[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] simplify GET_UTF8 to use ff_log2_tab

[Reimar Döffinger]

Hello,
currently GET_UTF8 calls av_log2 which is simply overkill,
since we only care about the lowest 8 bits.
This may be intentional since my suggestion would be problematic
if GET_UTF8 should become part of the public API, since ff_log2_tab
is not public.
A possibility would be to at least use av_log2_16bit or better add a
public av_log2_8bit.
Comments?

Greetings,
Reimar D?ffinger
