[FFmpeg-devel] why are audio/video encoding/decoding functions marked as attribute_deprecated?

[qw]

Hi,

avcodec_decode_video2(), avcodec_decode_audio4(), avcodec_encode_video2(), and avcodec_encode_audio2(). The following url links are ffmpeg 3.1.1 description:

http://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/3.1/group__lavc__decoding.html#ga3ac51525b7ad8bca4ced9f3446e96532

Why are the four functions marked as attribute_deprecated?

The four encoding/decoding functions are still used in ffmpeg.c and transcoding.c.

Thanks!
