[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 0/8] replacing #define by typedef

[Ganesh Ajjanagadde]

#define is often abused for doing typedefs. Usually there is no issue, but the
usage is unnecessarily risky and should be avoided. Concrete example taken from
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1666353/are-typedef-and-define-the-same-in-c:
typedef int* int_p1;
int_p1 a, b, c; // a, b, c are all pointers to int
#define int_p2 int*
int_p2 a, b, c; // only first is a pointer!

Furthermore, there is an additional advantage in that typedef respects scoping
rules while #define needs a matching undef or else is valid till the end of the
file. This simplifies slightly tests/tiny_ssim.

This series removes all such abuses of the preprocessor in FFmpeg.
