|
|
35 * AVBuffer is an API for reference-counted data buffers.
|
|
36 *
|
|
37 * There are two core objects in this API -- AVBuffer and AVBufferRef. AVBuffer
|
|
38 * represents the data buffer itself; it is opaque and not meant to be accessed
|
|
39 * by the caller directly, but only through AVBufferRef. However, the caller may
|
|
40 * e.g. compare two AVBuffer pointers to check whether two different references
|
|
41 * are describing the same data buffer. AVBufferRef represents a single
|
|
42 * reference to an AVBuffer and it is the object that may be manipulated by the
|
|
43 * caller directly.
|
|
44 *
|
|
45 * There are two functions provided for creating a new AVBuffer with a single
|
|
46 * reference -- av_buffer_alloc() to just allocate a new buffer, and
|
|
47 * av_buffer_create() to wrap an existing array in an AVBuffer. From an existing
|
|
48 * reference, additional references may be created with av_buffer_ref().
|
|
49 * Use av_buffer_unref() to free a reference (this will automatically free the
|
|
50 * data once all the references are freed).
|
|
51 *
|
|
52 * The convention throughout this API and the rest of FFmpeg is such that the
|
|
53 * buffer is considered writable if there exists only one reference to it (and
|
|
54 * it has not been marked as read-only). The av_buffer_is_writable() function is
|
|
55 * provided to check whether this is true and av_buffer_make_writable() will
|
|
56 * automatically create a new writable buffer when necessary.
|
|
57 * Of course nothing prevents the calling code from violating this convention,
|
|
58 * however that is safe only when all the existing references are under its
|
|
59 * control.
|
|
60 *
|
|
61 * @note Referencing and unreferencing the buffers is thread-safe and thus
|
|
62 * may be done from multiple threads simultaneously without any need for
|
|
63 * additional locking.
|
|
64 *
|
|
65 * @note Two different references to the same buffer can point to different
|
|
66 * parts of the buffer (i.e. their AVBufferRef.data will not be equal).

211 * Frequently allocating and freeing large buffers may be slow. AVBufferPool is
|
|
212 * meant to solve this in cases when the caller needs a set of buffers of the

213 * same size (the most obvious use case being buffers for raw video or audio
|

214 * frames).
|
|
215 *
|
|
216 * At the beginning, the user must call av_buffer_pool_init() to create the

217 * buffer pool. Then whenever a buffer is needed, call av_buffer_pool_get() to
|
|
218 * get a reference to a new buffer, similar to av_buffer_alloc(). This new
|
|
219 * reference works in all aspects the same way as the one created by
|
|
220 * av_buffer_alloc(). However, when the last reference to this buffer is
|
|
221 * unreferenced, it is returned to the pool instead of being freed and will be
|
|
222 * reused for subsequent av_buffer_pool_get() calls.

|
223 *
|
|
224 * When the caller is done with the pool and no longer needs to allocate any new
|
|
225 * buffers, av_buffer_pool_uninit() must be called to mark the pool as freeable.
