Instead of this we should have a generic allocator like
void *av_frame_side_data_allocate(enum AVFrameSideDataType, size_t
*size, size_t elem_count), with the latter being used for the allocators
that allocate arrays (like AVRegionOfInterest); it has to be set to zero
for the others. This will also avoid creating new
av_*_create_side_data() functions.
I don't mind a function like that being added to simplify future
additions, but this API is orthogonal to the frame side data one. It's
also used in packets, for example, and right now lavf is using
sizeof(AVMasteringDisplayMetadata) because
av_mastering_display_metadata_alloc() is not useful.
The API proposed by me is supposed to make API like
av_mastering_display_metadata_alloc_size() redundant and therefore these
two additions are not orthogonal.
Just because there's a frame side data type for MDM does not make the
new alloc function redundant. The frame side data API is one API
wrapping others. You don't see code using the AVHash API when they only
care about AVMD5. MDM is and should be standalone.
av_mastering_display_metadata_alloc() should be deprecated and removed
after this, too. That will ensure we still have a single symbol for this.
Regarding the av_*_create_side_data() functions, they were never needed.
They are a convenient wrapper/shortcut, and your
av_frame_side_data_allocate() would not really replace them as you'd
still need to use av_frame_add_side_data() afterwards.
