[QUESTION] SKBitmap.Decode(stream) will dispose this stream, feature or bug?

[xtuzy]

I use SKBitmap.Decode(stream) to create a Bitmap, when i need continue use this stream, i found it is dispose.

Skiasharp Version: 2.88.2

Are you saying this was different in earlier versions?

[xtuzy]

no difference compare with 2.88.0, i just feel it is not right, stream should be disposed by user like this

using(var stream = ***)
{
  var bitmap = SKBitmap.Decode(stream);
}

Just use SKData to wrap the stream, the stream will not be closed after SKBitmap.Decode.

using(var stream = ***)
{
    var skData = SKData.Create(stream);
    var bitmap = SKBitmap.Decode(skData);
    //stream will not be closed here
}

This is a really bad design choice if not a bug.

I'll need to confirm, but I am pretty sure this is expected. The decode usually reads all the way to the end, and the stream may not always be rewindable. So there was not much point in keeping it open... However, the Stream overloads could maybe get an additional parameter to indicate whether or not to close the stream.
