[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 2/3] lavc: add a framework to fix alignment problems.

Nicolas George george at nsup.org
Thu May 18 11:11:13 EEST 2017


A lot of codecs require aligned frame data, but do not document it.
It can result in crashes with perfectly valid uses of the API.

Design rationale:

- requiring frame data to be always aligned would be wasteful;

- alignment requirements will evolve
  (the 16->32 bump is still recent);

- requiring applications to worry about alignment is not convenient.

For now, the default alignment is fixed at 32.

Fix: trac ticket #6349
