So, I rewrote the code to only use a single av_bprint_get_buffer() call, rather than looping through it. This is semantically identical to doing an extra malloc(), but also allows the 1K buffer on the stack. I did a survey of all (compressed) iCCP chunks found in PNG files in my "collection" (home folder..), and this is what I found: Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. 275 2619 2639 3000 2639 14813 Only roughly 11.57% of files are below the "1K" cutoff threshold for using the small buffer optimization. In light of this, I don't think the 1K optimization is hugely important. But, using the AVBPrint does make the code slightly easier to work with in my eyes. The cleanest alternative, I think, would be to store the deflateBound on the ICC profile somewhere in the PNGEncContext, and then use av_malloc to get a temporary buffer inside `png_get_iccp`. It's of course possible to somehow write directly to the output packet buffer, but I don't think avoiding a ~4K malloc/memcpy is worth the hassle and bug risk of sidestepping png_write_chunk in favor of some custom chunk writing code.
