AVBuffer 36 * represents the data buffer itself; it is opaque and not meant to be accessed 37 * by the caller directly, but only through AVBufferRef. However, the caller may 38 * e.g. compare two AVBuffer pointers to check whether two different references 39 * are describing the same data buffer. AVBufferRef represents a single 40 * reference to an AVBuffer and it is the object that may be manipulated by the 41 * caller directly. 42 * 43 * There are two functions provided for creating a new AVBuffer with a single 44 * reference -- av_buffer_alloc() to just allocate a new buffer, and 45 * av_buffer_create() to wrap an existing array in an AVBuffer. From an existing 46 * reference, additional references may be created with av_buffer_ref(). 47 * Use av_buffer_unref() to free a reference (this will automatically free the 48 * data once all the references are freed). 49 * 50 * The convention throughout this API and the rest of FFmpeg is such that the 51 * buffer is considered writable if there exists only one reference to it (and 52 * it has not been marked as read-only). The av_buffer_is_writable() function is 53 * provided to check whether this is true and av_buffer_make_writable() will 54 * automatically create a new writable buffer when necessary. 55 * Of course nothing prevents the calling code from violating this convention, 56 * however that is safe only when all the existing references are under its 57 * control. 58 * 59 * @note Referencing and unreferencing the buffers is thread-safe and thus 60 * may be done from multiple threads simultaneously without any need for 61 * additional locking. 62 * 63 * @note Two different references to the same buffer can point to different 64 * parts of the buffer (i.e. their AVBufferRef.data will not be equal). 65 */ 66 67 /** 68 * A reference counted buffer type.
