ff_thread_can_start_frame()

int ff_thread_can_start_frame

(

AVCodecContext *

avctx

)

ff_thread_finish_setup()

void ff_thread_finish_setup

(

AVCodecContext *

avctx

)

If the codec defines update_thread_context(), call this when they are ready for the next thread to start decoding the next frame.

After calling it, do not change any variables read by the update_thread_context() method, or call ff_thread_get_buffer().

Parameters

avctx

The context.

Definition at line 671 of file pthread_frame.c.

Referenced by frame_worker_thread().

ff_thread_get_buffer()

int ff_thread_get_buffer	(	AVCodecContext *	avctx,
		AVFrame *	f,
		int	flags
	)

Wrapper around get_buffer() for frame-multithreaded codecs.

Call this function instead of ff_get_buffer(f). Cannot be called after the codec has called ff_thread_finish_setup().

Parameters

avctx	The current context.
f	The frame to write into.

ff_thread_sync_ref()

enum ThreadingStatus ff_thread_sync_ref	(	AVCodecContext *	avctx,
		size_t	offset
	)

Allows to synchronize objects whose lifetime is the whole decoding process among all frame threads.

When called from a non-copy thread, do nothing. When called from another thread, place a new RefStruct reference at the given offset in the calling thread's private data from the RefStruct reference in the private data of the first decoding thread. The first thread must have a valid RefStruct reference at the given offset in its private data; the calling thread must not have a reference at this offset in its private data (must be NULL).

Parameters

avctx	an AVCodecContext
offset	offset of the RefStruct reference in avctx's private data

Return values

FF_THREAD_IS_COPY	if frame-threading is in use and the calling thread is a copy; in this case, the RefStruct reference will be set.
FF_THREAD_IS_MAIN_THREAD	if frame-threading is in use and the calling thread is the main thread.
FF_THREAD_NO_FRAME_THREADING	if frame-threading is not in use.
