The waste is in writing to the table that will never be used. As long as it is left as 0, it will not use memory, as soon as you touch it it uses up memory. But see my patch, if people think it's better it can be added. > I had no fancy ifdefs for this, just some Makefile magic. Because you also always included both tables in the binary, whether used or not (and due to the shared init function the linker could not remove the unused one). I can see that one could argue either way concerning ifdef mess vs. a few kB wasted though. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
