Subject: [PATCH] libavutil/thread.h:  Fixed g++ build error when
 ASSERT_LEVEL is greater than 1

Purpose: libavutil/thread.h: Fixed g++ build error when ASSERT_LEVEL
is greater than 1.  This is only relevant when thread.h is included by
C++ files.  In this case, the relevant code is only defined if
HAVE_PTHREADS is defined as 1.  Use configure --assert-level=2 to do
so.

Note: Issue discovered as a result of Coverity build failure.  Cause
of build failure pinpointed by Hendrik Leppkes.

Comments:

-- libavutil/thread.h: Altered ASSERT_PTHREAD_NORET definition such
   that it uses av_make_error_string instead of av_err2str().
   av_err2str() uses a "parenthesized type followed by an initializer
   list", which is apparently not valid C++.  This issue started
   occurring because thread.h is now included by the DeckLink C++
   files.  The alteration does the equivalent of what av_err2str()
   does, but instead declares the character buffer as a local
   variable.

I don't like limiting ourselves in the common C code of the project
because C++ is a bad and limited language. Can't you solve this by bumping
the minimal requirement of C++ version?

We're already using C++11 when available because of atomics on mediacodec.
Also, just tried and it seems to fail even with C++14, so it just doesn't
work with C++.

We could instead just make these strict assert wrappers work only on C
code by for example checking for defined(__cplusplus).

I'd say let's apply the patch as is, that is the simplest solution.

Marton
