Potential fix for https://github.com/bniladridas/hybrid-compute/security/code-scanning/3242

To fix this, force the multiplication to occur in double before calling pow, by casting one operand to double (preferably the indexed sample value). This preserves behavior for normal inputs while eliminating the pre-promotion overflow risk flagged by CodeQL.

In include/stb_image.h, within stbi__hdr_to_ldr around line 2087, update:

  • from: pow(data[i * comp + k] * stbi__h2l_scale_i, stbi__h2l_gamma_i)
  • to: pow((double)data[i * comp + k] * (double)stbi__h2l_scale_i, (double)stbi__h2l_gamma_i)

No new imports or helper methods are required.

Combines all 15 automated code scanning alert fixes for multiplication
result converted to larger type. These changes span
`include/stb_image.h`, `include/stb_image_write.h`, and
`src/preprocess.c` with consistent application of `size_t` casts to
prevent integer overflow before conversion to larger types. Overflow
checks are added where allocation sizes are stored back into `int`
variables such as `out_size`.
