void av_fast_malloc ( void ptr,
unsigned int *  size,
size_t  min_size 
)

Allocate a buffer, reusing the given one if large enough.

Contrary to av_fast_realloc the current buffer contents might not be preserved and on error the old buffer is freed, thus no special handling to avoid memleaks is necessary.

Parameters
ptrpointer to pointer to already allocated buffer, overwritten with pointer to new buffer
sizesize of the buffer *ptr points to
min_sizeminimum size of *ptr buffer after returning, *ptr will be NULL and *size 0 if an error occurred.

void av_fast_padded_malloc ( void ptr,
unsigned int *  size,
size_t  min_size 
)

Same behaviour av_fast_malloc but the buffer has additional FF_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE at the end which will will always be 0.

In addition the whole buffer will initially and after resizes be 0-initialized so that no uninitialized data will ever appear.

int av_lockmgr_register ( int(*)(void **mutex, enum AVLockOp op cb)

Register a user provided lock manager supporting the operations specified by AVLockOp.

mutex points to a (void *) where the lockmgr should store/get a pointer to a user allocated mutex. It's NULL upon AV_LOCK_CREATE and != NULL for all other ops.

Parameters
cbUser defined callback. Note: FFmpeg may invoke calls to this callback during the call to av_lockmgr_register(). Thus, the application must be prepared to handle that. If cb is set to NULL the lockmgr will be unregistered. Also note that during unregistration the previously registered lockmgr callback may also be invoked.

Used by xiph codecs.

Parameters
sbuffer to write to; must be at least (v/255+1) bytes long
vsize of extradata in bytes
Returns
