$ identify home*
home-1bit.ppm PPM 24x24 24x24+0+0 1-bit sRGB 1.84KB 0.000u 0:00.000
home-8bit.ppm PPM 24x24 24x24+0+0 8-bit sRGB 1.78KB 0.000u 0:00.000

PS: Visiting these files display them fine (according to the
modeline, this uses imagemagick).  The problem occurs with
insert-image which appears to process these files differently

No problem - it lead me to find a different bug that also needed fixing.

Thanks for the example files. On Windows with a 64bit MSYS2 build of
emacs 26 I also see the problems loading the home-8bit.ppm file.

After some debugging, it appears that the problem was introduced in:

commit 3c2c50260e19deff2a0a054882eaea4049f25a2f
Author: Paul Eggert <eggert <at> cs.ucla.edu>
Date:   Thu Sep 29 20:09:37 2016 -0700

This changed the raster data from using "unsigned char" to "char" which
cannot be correct, as this is binary data. The trouble occurs when
reading an 0xff byte from the raster data, which gets sign extended to
r, g and b values (of type int) of -1.

The following patch works for me (including the earlier fix):

Eli can decide if reverting the previous "unsigned char" -> "char"
changes is a better fix.

Looks like going back to unsigned should be cleaner, but I'd like to
hear what Paul thinks.

Andy's fixes look good to me. Going back to unsigned would result in several 
pointer casts that are more dangerous than converting to unsigned. They can be 
further improved by encapsulating this stuff into a function, and I installed 
the attached (the second one is Andy's other fix, which I installed in his name).

I looked for related bugs in image.c (i.e., caused by my earlier patch) and did 
not find any.

Thanks for the quick fix.  Proper handling of these images is so
important for my everyday usage of emacs I'll have to wait for the
next pretest to come out.
