Can other developers give their input on this?
I am not currently a FFmpeg developer, so my opinion might be less relevant than what others have stated. I think giving a source for things that are not inherently obvious, but are part of the code is a good idea. Even if some tables are well explained in some standards or some values are in their very nature a "magic number", knowing which standard the table was taken from, or knowing if a certain value *is* a magic number gives other devs the information to research and answer their questions themselves, with little work for the original author. Some more documentation, be it about source code or usage may also decrease the rate of questions on the mailing lists. Forcing people to source everything leads to useless sources, but if it's not clear whether or not a piece of code needs further explanation, I think verbosity is the better idea. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
