big ffmpeg patch

2003-11-01T18:12:53+00:00

* do not define CONFIG_ENCODERS any more, use a stripped down XINE_MPEG_ENCODER,
  which will only compile an I-frame-only MPEG1 encoder (speeds up compile time)
* fix a lot of warnings in ffmpeg (a good deal of which have already been
  submitted to the ffmpeg project by Mike)
* simplify some Makefiles

update ffmpeg. trying to keep local changes (see diff_to_ffmpeg_cvs.txt), let me

2003-03-26T14:43:46+00:00

know if i overlooked something.
as usual, preliminary QA: tested non debug builds and several codecs including
divx3/4/5, mpeg4, xvid, msmpeg4v3, svq1, wmv7, dv (video/audio), wma
i also enabled wmv8 by default since it worked fine with the streams i have. i'm not
sure about current state of that so we might enable it only for non-x86 users in
case of trouble.

Xine assert() replacement:

2003-02-28T02:51:47+00:00

All assert() function calls, with exceptions of libdvdread and libdvdnav, have been
replaced with XINE_ASSERT. Functionally XINE_ASSERT behaves just likes its predecesor but its
adding the ability to print out a stack trace at the point where the assertion fails.
So here are a few examples.
assert (0);
This use of assert was found in a couple locations most favorably being the default case of a switch
statement. This was the only thing there. So if the switch statement was unable to find a match
it would have defaulted to this and the user and the developers would be stuck wonder who died and where.
So it has been replaced with
XINE_ASSERT(0, "We have reach this point and don't have a default case");
It may seem a bit none descriptive but there is more going on behind the scene.
In addition to checking a condition is true/false, in this case '0', the XINE_ASSERT
prints out:
:: - assertion '' failed. 
An example of this might be:
input_dvd.c:open_plugin:1178 - assertion '0' failed. xine_malloc failed!!! You have run out of memory
XINE_ASSERT and its helper function, print_trace, are found in src/xine-utils/xineutils.h
