Hi all
As i have too many things to do already i did the most logic thing and
started thinking about a new and unrelated idea.
This is a list of problems and ideas, that everyone is welcome to add to and
comment on.
AVDictionary is just bad.
* its complicated internally with
unneeded alternative (AV_DICT_DONT_STRDUP_VAL/KEY) these are rarely used
and probably not relevant for performance.
As far as I'm aware the main purpose of AV_DICT_DONT_STRDUP is to
transfer ownership to the dictionary to save a call to malloc/free. If I
construct a string e.g. with av_bprint API, and then I want to pass it
as a value to an AVDictionary *, then without access to
AV_DICT_DONT_STRDUP_VAL as an option, I will then have to free it.
Since your goal is to avoid malloc/free calls I feel like this is a
reasonable interface to continue to support.
