Thank for you trying to help. To other committers, please do not apply
this because there is uncertainty about its correctness in another
thread. In that case, perhaps this should only be changed to somehow
indicate it is deprecated. Plus...

where is that defined? Looks gcc-specific but also in clang, but is it
safe or dependent on some recent version of clang? I know some people
have submitted patches to frei0r for msvc. What about that compiler?

I guess it is not too big of deal if last few pixels are skipped when
(width * height) is not a multiple of 4.
