[FFmpeg-devel] Multithreaded svq3 decoding gives segfault

[Thorsten Jordan]

Hello,

when using 2 or more threads with avcodec_thread_init() and SVQ3 video
it gives a segfault, may be a known problem, but here is a stack trace:


Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

(some infos)

(gdb) print h
$1 = (H264Context *) 0x817f790
(gdb) print h->thread_context[i]
$2 = (struct H264Context *) 0x0
(gdb) print i
$3 = 1


It is obviously that H264Context.thread_context[1] is unexpectedly NULL
here. It seems that the multithreaded h264 decoding just ignored the
fact that svq3 decoding is done with the same code.
