I am getting an error at IDE "Invalid or unsupported file format" for an input "n" equal or greater than:

  • 68 for small.bmp
  • 36 for smiley.bmp
  • 27 for large.bmp

I also tried to peek with staff's solution, and everything at headers seems to be OK.

Edit:

    ...
    // iterate over infile's scanlines
    for (int i = 0, biHeight = abs(bi.biHeight); i < biHeight; i++)
    {
    ...

Your output file is too large, larger than the header claims. Use input height, not output height for the outermost for loop.

Not sure this can explain the problem you describe, especially those numbers make me wonder. A common mistake would be confusing input and output padding, but all related cases I've seen so far produced some viewable output.

  • TY!!! You're right, I used the outptr biHeight at the outermost for loop, fixing that it worked well even for n=100!
