[Ffmpeg-devel] swscale and memalign

[Luca Abeni]

Hi all,

I noticed that my last commit for swscale broke the compilation for
architectures that do not implement memalign.
Let me apologize about that.

A patch like the first attached one (build_fix.diff) seems to fix the
issue. I think it is correct, and I would be tempted to commit it ASAP,
because it fixes a compilation issue. Michael, is it ok?

But looking at the issue, I am wondering if a more radical approach
would be better... I mean, can we replace all the memalign() instances
in swscale.c with av_malloc()? I tried this (see the attached
remove_memalign.diff), and the result seems to be correctly working on
linux/x86.
But is this change valid? For example, I see that some of the replaced
memalign() request a 64-bytes alignment, and I do not think av_malloc()
provides it...

Also, out of curiosity: how does this stuff work? If the system does not
provide memalign, malloc is used. And I do not think it can provide a
64-bytes alignment. 


			Thanks,
				Luca
