[gdal-dev] Overriding IRasterIO in class derived from GDALRasterBand

[Tamas Szekeres]

Just thinking out loadly;

Wouldn't it be easier to implement that cache at the driver level, just by
composing the raster in a temp image buffer and feed that image in the
subsequent IReadBlock calls? I think we should also think about the non
regular and overlapping blocks which should also be covered by the
implementation here.

Best regards,

Tamas
