[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/6] avutil/hwcontext_cuda: add AVCUDAFramesContext and AVCUDAFramesContext.flags

[Timo Rothenpieler]

Frames can be mapped from nvdec/cuvid, not needing any actual memory
allocation, but all other features of the hw_frames_ctx.
Hence the dummy-mode, which does not allocate any (notable amounts of)
memory but otherwise behaves the exact same.
