[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC] Type descriptors

[Nicolas George]

This mail is about a project I have to make FFmpeg's API and
infrastructure more convenient. For a common introduction, see this thread:
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2020-December/274167.html

For each simple type, including enumerations like AVColorRange and flat
structures like AVReplayGain, have a set of standardized functions for
common operations, including probably:

- printing;
- serializing to string;
- parsing from string;
- serializing to/from compact binary form;
- freeing;
- referencing or cloning.

These functions will have a standardized name and prototype. They will be
grouped in structures that describe a type entirely.

Note: this project requires a good unified string API.

Regards,
