[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 0/4] Exploit compile-time constant

in-between. I had expected Mickael Raulet to comment if he was seeing
something not compatible with this. I think the bipred code is a bit
more mature since Ronald comments (iirc), so premature optimization is
probably a bit strong. Once Mickael is OK, then I'd agree with you
about applying it.

I was saying this mostly because it doesn't really register overall:
MC is around 20% in ffhevc for starters.

That's actually the biggest beef I have with this patchset:
MAX_PB_SIZE is a C and asm define, and the 2 need to be synchronized
manually. I don't see how it could go beyond 64 (max block size in
hevc), so the issue is rhetorical.

I'm busy atm so I don't expect a new patchset soon.
