(This entails erroring out > in case the user requested more than UINT_MAX.) I really dislike this av_fast_* naming. Given that all these functions use unsigned int for something that should really be size_t, how about we deprecate them all and replace with something that has a sane naming convention and uses proper types? -- Anton Khirnov _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-request@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
