[gdal-dev] Shapelib: Restoring missing .shx index file

Wed Mar 16 05:26:34 PDT 2016

Hi again,

to get to know GDAL codebase better I chose ticket #5035   (https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5035<https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5035)>)<https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5035)>.

I've implemented a configuration setting that allows to work with Shape-files that are missing SHX index file. If SHX is missing or corrupted and user supplied this config, SHX will be created.

I've started a pull-request here:  https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/104

Hope it makes sense, please let me know if I can improve it somehow.

Alexander
