[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH]lavc/opus_rc: Case a const pointer to uint8_t *

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

Hi!

The Opus struct RawBitsContext is used in both the decoder and the encoder.
The fact that *position is const avoids warnings in the decoder where
it points into the bitstream. The encoder writes into the same
pointer, attached cast silences the warning on targets where AV_WB32()
does not internally cast the qualifier away.

It is also possible to use a union if anybody prefers this:
diff --git a/libavcodec/opus_rc.h b/libavcodec/opus_rc.h
index 627f832..baad4ce 100644
--- a/libavcodec/opus_rc.h
+++ b/libavcodec/opus_rc.h

+        RawBitsEncContext rbe;
+    };
     uint32_t range;
     uint32_t value;
     uint32_t total_bits;

and use rbe in ff_opus_rc_put_raw().
