I'm not sure about that, right now a gap would just require adding bound checks in exactly 5 different places, whereas restructuring this well-established system will need careful modification for each of the codecs involved, which are quite a few. The real problem to me seems the fact that _NB elements are used outside the library, despite being documented against, so I think it would be more productive to fix those occurrences (especially since this is a user-facing API). -- Vittorio _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
