Detailed Description

Function Documentation

◆ vlc_frame_ChainAppend()

static void vlc_frame_ChainAppend	(	vlc_frame_t **	pp_list,
		vlc_frame_t *	frame
	)

inlinestatic

Appends a vlc_frame_t to the chain.

The given frame is appended to the last frame of the given chain.

Attention: Using this function on long chains or repeatedly calling it to append a lot of frames can be slow, as it has to iterate the whole chain to append the frame. In these cases vlc_frame_ChainLastAppend should be used.

Parameters

pp_list	Pointer to the vlc_frame_t chain
frame	The vlc_frame_t to append (can be NULL)

See also: vlc_frame_ChainLastAppend()

Example:

vlc_frame_t *p_chain = NULL;
 
vlc_frame_ChainAppend(&p_chain, p_frame);

References p.

◆ vlc_frame_ChainExtract()

static size_t vlc_frame_ChainExtract	(	vlc_frame_t *	p_list,
		void *	p_data,
		size_t	i_max
	)

static

Extracts data from a chain of frames.

Copies the specified amount of data from the chain into the given buffer. If the data in the chain is less than the maximum amount given, the remainder of the buffer is not modified.

Parameters

	p_list	Pointer to the first vlc_frame_t of the chain to copy from
[out]	p_data	Destination buffer to copy the data to
	i_max	Number of bytes to copy

Returns: Number of bytes actually copied

◆ vlc_frame_ChainGather()

static vlc_frame_t * vlc_frame_ChainGather ( vlc_frame_t * p_list )

inlinestatic

Gathers a chain into a single vlc_frame_t.

All frames in the chain are gathered into a single vlc_frame_t and the original chain is released.

Parameters

p_list Pointer to the first vlc_frame_t of the chain to gather

Returns: Returns a pointer to a new vlc_frame_t or NULL if the frame can not be allocated, in which case the original chain is not released. If the chain pointed to by p_list is already gathered, a pointer to it is returned and no new frame will be allocated.

◆ vlc_frame_ChainLastAppend()

static void vlc_frame_ChainLastAppend	(	vlc_frame_t ***	ppp_last,
		vlc_frame_t *	frame
	)

inlinestatic

Appends a vlc_frame_t to the last frame pointer and update it.

Uses a pointer over a pointer to p_next of the last frame of the frame chain to append a frame at the end of the chain and updates the pointer to the new last frame's p_next. If the appended frame is itself a chain, it is iterated till the end to correctly update ppp_last.

Parameters

[in,out]	ppp_last	Pointer to pointer to the end of the chain (The vlc_frame_t::p_next of the last vlc_frame_t in the chain)
	frame	The vlc_frame_t to append

Example:

vlc_frame_t *p_frame = NULL;
vlc_frame_t **pp_frame_last = &p_frame;
 
vlc_frame_ChainLastAppend(&pp_frame_last, p_other_frame);

References vlc_frame_t::p_next.

◆ vlc_frame_ChainProperties()

static void vlc_frame_ChainProperties	(	const vlc_frame_t *	p_list,
		int *	pi_count,
		size_t *	pi_size,
		vlc_tick_t *	pi_length
	)

inlinestatic

Retrieves chain properties.

Can be used to retrieve count of frames, number of bytes and the duration of the chain.

Parameters

	p_list	Pointer to the first vlc_frame_t of the chain
[out]	pi_count	Pointer to count of frames in the chain (may be NULL)
[out]	pi_size	Pointer to number of bytes in the chain (may be NULL)
[out]	pi_length	Pointer to length (duration) of the chain (may be NULL)
