[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 0/4] dynamic table generation improvements

[Ganesh Ajjanagadde]

This is a patch set that significantly speeds up dynamic table initialization
(the default) on all platforms. The degree of speedup may vary; best results
are obtained on a fully C99 compliant libm. In particular, benchmarks refer to
the GNU/Linux platform.

Patches tested with FATE with and without --enable-hardcoded-tables.

The topic of deciding whether to:
1. Always use dynamic init
2. Always use static init
3. Leave as is

for each of these two (cbrt_tablegen, mpegaudio_tablegen) is outside the scope of
this patchset, as it is a far more subjective issue.

Here, the benefits go to all users and packagers who do not use --enable-hardcoded-tables
(the default configure line). Such users include among many others vlc, mpv, chromium,
and the Arch Linux distribution.
